Why choose AFS?
There are several excellent reasons to incorporate vibratory feeders and automation equipment into your company. Today’s competitive market demands higher production rates, greater efficiency, and higher quality assurance at a decreased cost to the company. This becomes many manufacturer’s number one problem in today’s world.
Higher Production Rate
Feeder bowls are machines and are proven to be faster than humans at a given task. By removing the human element from the production equation one can eliminate the need for many assemblers manually doing the same job. The automated system will achieve a higher production rate with fewer employees.
Increased Efficiency
Feeder bowls are designed to feed a specified number of parts per minute. They are able to do this 24hours a day, every day of the year. In the usual manufacturing plant, there is one operator per machine, either assembling, testing, boxing, or counting finished products. With the feeder bowl application in place, one operator can watch two or more machines do production. This increased efficiency per employee results in less cost per part produced.
Higher Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance (QA) is now an important part of the manufacturing workplace. To produce a better product at a reduced price, companies must continually work to improve QA. Vibratory feeder bowls aid in this process and can increase QA further when placed in an inspection station utilizing a vision system. The system can inspect the parts with the precise orientation the customer requires. Improving QA cannot only benefit the customer with better products, but also the manufacturer, with less flawed products creating a name of excellence in the marketplace, and a resulting boost in clientele.
