Brochure and CD highlight custom designed systems for automated assembly ranging from simple semi-automated workstations to complete integrated assembly systems.
The equipment, which was designed, built and installed by ABP, resulted from an extensive concept review study to determine available technologies.
This was followed by the construction and testing of a prototype system utilising the selected machine vision solution.
Once the concept was approved production machines were designed and built, the first of which has been in service since 1999.
This proven technology is now commercially available to other manufacturers of MDIs.
