Introduction Why are Innovations in Tube Set Manufacturing Important? Complicating the expected growth in demand in tube set markets, many suppliers are also experiencing a labor shortage due to the high operator counts (typically 150-200+ workers per shift to output at needed rates) and intense dexterity demands required of manual tube set assembly. In Mexico,

Flexible manufacturing platform Being built on the SuperTrak GEN3™ conveyance platform means that system modification and expansion is much simpler and cost effective. For example, should space be required to add additional tooling in order to manufacture a new product variant or increase capacity, the SuperTrak GEN3™ conveyance platform can be expanded by adding 1-meter

What to Do Before a Product Design is Locked Down Engineers know the frustration of designing a manufacturing process that is difficult to scale up or automate. Let’s say benchtop equipment was built to test an assembly process with equipment running at a slower rate to support manual loading, and the controller and servos were
