How can robotic automation improve efficiency in manufacturing processes?

Our robotic automation solutions dramatically boost efficiency in manufacturing by enhancing speed, precision, and consistency. We focus on minimizing manual errors, accelerating production rates, and ensuring safety by handling repetitive and hazardous tasks.

What are the different types of robotic automation systems available for manufacturing applications?

We offer a range of robotic automation systems for manufacturing, including SCARA and Delta robots. SCARA robots are ideal for precision tasks requiring speed and compact design, while Delta robots excel in fast, repetitive actions like picking and placing.

What types of defects or issues can vision inspection systems detect in manufacturing?

Our vision inspection systems are adept at detecting dimensional inaccuracies, surface defects like scratches or dents, misalignments, and incorrect or missing components. They are also capable of verifying label accuracy, barcode readability, and color consistency.

What types of manufacturing tasks can be performed using a rotary indexing machine?Rotary indexing machines at Big Sky Engineering are highly versatile, designed to perform a range of precise manufacturing tasks. They are ideal for assembly, drilling, precision machining, and quality inspection. These machines excel in high-volume production environments, offering accuracy and repeatability.

Automatic Panel Drilling Machine - Big Sky Engineering

SITUATION

A manufacturing company looking for a automated solution to drill holes in large assembly panels.

OPPORTUNITY & IMPLEMENTATION

The proposed and final stations include:
Panel Placement- The panel is placed into the machine in preparation for automatic drilling.
Drilling- The side and rear drillers autonomously drill the specified hole locations.
Product Offload- When the clamps retract, the panel is ready for removal. The HMI will indicate if the part is passed or failed.

DESIGN FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

Class 3 guard enclosure
