What does Agile Assembly look like?

The skeleton of an AGILE ASSEMBLY TOOLING PLATFORM illustrates the unique "precision building block" means with which to build an expandable, reconfigurable, redeployable, robust, and functionally superior automatic assembly, automatic test, gage, or process machine; in any number of configurations: carrousel indexing, over and under indexing, individual cells, hybrid walking beam/shuttle bar combined with non-synchronous palletized conveyors; even high speed continuous motion: all with the same AGILE ASSEMBLY components. AGILE ASSEMBLY is robot-friendly: a perfect foundation upon which to mount one or more robots. (Some of our AGILE ASSEMBLY installations have over 25 robots mounted on a single carrousel configured AGILETRAN).

AGILE ASSEMBLY is ideally suited for mechanically synchronous automatic assembly, particularly using Swanson units and AGILE SPRING CARTRIDGES for parts picking and placing.

AGILE ASSEMBLY is the perfect choice for plant-wide utilization, with all machines having the same platform upon which to mount and actuate tools; and, to move and precisely locate work holding fixtures.

Users can tool AGILE ASSEMBLY in their own design and build facilities: use regional or specialized builders of their choice; or, look to the tooling facilities available from Swanson.

Machine builders find that incorporating AGILE ASSEMBLY greatly improves their competitive position and probability of choice, and greater margins should be expected with improved certainty of functional performance. Fewer engineering hours are required to successfully complete a job, resulting in greater sales turnover.

Both users and builders benefit from AGILE ASSEMBLY: a new way of thinking, a new way of designing and building, a new way of using automatic assembly machines.
