The design of the switch dictated that some of the contacts should be secured while the plunger assembly was depressed.
The remainder must be secured while plunger is extended.
Previously to the introduction of this machine an operator would secure some of the contacts in one press and the remainder in another.
The press supplied by Bespoke Machines cycles twice.
Between cycles the punches and contacts are automatically re-aligned and the plunger is actuated.
This press gives several benefits namely: a.
Elimination of the risk of repetitive strain injury ( RSI ).
b.
Consistency of product quality.
c.
Reduction of the labour content in the assembly process.
d.
Reduction of floor space required to perform the operation.
e.
Deskilling of the assembly process thus reducing the training period for new operators.
Bespoke Machines is a special purpose machine manufacturer specialising in assembly machines.
Many production processes do not lend themselves to the use of standard production machines.
Unique machine designs have to be developed for a process to benefit from the advantages of automation.
