Since its launch in 2021, we’ve shifted 1000’s of our Impact Rated Roofing Bolt Drivers. But when it comes to the manufacturing side of things, there’s one repetitive process that’s been a bit of a bugbear at Armeg HQ – placing a small magnet into the head of every Roofing Bolt Driver, by hand.
So, with a little help from our Universal Robot Arm (UB5), our talented Apprentice Process Engineer, Oliver, set about designing and manufacturing a bespoke workstation and tooling including a magnet dispenser, circular collar and brass spring-loaded magnet placement tool to dispense, capture and place a small magnet inside each Roofing Bolt Driver automatically.
This one-of-a-kind piece of kit exemplifies our continued drive to improve manufacturing efficiencies by using our talented in-house team to find a solution to the problem. While the workstation and set up is in demo phase right now, once it’s finished and moved into the main production area, it’ll take good care of a repetitive process and allow #TeamArmeg to focus on other tasks (while breathing a collective sigh of relief).
