Your custom equipment partner for discrete assembly solutions.
Discrete assembly is rarely as simple as it seems. Numerous variables need to be considered: materials, packaging, sometimes even the environment itself. Remmele examines every project with an eye toward innovative solutions that leverage our strengths and offer our clients vision and system integrity into the future. Our unparalleled record of collaboration, dedication to remaining at the forefront of technology, and extensive experience working with a wide range of materials all combine to make Remmele the ideal partner for any discrete assembly project.
Your Product
Whether you're developing equipment for a new product fresh from R&D or refining next-generation systems to increase the Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) of a current process, Remmele can help find the right solution for your application. Our custom systems have encompassed both synchronous and asynchronous designs. Our expertise covers a broad range of discrete materials and a wide array of processes, including non-destructive testing and vision systems. You can be assured that Remmele has the experience to integrate all elements of your process into a robust turnkey solution.
How Can We Help?
Below you'll find an overview of several discrete assembly projects that offered Remmele unique and interesting challenges. See what we did for these clients...and then let us see what we can do for you.
System 1
Delicate aluminum and paper components were precisely die-cut before being lifted and placed by a robot onto pallets. Pallets rode conveyor to stacking stations, where forty-nine individual parts were placed in final formation and wrapped. Project required several processes working in tandem, operating at 32 PPM. The clarity of our design, decades of experience in making systems work together, and expertise in working within a Class 10,000 clean room environment made Remmele the perfect choice for this client. Key technologies included robotics, precision laser cutting, servo-driven cold staking, and laser measurement. Materials included aluminum and Kraft paper.
System 2
Web-processed parts were inspected, sorted, stacked, and loaded into cartridges. Cartridges were then tested, barcode-labeled, and prepared for delivery at a rate of 17 PPM. For this project, our client needed a partner who could handle complex web processing integrated into high-speed discrete assembly to produce a system designed to ISO and GAMP standards and compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. Remmele offered a long history of experience in precisely those areas. Key technologies included robotics, ultrasonic welding, high-speed vision, SQL database, and GAMP design. Materials included polystyrene singulated products and polystyrene injection molded cartridges.
System 3
A small plastic frame moved through twelve stations where parts of
various shapes, sizes, and materials were mounted onto it at a rate of 60 PPM. After each addition, testing verified correct mounting and functionality. Remmele's expertise in prototyping, process development, and product design helped clarify the client's evolving needs to produce a system exceeding expectations. Key technologies included heat staking, plastic forming, metal forming, continuous-web-to-discrete-part handling, and online heat-seal integrity testing. Materials included plastic, foil and film laminated web, rubber diaphragms and valves, aluminum crimp rings, springs, and steel ball bearings.
