WE’RE UP FOR NEW PRODUCT OF THE YEAR AND WE.ARE.STOKED! We're honored that ASSEMBLY Magazine editors have selected Edgewater Automation to participate in their “New Product of the Year” contest at the ASSEMBLY Show happening in Rosemont, Illinois October 22-24. We’re being recognized for technology innovation in the Assembly Machines & Systems category for the automated faucet valve assembly system we designed for a customer. ASSEMBLY Show attendees will be asked to vote while at the show and winners will be announced October 24th at 9:30 a.m. If you’re attending the show, we hope you’ll not only vote for us, but visit our booth, too! THE SYSTEM WE CREATED & HOW IT SOLVED OUR CUSTOMER’S PROBLEM We designed and collaborated with our customer to create an assembly-pack-out system that, several months after installation, performs well, exceeds the targeted cycle time, and requires minimal maintenance. We used custom alignment devices to teach the robots and meet cycle times, choosing FANUC America Corporation SR-3iAs and SR-6iAs to handle 3D vision guidance and pick-and-place, load plastic parts onto the nest, apply silicone, inspect for quality, perform the leak test and load the housing valve and grease dispense; and the FANUC America Corporation M-710iC to put the parts into totes and place them on a pallet for shipment to an external packing process. The system features two portable tablets for operator use, allowing flexibility for movement around the machine. We found that “simplicity done to the extreme is elegance,” a credo Edgewater salesman Dave Goodenough lives by. And that internal ingenuity coupled with team collaboration allowed us to achieve this success. #AssemblyShow #NewProductOfTheYear #EdgewaterAutomation #AutomationTechnology #ManufacturingInnovation #FANUCRobotics #IndustrialAutomation #EngineeringExcellence #TechInnovation
