Frost-Free Valve Stem Automated Assembly System
A manufacturer of frost-free valves (specialty hose bibs engineered for performance in low-temperature climates) required an automated system to manufacture a unique stem assembly. Creative Automation’s solution precisely assembled the required components with much higher throughput than was possible with the previous manual process.
The Challenge: Precision Automated Assembly and Increased Throughput
The manufacturer’s unique frost-free valve products required precise assembly to ensure leak-free, reliable performance in extremely low-temperature environments. Simultaneously, the client wanted a streamlined automated process that could assemble substantially more products while reducing their overall labor requirements.
The Solution: Custom Automated Assembly System for Tubing, Seals, and Stems
Creative Automation designed and fabricated a special purpose automated system to assemble pre-cut lengths of copper tubing to seals and stems. Precision was maintained and production capacity increased: the entire system functions without operator attention and mass produces assemblies at a rate of 30 products/minute.
