Part Handling Systems
At Mercator Robotec, we design and build customized work cells to provide smooth, precise part movement through our automated machine vision inspection systems. Our part handling systems ensure repeatable part feeding, placement, and sorting in label inspection, assembly verification, defect detection, and other quality control applications.
Mercator Robotec specializes in moving high volumes of discrete components, from those as small as a needle tip to as large as a car door. Our engineering team designs each system with the appropriate indexing, pneumatic, servo-driven, or vision guided technologies to ensure optimal part flow, and combines them with the proper components for precise, gentle part guidance. We employ a wide variety of conveyors, pallets, actuators, indexing tables, and robotics to balance speed and accuracy throughout the machine vision inspection process. Our highly automated systems are supplied with complete machine controls, intuitive, easy to use interfaces, and expertly developed motion control software.
Experienced in designing single cell or single station systems for cleanroom, welding, and general industrial environments across many industries, we can also perform upgrades to modernize your existing systems.
