This pogo pin test fixture is used on a large wire harness assembly and test board for a major manufacturer of fire trucks. The fixture automatically tests all fuses and relay contacts in the power distribution panel.

This injection molding end-of-arm fixture is used to insert 8 labels into the die cavity of a mold tooling. It uses high voltage static for label adhesion to the mold tool.

The following project was initiated by a major medical equipment company to use for the automated molding process on the Disposable Blood Pressure Monitor Cable. The design took 3 months to complete and receive approval. The build and de-bug took 6 months before the machine was producing 10,000 molded cable assemblies per day, 7 days a week. The system was completed and approved in mid 1995 and is still in operation.

Accumulator used to stage cable prior to molding operation.

The process uses a Battenfeld Molding Machine to mold 4 plugs per cycle.

A chiller unit is used to cool mold tooling during molding cycles and to cool the molded plugs before the cutting cycle.
