Reusable assets for both current and future projects.

• The modular assembly system offers the advantage of an extended product life.
• The tool module also has an extended life as it can be updated for new projects.
• One modular platform, the "Tec-Flex" does it all- add options as needed.

Run multiple tools in a single machine.

• With today's production volumes, typical customers are running three or more tool modules in a single machine.
• Flexibility includes spot, projection and MIG welding, staking, bushing insertion, hole piercing, part marking and sealant application.
• Engineering changes can be incorporated offline while running another tool module. This allows you to keep earning a profit with the modular machine while the change is being incorporated on another tool module.
• Service parts can be efficiently manufactured and effectively managed.

Capable of running multiple parts in one tool module.

• This advantage allows you to amortize the investment over multiple part numbers.

Change-over in less than five minutes by an operator.

• A machine operator with a tool module cart can easily complete a change-over.  This is a safer and more efficient means of completing a change-over.
• The modular system allows the operator to connect the weld circuit, electrical, pneumatics, poka-yokes, water, and call up the weld schedule with one push of a button.
• No tools or forklift required for a tool change-over.

Built to your component parts standards.

• This ability helps to minimize your investment in spare parts inventory.

Compact Footprint

• Increased manufacturing capability with less floor space.

Value added options available:

• One, two, or three welding transformers can be ordered initially - transformers can be added later as well. This allows you to order the machine for today's needs and adapt to future needs.
• Can be ordered for either AC or DC welding.
• Multiple axes available using pneumatic or highly accurate servo drives to move weld guns or the part - whatever provides the most efficient solution.
• Auto unload systems to chutes or conveyor. Load times can be buried with two stations next to each other. This is a practical way to maximize your labor dollar.
• Rotary Dial is available to facilitate load / unload while making parts.  This offers a cycle time advantage while still operating within the compact footprint of the tool module.

Modular Systems can be ordered with robotic applications to facilitate higher volume requirements for multi-plane weld points.

• Faster than a robot alone, more flexible than a dedicated machine. Typically capable of making welds at one second per weld versus four seconds per weld for a robot alone.
• Robot to facilitate the assembly process can be ordered as a material handler, a sealant applicator, a MIG welder or a resistance welder. If more than one process is needed, end-of-arm tooling can be made interchangeable for more flexibility.
