At ACRO, we prioritize a flexible design and build process, delivering customized automation solutions with consistent quality. Our “Up Time, On Time, All the Time” approach ensures reliability, while our customer service and retool programs maximize equipment life and provide ongoing support.
01
An experienced staff leader examines the parts, and they are inspected for both functionality and fit.
02
After the equipment has been assembled, qualified team members plumb the fluid systems and wire the electrical components.
03
The project is reviewed weekly for progress.
04
A debug checklist is utilized to implement any debugging that must take place.
05
The client is continuously updated on the project’s status, as well as the results of ongoing internal testing.
The lead builder goes to
the client’s location to
support installation.
A final test is conducted to
ensure that the machine
operates as intended.
The client receives
technical documentation
for training.
ACRO remains committed to the highest standards of quality. From the initial design to the final commissioning for each piece of equipment, quality is a core objective in meeting and exceeding customers’ expectations. We incorporate many value based methods throughout our design and manufacturing phases including:
Weld quality is confirmed through cut and etch reports, inspected and measured per customers’ specification.
All robotic welding fixtures are measured with a CMM prior to the start of integration to minimize the time required to achieve dimensional quality.
Robotic applications are analyzed and thoroughly scrutinized with simulation software to verify factors such as reach, payload, and cycle time.
A consistent and proven project management process is utilized on every job. Issues, progress, and timelines are communicated regularly.
All machines and tools are modeled with SOLIDWORKS™ software.
Risk assessments are performed to our customer’s safety specifications to ensure compliance. PFMEA is utilized to help promote higher levels of reliability, as well as early identification and elimination of potential product/process failure modes.
Whether you have an issue with spare parts, a sensor not reading correctly, or program changes, our technicians will be there to assist you.
Whenever possible, ACRO will send a technician who was part of the same team that built and installed your equipment.
During the final stages of run-off, we provide crucial training to your key personnel at our facility. After the equipment has been proven safe and fully operational, our training helps you to build a confident team that keeps your system running optimally. Our team also provides training at your facility to ensure that your team can manage the new equipment or system without any issues.
Retooling and/or rebuilding equipment is a service that we can offer with efficient turnaround. This practice also reduces the need for our customers to invest in new equipment and machinery. Rebuilding or retooling enables manufacturers to rely on the same machinery for different products when they can no longer serve their original purpose.
The team at ACRO Automation can rebuild and retool equipment for your business. It is important to know that the two services are different. These are the primary characteristics that help to distinguish the two from each other:
Generally, retooling involves using a machine for its primary competencies, in order to accommodate a new design or product. Ultimately, anything that touches and interacts with a part might be made better. Retooling extends the longevity of older equipment. It also keeps it in operation until it must be rebuilt or replaced.
Machine rebuilding involves repairing and upgrading machines, and it often means replacing all components. When performed properly, rebuilding machines can lengthen their life. It can also increase their productivity overall. This makes an entire system more cost effective, as well as more efficient.
