Minster Integrated Automation
Minster Automation provides integrated automation solutions for those companies seeking to decrease the costs of and add value to their production. "From Soup to Nuts" is a popular phrase when describing our total systems packages that can address the handling of the initial coiled material, the packaging of the finished part, and every aspect in between.
By combining our engineering talents, substantial experience in machine control software development, and world class equipment design and manufacturing capabilities, Minster Automation has the capacity to take complete project responsibility from concept development to full production.
Minster Automation systems are offered with our Production Managment Control (PMC) providing the advantage of seamless integration and reduced complexity between our presses, coil handling systems and any other surrounding peripherals provided by Minster.
Features
Blank Loading and Unloading
Commercial robots and intelligent servo-based actuator technologies are specifically designed to present blanks into and/or retrieve finished blanks out of the die space.
In being able to offer our customers a complete solution, Minster can also provide stacking and de-stacking capabilities complete with automatic pallet exchange. Stack height repeatability and blank orientation can be realized through vision systems.
Post-Op Part Handling
(Stack 'em and Pack 'em)
Commercial robots and intelligent servo-based actuator technologies are specifically designed to allow finished parts to be automatically off-loaded from the stamping operation onto pallets or into bins.
Automated pallet conveying systems are also available for a completely hands-free operation, thus maximizing efficiency and throughput.
Scrap Removal
Minster is able to provide a customized scrap removal solution that can not only effectively move scrap from the work center, but can also direct it within a facility to its final destination.
A process lubricant collection, filtration and recirculation system can be incorporated with any scrap removal system.
