adapto – Productivity for Manufacturing

adapto - Feature Overview

modularaffordable

compact

flexible

The new reality in (North American) Manufacturing

Shorter Product Life Cycles

Shorter Time Lines to bring new Products to Market

Increase of Revision Levels

Initial Production Volume is low (often with a potential, but not certain, increase in the mid or long term)

Single Product Automation

Conditions not suitable for traditional automation solutions

Amortization of automation equipment is difficult

Long Lead Times for automation machines

Ridged Machines are expensive and time consuming to retrofit

High Cost is prohibitive to allow automation on initial volume

Management is reluctant in Capital Spending

Manufacturing Challenges Automation Equipment

The traditional automation machine

Designed for specific applicationApprox. 80% custom componentsLong Lead Time due to linear task line

DesignManufacturingBuildWiringDebugging / testing

Large InvestmentLong, difficult and expensive upgradesProject must be fully defined prior to designQuality is dependent on project team

The adapto machine concept

Process Driven automationIndividually “working” cellsStand –alone or linkedApprox. 80% standard componentsPre-manufactured sub-assembliesShort Lead Time Cells are built parallel to each otherSimple Upgrade or exchange of cellsUser FriendlyQuality is predictable

adapto - flexibility in every direction

Use as a manually loaded stand-alone assembly cell

Upgrade an existing cell with additional automation

Upgrade an existing machine to accommodate new or modified products

Reuse or rearrange modules or processes as they may be needed in the future

From—manually loaded stand-alone assembly cell ...

To—fully automated stand-alone assembly cell ...

To—”integrated” assembly cell to an assembly line.

Product Revision Upgrades

Add or Exchange Cells/Modules Reasonable Cost

Prototype Machine: Quality isDependant on Project Team

QualityProven Building Blocks:Quality is planned for

adapto - Linear Motor Technology for maximum flexibility

Semi or fully automatic: loading, unloading and segregation of parts can be performed manually by an operator or automatically

Sub-Assembly: each cell assembles up to 4 component parts

Customizable: testing, measuring, and/or checking features can be easily integrated

Delivery: designed to be compact so time-to-market is greatly reduced (typical delivery time is 12 – 16 weeks)

High performance: up to 30 cycles per minute
