ROBOTICS SYSTEMS INTEGRATION

U.S. manufacturers are searching for ways to remain competitive and lower costs in their respective markets. Setpoint offers automated solutions that integrate robots into custom automation equipment. As an authorized FANUC robotics integrator, Setpoint has successfully integrated single and multiple large- and small-scale robots. Due to the diverse nature of robots, integration in a variety of areas is made possible.

LEAN MANUFACTURING AND SYSTEMS

Incorporating lean automation functionality is the standard practice on projects by Setpoint. Our engineers design machines knowing there will be defective parts that need to be rejected prior to the next test, inspection or assembly process. Before parts are ever introduced into the process, they can be checked for the right color, orientation, and size. If they don’t pass, they are not allowed onto the machine. If during the process a part is found to be defective, the work-in-progress software will track the specific part and ensure the bad part is confined to a non-compliant materials box.

AMMUNITION

Setpoint’s unique position in this antiquated industry is developing lean manufacturing practices that facilitate quick changeover between calibers, helping you respond to your customer’s changing requirements. Our machines are the only systems using computer technology and servo actuated presses in this industry.
