Eriez

Eriez Magnetics was founded in 1942 by O.F. Merwin, in Erie, PA and is now one of the world’s largest suppliers of magnetic tooling for use in manufacturing. Because of the broad base of applications the company is divided into different market segments. Metal Working is the market segment we specialize in and there are five (5) primary product groups in this segment:

Coolant Cleaners – which are used as a means of filtering metal particles out of machining coolants.

Chip and Parts Conveyors – which can be either belt over magnet designs or slider bed magnetic with no external moving parts.

Lift Magnets – which Eriez has a broad range of, from very small electro magnets for use in automation, to very large plate and bar lift magnets.

Vibratory Conveyors and Separators – these systems use magnetic vibratory drives to vibrate trays or screens for moving bulk material or separating it through a screen mesh.

Separation (Magnetic Traps and Grates) – these are static magnets which are placed in the path of process flows and catch any undesirable metallic particles.

If you’re in need of magnetic components for your manufacturing, consider Eriez

Arbor Automation

Arbor Automation was founded in 1996 by a Machine Builder in Jackson Michigan. The company initially designed the Wipcon product family (Work In Process CONveyor) a “best in class” pre-engineered pallet conveyor system with modules that would allow the design of custom flow paths and intellegent process flow management.

In 2001 Arbor Automation developed the LBP (Low Back Pressure) Product Family, a roller top chain which allows parts to touch and accumulate but without high amounts of pressure.

Arbor Automation ,with its “part in pallet” Wipcon series and its LBP Chain series of products considers itself experts in low impact part flow material handling. They will design and build complete custom conveyor configurations and integrate automation components and tooling, or assemble to a configuration and wire to J Boxes for others to integrate. Arbor Automation conveyors can be used in both Assembly Applications as well as in Metal Cutting lines.

So… if you need part flow automation, consider the company making a BIG IMPACT with Low Impact Automation…Arbor Automation

Epson Robots

The EPSON Factory Automation Division is one of the many product divisions within the multi-billion dollar Seiko Epson Corporation famous for our highly successful Printers, Scanners, Projectors and many other consumer and industrial products.

EPSON first came to the North and South American market back in 1984 as the EPSON Factory Automation group began to share its expertise in high precision small parts assembly with other manufacturers on a worldwide basis. Originally created to support internal automation needs, EPSON Robots quickly became popular in many of the top manufacturing sites throughout the world. Over the past nearly 20 years EPSON Robots have been distributed through a couple of different external sales organizations including most recently Seiko Instruments USA.

In 2001 EPSON America took over the sales, marketing and development activities previously handled by Seiko Instruments so as to offer a more focused global strategy for our EPSON Robots product line to help benefit the global manufacturing strategies put in place by many of the top worldwide manufacturers. Since coming to EPSON America and in just over a year during a particularly tough economic time, EPSON Robots has introduced a variety of new products including everything from new versions of our already popular PC based controls to our latest SCARA Robot offering the E2 SCARA Robots and even more new products are on there way shortly.
