Automation
The Automation initiative at Airline is really an involvement by us in the
first 70% of your automation project. Airline is not a systems integrator. Rather, we are
a component integrator. We partner with our automation customers to provide:
- Machine Bases and Framing
- Servo and Stepper motor Motion Control
- Pneumatic Sequence Control and Motion Control
- PLC Sequence Control
- Sensor Control
- Feeding Technology
- Conveying Technology
|
Following are examples of Automation Projects:
A recent project was to build and test of a semi-automatic assembly line conforming to their written specifications. The equipment used was the Bosch TSplus family of modular components. This conveyor handled pallets 480 mm x 480 mm, traveling at 12 meters per minute, in a rectangular conveyor configuration. (Sometimes, we don't get to know what our machine is actually doing.)

Each of the above machines are a result of a partnership between Airline and a Systems
Integrator or End User. Airline provided Framing, Motion Control, Pneumatics, PLCs and the
Integrator or End User provided the tooling necessary to make the Machine Functional.
