Part Positioning
Even though part positioning can be challenging, doing it correctly is essential to the automated assembly system’s overall efficiency and speed. Setting or arranging a part in a predetermined position from an arbitrary position is referred to as “positioning” a part.
Servo Positioners
Indexers
Lifters
Stoppers & Locators
Turnover Devices
Part Holding
Any tool or system used to maintain a workpiece’s proper alignment and immobility throughout the machining process is referred to as part holding.
