CUSTOMISED ROBOTIC ISLANDS

Design, realization, installation

Assistec offers customers all its expertise and know-how acquired over more than 25 years operating as a technical service centre and system integrator, to design and implement the automation of CNC machines.

Assistec is a specialist in machine tool servicing and in workpiece or equipment handling.

In addition to automation for the servicing of machine tools, the company offers various vision systems:

- - - 2D integrated vision for quality control applications (dimensional control or detection of discrepancies such as dents, abrasions, etc.) and for workpiece timing systems.
    - 3D integrated vision for applications such as piece bulk pick-up, automatically and without operator intervention.

In addition to quality control systems with the aid of 2D vision, Assistec also manufactures:

- - - traditional dimensional quality control systems on custom-built measuring benches.
    - three-dimensional control stations, which have the great advantage of being able to automatically modify the tool offset correctors of the machining process and in this way obtain an unattended cycle.

A winning factor in our customised solutions is the painstaking care taken in the design of the robot and CNC communication systems. This is possible thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the machine tool, its machining cycles and by carefully listening to the customer's need for user-friendly systems.

A fundamental and indispensable aspect is the analysis of the production process. Understanding the real capacity requirements of the plant allows Assistec to guarantee the right amount of autonomy without operator intervention and to avoid production downtime especially during the unattended night cycle.

When designing customised plants, Assistec carefully analyses the need for production flexibility in order to meet current and future needs.

The production follows an ever-evolving market, which requires constantly updated machining cycles. Our systems adapt to new requirements without the need to redesign the entire system.

How do we design our systems?

- - - We work alongside customers to carefully analyse their production process and needs
    - We prepare a feasibility study
    - We design the automation
    - We simulate the proposed solution
    - We install the customised solutions at the customer's premises
    - We provide advice and specialised post-installation assistance
