The Future of Automated Assembly

ATC’s equipment has been integral to assemble countless mission critical components and sub- assemblies in the world today. From a wide ranging scope in various markets: ICE (internal combustion engine) and electric powered vehicles, surgical and diagnostics medical devices, electrical and battery storage devices, to virtually every consumer product imaginable.

Material Handling is an essential part of every automation system. Whether moving heavy awkward parts or small intricate precision components, efficient manipulation and control is essential.

ATC’s dispensing solutions include volumetric, pneumatic, to high resolution servo-driven pump systems. Materials dispense range from lubricants, thermal paste, silicone, and (1 or 2 part adhesives), plus heating and curing.

Part marking verification is also a core competency of ATC Automation. After a mark is placed, we can verify that the mark is to specification (grade) and able to be read by all read stations.

Fastening is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints. Fastening is an essential part of most automation systems.

The control system is the heart of every automation system. It is important to have a well-planned control system that is easy for the end user to troubleshoot and maintain.

Data Management has become a standard practice across all industries. From FDA validation for a medical device assembly serialization or birth certificate, to product traceability on an automotive component; ATC Automation has a solution.

The process to ensure Quality at ATC falls into two categories: a) QMS (Quality Management System) for governing our business practices, and b) Quality Design Methodology to ensure World-Class statistical compliance of product produced by our equipment.

Industrial Vision Systems have become invaluable tools to meet a wide array of industrial needs. Whether performing product inspection, component identification, or facilitating guidance of a specific machine task, the use of machine vision ensures both the efficiency and quality of the production process.

ATC can help propose a flexible automation when your project includes a changing landscape. The flexible automation can allow for changes in part design, assembly sequence changes and changing production levels.

ATC’s assembly lines use all types and brands of robots for assembling transportation, medical devices, consumer products, and energy storage (batteries). Robotic applications include precision part alignment, dispensing, and vision.
