AEi
utilizes interchangeable fixtures and tooling on many
of our flexible automation solutions. This is an excellent
tool to provide the ability to have different mechanical
and electrical interfaces to different products that
need to be manufactured on the same automation stations.
The tooling changes automatically as specified by the
process recipe, or is swapped out manually.
Extensive AEi
experience with designing and deploying interchangeable
fixturing and tooling for a wide range of applications
The FlexAuto software platform allows the selection
and use of different fixturing and tooling, automatically
or manually, as needed for different products on
a given manufacturing station
AEi
typically uses kinematic couplings to make swapping
out tooling and fixturing modules fast, accurate, and
repeatable. This reduces the level of effort and training
required for operators while minimizing changeover
time from product to product for maximum station uptime.
