Design-to-manufacture process speeds after link
Two Cambridgeshire based companies, Prism Electronics and Cambridge Microelectronics (CME), have formed a link so they can speed up the design-to-manufacture process.
It has been designed for food and drinks manufacturing where the production trend is increasingly towards producing short runs of custom labelled and packaged products.
The device is used in cutting, coating and positioning processes on production lines.
It can reduce downtime significantly compared to traditional systems that require the reconfiguration of production lines between product changeovers.
Precision operation and alignment of the device during these processes is a key feature.
The ability of the linear actuator to position itself accurately relies on the precise alignment of two sensors on the electro-mechanical assembly.
Prism was awarded the contract because of its ability to produce these components accurately.
Prism produces two variations of electro-mechanical assembly which include high density circuit boards fitted with surface mounted components.
To ensure precise alignment the sensors are positioned by hand.
Delivery of the assemblies is integrated into Copley Motions' kanban production system.
Initial batches tested by the company were fault free.
"Accuracy of delivered product was our main consideration when sourcing a supplier to manufacture the electro-mechanical assemblies for our linear actuator," said Clive Thompson, production manager at Copley Motion Systems.
"Prism Electronics has demonstrated its ability to continually and reliably meet our manufacturing specifications.".
