What’s on Our Floor: The FANUC CRX Cobot
A part of what we pride ourselves at Midwest Engineered Systems is keeping up to speed on the latest technologies in automation. With that in mind, we’ve brought in one of FANUC’s latest collaborative robots from the CRX series of industrial robots.
Are your products ready for manufacturing?
Knowing exactly how tight tolerances need to be can go a long way in reducing production system costs. Over-specifying tolerances will move integrators from more cost-effective machines to expensive, highly-specialized equipment.
Celebrating Three Decades of Trustworthy Automation Integration
This month Midwest Engineered Systems is celebrating 30 years in the automation industry. MWES started in 1991 by Scott Woida, and has grown to be a leading provider of automation systems for a large cross-section of industries.
Losing production speed? Consider upgrading legacy systems!
Over the course of their lifetime, production line automation systems begin to lose efficiency. Replacing with a completely new system would definitely improve throughput and would bring the machine production tracking technology up to date.
See our medical vial filling machines in action!
This video from the firm shows our systems at work. Our automation systems are helping the company decrease virus testing times by increasing the production of collection transport systems. At one point in the video, COPAN specifically highlights our second-generation robotic vial filling cells and the 200,000-vial filling per week performance they achieve.
A Checklist for Automation RFQ Information Whitepaper
Putting together an RFQ or even earnestly exploring automation, is a job unto itself. It can be difficult to know what an automation integrator may need to start the process. Providing the right information helps develop a quote package.
Automates part infeed operation with robotic conveyor picking
There’s plenty of machine tending systems on the market, but how do the parts arrive to these systems? Chances are, there’s a large amount of manual labor being used to unload pallets and bins to feed them.
Get Universal Robot programming and integration on-site
MWES offers UR robot system service on-site to get the most out of your robotic arm without wasting months learning how to program them yourself.
Consolidating production processes with automation
Moving toward automating production facilities that have a few or more lines can be an overwhelming prospect. Each line may need upgrades. Judging which should receive more of the budget is a task that may not have a clear cut solution.
