Continuous Motion Assembly
Continuous motion assembly systems offer unparalleled productivity benefits, including reduced maintenance costs, higher yields, and smoother, quieter operation, all thanks to the constant, precise alignment of parts during high-speed assembly.
How continuous motion assembly systems maximize productivity.
Output doesn’t get any faster than with a continuous motion assembly machine. But speed isn’t the only benefit of continuous motion technology. It’s about optimizing the process for the most consistent, highest quality performance. In high-speed continuous motion, multiple processes occur without interruption for every cycle, effectively overlapping. And because the tooling never loses contact with the individual components, part alignment is maintained during high-speed assembly.
The result is smoother processes in assembly machines that are much less likely to damage either your components or the machinery itself. The benefits to your equipment include:
- Significantly lower maintenance costs than indexing systems.
- Multiple, longer processes (some up to 3-4 seconds) automated on one continuous motion assembly machine—cycling at 400 cpm or higher.
- More “up time” in production, resulting in higher net yields.
- Customized machine design with a smaller footprint (sometimes by factors of 10 or more compared to other technologies).
- Quieter, smoother running machine.
Your company can maximize these benefits by designing new products with assembly automation in mind, using custom automation solutions provided by our engineering expertise.
