Automated Screw Feeders
Custom automation equipment has a history going back centuries. Today's modern factories use a host of automation equipment to build their products. This sort of robotic assembly line has its roots in human-based production techniques. As the centuries advanced and humankind continued to progress, the human assembly line was gradually replaced with mechanical parts that did the most menial, repetitive functions. This freed up humans to act as quality control officers and handle more detailed, intricate work.
In the early days of the Industrial Revolution, most automation equipment was very similar, as there were only a few products, such as Model T Ford cars, that used the assembly line manufacturing process. Today, however, all that has changed. Custom parts are what most businesses require. With literally tens of thousands of different products being produced and invented each day, cookie-cutter designs on such things as screw feeders, conveyor belts and parts handling cells just will not do anymore.
