Multi-Head Assembly Stations

N/A From simple twin-headed modules to multi-headed, customized equipment, these systems can dramatically reduce assembly time and costs while improving consistency of placing.

These systems can be designed for virtually any application or assembly environment and process monitoring equipment or clamping modules can be easily integrated. The direction, type and number of assembly heads can all be customized. We have designed equipment with two heads to over eighty heads but the configurations are virtually limitless.

Together with the fasteners, these high precision tools create a high quality, reliable assembly system. The fasteners are placed accurately and consistently without the risk of over-torqueing. An additional benefit of these systems are the practical jig points provided by the assembly heads.
