Machining Automation for Precision Hardware and Fasteners

Small parts, tight tolerances, large batches: the positioning accuracy of a servo tray is exactly what this kind of work needs.

In short

Precision Hardware & Fasteners, in short

How is CNC automation applied to fastener and hardware machining?

Precision hardware parts, fasteners, connectors, small shaft sleeves and irregular small parts come in small sizes and large quantities, so manual loading and unloading is extremely repetitive and hand picking risks damage. There is also a high risk of mixed parts, where one wrong part scraps a whole batch. The usual approach is drill & tap center tending, single-machine loading, vision-guided flexible feeding and storage and feeding; small parts place the highest demands on feeding and locating, so the parts are measured and the grip validated first.

Typical pain points in this industry

Parts are small and numerous, which makes manual loading extremely repetitive
