Assembly and Test Automation
Nidec Drive Technology Corporation has developed a significant North American customer base within the Custom Assembly Automation and Test segment. Many of the projects undertaken by these machine builders are custom one-off applications with possible potential for duplication later on down the line – each project engineered and designed separately. The modularity in design of our servo grade planetary gear reducers offers exceptional versatility, variety, and availability for these types of custom engineered applications. Nidec DTC can usually support these projects out of our Kit Build Assembly Center in Glendale Heights IL – providing quick assembly of the series, frame size, and ratio that was specified by machine builder and documented the performance test results for each reducer prior to your commissioning of the system.
The wide variety of frame sizes and ratios are available for immediate delivery for our inline and select right-angle series which help solve any inertia matching issue within your turn-key project. For dial tables, we offer hollow-bore rotary products and planetary reducers with high torsional rigidity characteristics that are ideal for many indexing applications. If the indexing application has lower torque requirements, custom automation assembly houses often opt for the Nidec DTC STH Series instead of settling for some of the more traditional competitive servo or cam indexers that are overbuilt and overpriced given the requirements of the application.
Some examples where Nidec DTC has experience for motion control applications within these types of projects, among others; In-line or End-of-line Functional Testing, Automated Welding and Positioning Systems, Engineered Conveyor Systems, Material Transfer, Stacking, and Palletizing Systems.
Scalable, Modular Assembly Processes
In today’s fast-paced manufacturing environment, adaptability is key. Our scalable, modular assembly processes are designed to meet fluctuating production demands with ease — whether scaling up for high-volume output or scaling down for specialized production runs.
Semi-automated In-process Feeding
Semi-automated in-process feeding integrates both mechanical systems and manual labor to streamline key production stages. This approach encompasses raw material intake, grinding or particle size reduction, proportioning or batching, mixing, thermal processing (or pellet formation), packaging, warehousing, and loading.
Fastening, Joining and Plastics Welding
Nidec Drive Technology Gear Reducer Solutions are essential processes in a wide variety of industries, enabling the reliable integration of components for maximum efficiency and performance. These technologies are used to create strong, durable connections in products and systems, with a focus on reducing energy loss and optimizing mechanical performance.
Custom Automatic Guided Vehicles
Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) have long been utilized in manufacturing environments, but their adoption in logistics and warehousing is growing rapidly. As this market continues to expand, so does the demand for adaptable, high-performance drive solutions.
