Orka Automation developed a modular, multi-station work-cell to streamline subassembly and ensure consistent quality control. The system supports both automated and operator-assisted workflows for high- and low-volume production.
Key Features
- Dual-mode operation: robotic or operator-assisted
- Rotary dial tables for ergonomic, simultaneous processing
- Integrated processes: heat staking, ultrasonic welding, curing, EOY testing, part marking
- Interchangeable fixtures for multiple part variants
OUTCOMES AND BENEFITS
- Successful Onshoring: Enabled domestic production, boosting supply chain resilience.
- Compact Efficiency: Maximized throughput in a minimal footprint.
- Flexible Throughput: Adapted to fluctuating demand with auto/semi-auto modes.
- Quality Assurance: EOY inspection and traceable marking ensured compliance and batch traceability
By partnering with Orka Automation, the manufacturer transitioned critical production to the U.S., achieving agility, quality, and strategic supply chain stability. This project reflects Orka’s commitment to delivering smart, scalable manufacturing solutions that drive long-term value.
