- Fasteners and Simple Processes - Designed for high volume, simpler style parts,
the Tec-Flex system is well suited for low-number processes
per part or for a multitude of simple process parts.
Utilizing an X-Y servo table, an unlimited number of
positions can be achieved without the need for skilled
trades for a part or program change. An optional
conveyor and integrated auto-unload table frees the operator
from unloading completed parts, reducing labor
requirements. Additionally, the machine can be quickly
converted into a side-by-side configuration, allowing for
continuous part production with minimal or no time used for
part handling. Mechanical and electrical poka-yoke
checks prevent improper part loading, improving part quality
and reducing scrap rate. An excellent choice as an
alternative to multiple, single-use machines (like peg
welders).
- High-Process & Complex
Geometry - Designed for multiple processes or
more complicated parts, the Tec-Flex system excels when
processing larger parts, parts that require multiple
handlings or parts with complex geometries. Utilizing
robots, the system can act as a material handler, a welder
or other process finisher. One or more robots can be
integrated to handle the needs of a specific part while
maintaining the flexibility to adapt to future part
geometries and process requirements. As an option, a
second machine can be added to increase production or to add
more parts to its repertoire. Add an optional conveyor
to deliver finished goods back to the operator for packaging
or to transport to the next machine for processing.
The Super Module is a great choice for heavier, bulky parts
that may not be operator friendly or are ergonomically
challenging.

 Tec-Flex Solution- One for
All - Designed
to do it all, the Tec-Flex machine has all the great
features of our previous machines' designs
incorporated into one versatile, flexible system.
Attach fasteners in one half of the machine while MIG
welding in the other half, or press bushings into a part and
then weld it into another assembly in the next step. The
Tec-Flex provides the ability to switch processes in a
matter of minutes, not days. You can switch
from fastener welding one minute to staking the next.
The only limitation is your imagination. The Tec-Flex is the
best choice for handling programs that are greatly varied in
their part styles or processes and has maximum future
flexibility.
With any Tec-Flex system from
Tec-Option, you get these features:
- Flexible Equipment:
Multiple Value-Added Processes - Designed with the
ever-changing automobile market in mind, our machinery is
built to handle many different types of assembly
processes. Spot welding, MIG welding, fastener
welding, staking, bushing insertion, hole piercing, part
marking and sealant application are just some of the
processes that can be implemented for your program
requirements. No longer do you need to buy a dedicated
machine that will be obsolete when the program is
completed.
- Interchangeable
Tooling - Our patented, modular solution allows for
tool changeover in less than five minutes without requiring
a forklift or skilled trades. Switch from welding to
piercing or any other tooling application without stopping
production.
- Automated Process - Why pay for manual labor and slow production when
we can automate your assembly process? This allows you
to increase quality and production rates, and allows for
reassignment of labor assets.
- Efficient
System - Our machines are compact, reducing
the requirement for valuable production floor space.
Resistance welding is performed up to three times faster
than traditional robot techniques. Electric servo
positioning reduces plant air demands and the overall amount
of hardware required to perform a task. Side-by-side
stations allow for operator load/unload time to be buried in
the machine cycle, so the machine is always working for
you. Perform tooling changeover daily, weekly or at
the end of a program- your capital investment is ready for
the next task instead of the scrap pile!
- Extended Life -
With robust components and proven design concepts, our
solution is designed for years of service, not just for the
one program. Re-use your capital investment and save
money on concurrent programs or future ones. With its
flexibility, interchangeable tooling, automated processes
and efficiency, our solution will continue to perform well
beyond the initial payback period and continue to save
valuable resources in today's uncertain
economy.
