Overview

One station, specified end to end: the tooling that touches the part and the controls that drive it, quoted and built together rather than bought separately and made to agree afterwards.

It suits a line that works, apart from one place where it does not.

This is the smallest piece of work we take on. If the fix is a new set of jaws on tooling you already own, we will say so and quote that instead.

Specification

The station handles parts to 80 kg, with tooling stroke from 10 to 250 mm depending on the geometry. A cycle completes in under 1.2 seconds, and placement holds to ±0.03 mm.

Those figures are set against your part during the study, not taken from a catalogue page.

Set against your part

The study starts with a sample you send: weight, finish, tolerance, and the way the part sits when it reaches the station. Stroke, force and approach angle are chosen from those measurements, and the sample goes back with the quote.

Integration

The station drops into an existing line rather than replacing it. Fixing points, services and signal routes are surveyed before anything is cut, and the drawings you get back match what was installed.

Where the station shares a safety circuit with its neighbours, the assessment covers the whole altered area.

Downtime for the swap is quoted as a window, not an estimate. If the station cannot be in and running inside it, we say so before the order rather than on the day.

Service

Tooling faces and guides are the parts that wear, and both are replaceable inside a changeover slot. The station keeps running on the same frame.

The engineer who specified it stays reachable after handover. There is no first-line queue to pass through.

Wear faces are cut from stock profiles, so a replacement set is days rather than weeks. Their drawings are in the handover pack, and you are free to have them cut elsewhere.
