Application Engineers Experienced application engineers evaluate each project. Based on their extensive process expertise, they evaluate each application, and then concept and quote the best system to meet each customer's automation needs. This may be a standard solution or a completely unique custom system. Our application engineers have the process expertise and knowledge to apply highly advanced technology in innovative ways to solve customer's toughest automation challenges. Application Engineers and specialists also do simultaneous engineering for many customers to allow them to reduce both product and system cost. Project Management A Project Manager is assigned to every project. The Project Manager coordinates all details of a project to ensure that all needs and resources are balanced to meet the customer's schedule, delivery and budget requirements. Our goal is always total customer satisfaction. Scheduling, design reviews, approvals, engineering change orders, etc. are all coordinated through the Project Manager. Our customers can be assured that we have procedures in place to make sure projects are well-organized and executed to the highest level of performance. The efforts of the Engineering Team, Manufacturing, and programmers are all coordinated through the Project Manager. Mechanical Engineering R and D Industries Unlimited has Mechanical Engineers who are responsible for design, build, and implementation of all of the mechanical functions related to a system. This includes overall layout, pneumatics, grippers, process equipment (excluding vision), and the mechanical aspects of safety. R and D Industries Unlimited Mechanical Engineers will often use AutoCad or 3-D modeling software to perform reach studies and cycle time checks, and confirm cell layout prior to final approval and build. R and D Industries Unlimited utilizes state-of-the-art simulation tools to aid in the concept and design of robotic automation solutions. To reduce project risk, simulation software is used to verify system form, fit, function, throughput, and ergonomics prior to project execution. Electrical Engineering R and D Industries Unlimited Electrical Engineers are responsible for systems integration from an electrical hardware design standpoint. This includes all electrical functions, electrical design, layouts, cable routing. Electrical engineers also do the remaining aspects of safety that are not the responsibility of the mechanical engineer. Any vision system integration is also the responsibility of the electrical engineer. Controls Engineering R and D Industries Unlimited Controls Engineers are responsible for all aspects of integration from a software standpoint. They integrate the robot systems with PCs or PLCs, line controllers, etc. and design custom Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs). Controls engineers do all the PLC programming, concurrent I/O programming, and I/O handshaking required to integrate the various equipment into a system All material on this site Copyrighted © 2006 - 2008 R and D Industries Unlimited |
