Our Solutions

Custom Automation

Our custom automation solutions are designed to save you time and money, with the repeatability and traceability you need.

​

Robotics

Robotics are an economical way to update your assembly and machining processes. This means increased productivity, capital, and labor quality. Farris can integrate a robotic cell into your existing line or machining center.

​

Custom Test Stands

Verification. Repeatability. Quality. We know you want your product to be at it's best when you ship it. Whatever your specs are, we can build a test stand to help you meet them.

Robotic Assembly

This machine incorporates a dial table with multiple stations that orient parts, takes measurements with a vision camera, and tests the final assembly for functionality.

Ball Bearing Insertion

This​ system feeds 90 million ball bearings a year into plastic-injected molded parts to deliver a finished part every three seconds.

​

  • Vision Cameras

  • Servo Motors

  • Conveyors

  • Specialized Sorting System

Rear Hatch Assist

  • Scans vehicle to determine model.

  • Telescoping arm reaches in to lift hatch without damaging paint.

  • Area scanners protect operators.

Gearbox Tester

This machine allows each gearbox to be tested under real-world loads and end user requirements.

​

A drive motor acts as the engine while the two load motors act as the drive wheels.

​

A laser is used to detect access vibration that will be caused  improper assembly.

Robotic Sorting

​Up to four layers of randomly placed parts are picked up, oriented, and stacked in groups of five.​​

 

With ten million parts stacked per year, this machine reduced packaging and shipping costs for the end user.

Voltage and Leak Testing

This robotic cell uses a vision camera to find the randomly placed batteries on the conveyor. The rotary dial performs a quick voltage and leakage test before the robot picks it back up and places it in a tray.

Bolt Fastening

This machine works in tandem with our Stud Automation Machine, decreasing cycle time, eliminating ergonomic concerns, and increasing quality.​

​

  • Engine is lifted to the 8 DC nutrunners

  • Bolts are tightened simultaneously to create a properly sealed joint.

Stud Automation

Automation of this engine line reduced labor, eliminated ergonomic concerns, and saved 12.5 seconds per cycle.

​

  • Engine travels to machine station and is lifted to align with driver spindles

  • A laser sensor is used to verify alignment

  • Auto cycle begins, driving in eight studs simultaneously

  • Engine is lowered, while feeders are reloading
