Increasing product throughput is essential in every manufacturing facility. The challenge for the Staple Forming and Loading equipment was to boost the production rate while maintaining compact equipment dimensions.

This system, consisting of two primary stations—staple forming and cartridge loading—exemplifies the synergy of innovation and creativity. By incorporating a second set of safety components, the staple forming station can operate continuously, allowing the operator to load empty cartridges and unload filled ones without interruption. This straightforward yet effective solution resulted in a consistent 30% increase in the equipment’s production rate.

A servo-driven wire feeding mechanism ensures a consistent and steady flow of raw material to the staple forming head. Additionally, a high-accuracy servo-driven X-Y stage guarantees precise loading of formed staples into the cartridge, while a high-resolution vision system verifies that the cartridge is loaded completely and meets all requirements.
