Capabilities

GLASi has the capability and staff to design and build semi automated or fully automated assembly and test systems.
Our capabilities include but are not limited to:

AMi Products

The AMi brand product line consists of 3 standard cam driven rotary dial machines referred to as the; AMi/1, AMi/2, and the AMi/4. Each machine utilizes standard off the shelf tooling for pick and place, probe, orient, shuttle and lift just to name a few. These tooling packages are interchangeable between the 3 chassis´. Cycle rates range from 10cpm to 70cpm depending on the application. The AMi product line has been in existence since 1973. There are over 800 machines in the field. The AMi assembly machine never becomes obsolete. There have been hundreds of machines retooled because of product design changes or machines have been completely rebuilt for a brand new product.

Custom Rotary Dials

We have the capability to custom design and build rotary dials to fit our customers specific needs. From 4 stations to 32 stations, with dial diameter´s ranging from 12" to 60".

Lean Cells

We have designed and built various types of lean cells to aid the operator in assembly and test of components. Typically the Lean Cells are used for low volume products with a high mix of product variations. All systems designed incorporate poka yoke to insure parts are placed correctly and in the proper orientation.

Linear Systems

Custom designed linear systems consist of pallet based, non synchronous power and free, precision link, indexing conveyors and walking beams.

Vision Inspection

We are a certified integrator of Cognex and DVT Vision Systems. These camera systems have been integrated as part of fully automated assembly lines or stand alone inspection modules.

Test Modules

Every system we design and build includes some form of testing and verification. Over the years we have integrated leak testing, function testing and electrical testing and thread inspection just to name a few.

Robot Integration

Robots have been integrated for material handling, assembling components, remove components from mold machines and automatically load mold machines for insert molding process.

Build to Print

Quite often our customers have equipment that has been pre engineered and built and require a duplicate machine to be built. Our reputation for quality and service has provided us with many opportunities to build duplicate systems.

Service/Rebuild/Parts

Service is what our customers expect and require to remain competitive in their respective markets. At GLASi we are on call 24 hours, 7 days a week. Our highly skilled mechanical and electrical technicians have over 125 years combined experience in service and repair of automated assembly and test equipment. We service not only what we sell but we also service equipment which may have been built by someone else. We are proud of our record. Our reputation for quality and follow-up service is unchallenged in the industry.

Service, machine retools and spare parts are provided for the following types of equipment; Linear Systems, Rotary Dials, Test Modules, Lean Cells

Engineering and Project Management

Your automation equipment will be designed by our experienced mechanical engineers using the latest version of Solidworks 3D mechanical design software. Our Electrical engineering department is continually being trained and upgraded on the latest PLC´s, PC´s, data acquisition, hardware and vision systems.

A Project Manager will be assigned and be your main contact throughout the entirety of your project. We utilize project management software to track the project schedule, costs and performance. Our project management system ensures that your project is delivered on time and meets all of your specifications.

Contract Manufacturing

GLASi will design, build, operate and maintain a piece of automated equipment and deliver the final product to our customer´s end user.

Packaging and Kitting Division

Our new packaging and kitting division is geared toward supplying goods to the government and prime contractors to the government. In the summer of 2008 we will expand our packaging and kitting services to include RFID and bar code labeling. As an established manufacturer of automated assembly and inspection equipment, GLASi can help you meet government mandated goals for Service Related Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business contracts as well as the new generation 3 tagging specifications. Centrally located to many DOD receiving facilities, GLASi will be fully compliant with Mil-l-STD 2073-1D, Mil-STD 130 and RFID requirements. Cage Code # 45RG9
