Assembly and Testing Equipment

Over two decades of experience in offering high quality automation solutions allows us to custom design and build single station assembly machines as well as test/inspection machines that suit your specific manufacturing process requirements. Our in-house design capability allows for total control of the project from start to finish. Adhering to ISO 17025 standards, we provide design plus fabrication services for a range of assembly and testing equipment applications in automotive, medical, as well as packaging industries.

A 10-ton hoist crane at our machine shop enables us to safely handle your custom built assembly equipment within our 40 feet by 80 feet build floor. Manufacturers seeking to increase the efficiency and accuracy of their assembly processes can benefit from our customized manufacturing services for mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and robotic assembly equipment. We have previously designed and manufactured a unique range of assembly equipment, including automotive battery case heat-sealing machines, continuous motion conveyors for assembling heavy-duty starting motors, bearing presses for transmission cases, and assembly machines for motor starters.
