Wes-Tech is a leader in totally integrated manufacturing systems. With the technology to interlink multiple manufacturing cells with non-synchronous conveyors, Wes-Tech’s innovative and fully automated manufacturing systems allow easy integration of all elements of the manufacturing process, including parts loading/unloading, pallet washing stations, and parts gauging and testing. Each manufacturing system is designed for the specific customer application.
The Wes-Tech Flexible Manufacturing Systems (FMS) are intended for manufacturing factories that require the ability to perform multiple machining operations for an increasing variety of component parts as part of their continuous production flow. Such systems offer several distinct advantages that allow manufacturers to make-to-order as opposed to make-to-plan:
- Automated routing and machine loading and unloading of different types of parts.
- Quick or zero-time changeovers for lot size of one.
- Integrated component part inspection and process capability measurement.
- Continuous production flow.
The Wes-Tech modular building blocks include turning and machining center loaders, pallet washers, grippers, and the Tech-Trak®, non-synchronous conveyor system. The inherent modularity of the Wes-Tech systems provide the flexibility to meet our customers’ evolving needs.
Working from an extensive library of proven solutions, Wes-Tech is able to transform almost any manufacturing process into a reliable and unattended cell which requires only periodic loading of raw parts or stock onto a storage and transport system.
Starting with either a new or existing machining center, lathe, or grinder, the Wes-Tech cell concept offers a variety of parts presentation possibilities, including pallets, feeder bowls, magazines, conveyors and ergonomic work tables and stations.
- Loaders and conveyors combined with pallet washers and vertical storage buffers allow Wes-Tech to solve unique automation problems without the time and risk associated with designing modules from scratch.
- Wes-Tech’s line of turning and machining center loaders provide state-of-the-art loading solutions and adapt easily to most lathes, grinders, and machining centers.
- The Tech-Trak®, modular conveyor offers unparalleled versatility and a rugged reliability which has been field-proven in a broad variety of applications.
