Fully Automated Equipment
The maximum level of automation is offered by fully automated systems, which boost output, quality, and profits. These characteristics of fully automated manufacturing equipment are present:
-
Multi-Up or Continuous Processing
-
Multiple Operations Performed by a Single Machine
-
Automated On-Loading and Offloading
Semi-Automated Equipment
A machine operator tends to one or more machine stations during operation in semi-automated systems. While still offering higher throughput and quality than a fully manual process, semi-automated equipment is a more affordable option to fully automated systems.
-
1-Up or Multi-Up Processing
-
Multiple Operations Performed by a Single Machine
-
Automated or Manual Loading and Unloading
Single-Piece Workcells
Single-piece workcells are straightforward devices that use one part that is manually loaded and unloaded by an operator to execute an action. Single-piece workcells are common in low volume production or single-piece workflow manufacturing processes.
-
1-Up (Single Piece) Processing
-
One Operation
-
Manual Loading and Unloading
