Lean Automation
Setpoint understands and builds automated manufacturing equipment suited for lean manufacturing systems and traditional processing techniques. Setpoint embraces and implements Lean Manufacturing and the Toyota Production System. Our project team can help take you from concept to turn-key solutions. Each Setpoint product is lean and upholds the lean manufacturing tenets:
- Right sized machines that are conducive to flow
- Highly reliable and self diagnostic equipment
- Modular standard equipment which facilitates future adaptation for new product families
- Smart tooling that poka-yokes (error proofs) and accommodates on-the-fly model changeover.
Automated Assembly Equipment
When it comes to designing and building a machine that fits perfectly into your manufacturingplans, Setpoint is the answer. We have been developing custom automation equipment to assemble a wide range of products since 1992.
Setpoint solutions range from the explosives automation where pyrotechnic powder is loaded and assembled to torque assembly machines that tighten screws to a specific spec for final positioning on a part.
Referring to the Micro-Gas Generator (MGG) Line Mike Fielding of Rockwell Automation said, "it is the most I/O intensive machine in North America." Check out the case study to see this combination assembly and inspection machine.
Test and Inspection Systems
If you're like most manufacturers, quality is your top priority. Ensuring that each of our client's many products meet strict quality metrics is something we understand and make possible. Setpoint has been producing automated test and inspection systems that have allowed manufacturers to consistently meet or exceed their strict quality policy since 1992.
When it comes to high end test and inspection systems, Setpoint leads the industry in fully automated, high throughput Real Time Radiography X-Ray Inspection machines that are designed to provide 100% in line x-ray testing for the parts on the line.
