First Robotics FRC is an international high school robotics competition. It was founded in 1989 by inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen, with inspiration and assistance from physicist and MIT professor Woodie …
At AAE North America we have specialized in creating automated solutions for demanding assembly applications. Collaborative robot arms provide a future-proof platform for small businesses that need to optimize production. If your workflow changes, the cobot can be quickly redeployed to new processes due to its small size and lightweight design. Easier programming (even by …
Big things are happening at AAE North America. How big? Well, it involves one of the largest collaborative robots in the world — capable of lifting loads up to 35 kg. The future of automation is a world without safety fences, a world in which humans work side-by-side with robots. Cobots will handle the strenuous …
Scope: A leading manufacturer of builder products requested AAE North America to design, develop, and install an end-of-line robotic palletizing system for strapped bundles of nail plates. Part/Product: Zinc-plated steel nail plates bundled and strapped together in sets of 20 each. Nail plate sizes vary from 3”x4” all the way to 10”x16” for a total …
Application: Material Handling, Welding, and Grinding Industry: Tools AAE North America's customer produces portable bandsaw blades. Our engineers faced the challenge of creating an automation cell responsible for feeding the raw material, shaping the blade into a loop, welding the ends together, annealing the seam, and grinding it. AAE NA designed and constructed a three-robot …
Application: Inspection and Packing System Industry: Automotive AAE North America's customer manufactures sintered metal parts for engine applications. They needed an automation system to inspect three distinct assemblies for defects and ensure proper dowel insertion depth. The system had to package the inspected parts onto molded trays. AAE NA designed and constructed an automated machine …
Application: Material Handling Industry: Electronic components Our customer selected AAE North America to significantly enhance the production of a minuscule gold part (measuring down to 0.020” x 0.020”) essential in the electronics industry. The task involved bulk feeding these tiny components and packaging them in trays of varying sizes. The system needed to be highly …
