Consolidate & Slice Equipment
Manufactured to drawings supplied
R.M.S have recently completed the manufacture of this consolidate and slice unit for a rubber belt manufacturing company.
Projects
Pick & Place of Pug rolls 1
R.M.S were recently contacted by a local pot bank to investigate the possibility of manufacturing a machine that would illuminate a manual handling operation.
This operation consisted of an operator manually cutting and stacking pug rolls (sausages of extruded clay) of various sizes onto a table.
R.M.S designed, manufactured, and installed a complete turnkey solution that stood in front of the current extruder and automatically cut and stacked the pug rolls onto the existing tables.
The finished design of the machine is capable of stacking 7 different diameters of clay, as well as the ability to stack clay that is extruded in singles.. or even triples! 👏
Assembly Equipment
Poka-yoke assembly equipment, designed and manufactured by R.M.S (STOKE) LTD.
By using this simple mistake-proof technique, the part is clamped at the start of the operation and will not release until it is built. By using visual and physical aspects the operator can identify exactly where the parts need to be fitted to the fixture.
Poka-Yoke Assembly Table
R.M.S have recently completed the design and manufacture of a second Poka-Yoke assembly table for an automotive manufacturing facility based in Czech.
Preparation Table for the Automotive Sector
Problem Faced by the customer:
R.M.S (STOKE) LTD, were contacted by a recent customer to supply and manufacture a bespoke preparation table for the automotive sector.
The customer supplied full detailed drawings with a specification of how they would like the equipment to work.
The equipment would be used to build a steering link in a step by step process with Poka-Yoke mechanisms to help prevent mistakes from the operator.
RMS were required to:
- Manufacture all individual items.
- Purchase all brought in items.
- Design and manufacture the electrical control panels.
- Wire the equipment as requested by the customer.
- Develop a programme which enables Poka-yoke mechanisms, to give step by step instructions to the operator and flag any mistakes.
The equipment was completed at RMS and tests and trials were carried out on-site before delivering to the customer.
Cascade Manipulator
Problem Faced by the customer:
R.M.S (STOKE) LTD, were contacted by a long-term customer who was seeking a solution to carry out material handling for a manufacturing process.
The equipment would be required to lift a safe load of 8 tonne, whilst being able to turn 360 degrees on a horizontal and vertical axis.
The equipment would be used to manipulate large steel structures whilst welding was being carried out.
R.M.S manufactured a bespoke Manipulator to carry out the process. Our specialist design team, consisting of mechanical/electrical design engineers, created a state-of-the-art machine which would allow for faster turnaround of products in a safe environment.
Working with our local stakeholders to develop individual items that would not be available off the shelf, R.M.S completed the build of the astonishing 17 tonne (total weight when built) manipulator within 16 weeks.
Once completed, tests and trials were carried out at R.M.S before shipping and installing On-site.
