Turnkey Automation Solutions
Bring surface treatment or deflashing into a complete production cell. FTS combines its process equipment with robotics, custom tooling, and controls to develop an automated solution around your application.
Systems built around your application
FTS develops automated systems that bring the treatment or deflashing process, part handling, and controls together. The solution is designed around the component and its production requirements, combining FTS process equipment with robotics, custom tooling, and programmable logic controller (PLC) controls.
The project scope can include design, manufacture, integration, and installation. Equipment layout and operation are developed with attention to part access, tooling changes, operator use, and maintenance. The arrangement and integration requirements are defined for each project.
Elements of a turnkey solution
- Flame treatment or deflashing equipment selected for the application.
- Robotic motion and custom tooling to position parts and burners.
- PLC controls to coordinate the process and equipment operation.
- System design, manufacture, integration, and installation within the agreed project scope.
