<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So you’ve ordered a cost-effective custom machine or had an
automation company build out a manufacturing line for you. Perhaps you’re in
need of some CNC machining services and upon receiving your product, are
confused about the construction, or some of the technical aspects of any
related software. If the <strong>system
documentation</strong> provided is poorly written or incomplete, you’re forced to
call the company and waste precious time that could’ve been spent on growing
your business or completing work that needs to be done.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is System
Documentation?</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">System documentation is a collection of reference texts that
pertain to the operation and maintenance of a machine or software solution.
This is especially important in the automation and manufacturing fields where
the different parts and aspects of a machine must always be in harmony with one
another so that the machine runs as efficiently as it possibly can. Consider
that any downtime in a machine often equates to a loss of profit for businesses
as total output and efficiency take a hit—not only due to the machine being out
of commission but also due to the time and resources invested that are required
to fix it.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Virtues of Good
System Documentation</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">System documentation is one of those things wherein many cases, by the time it is being referenced, there are issues that need to be resolved with the maintenance or performance of the machine or software in question. This is why you so often hear tales of poor system documentation, because, at the time of obtaining the “solution” or machine, it was not readily needed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Good system documentation will detail many user case exceptions,
that is, what to do when a specific issue arises. System documentation for
machines will often include a list of components, what the components are made
up of and what are the best practices for maintaining part integrity over the
course of the machine’s lifetime. Typically, something called a bill of
materials is included with the product/documentation so that companies know exactly
what amount of labor went into the assembly of the product and the parts that
were required—this is often a good explanation for the invoiced amount that it
cost to produce the product.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most importantly—especially when involving complex
automation and machining, the system documentation should provide useful
diagrams and information such as what spare parts are provided. When it comes
to automation and machinery, the most critical part of maintenance is knowing
how to service and replace specific parts that are causing the entire line to
shut down or be less efficient.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Assembly Machine
Design South FL</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Automation Tech Support is a full-service tool engineering company.
We can design and build any type of assembly or manufacturing/equipment used

detailed bill of materials and documentation that outlines every component used
in the construction of the machine so that your maintenance department has all
the information they need to ensure that the product works well throughout its
lifetime. We also provide a spare parts list so you don’t end up wasting money on
a part you already paid for once.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 3D printing boom has resulted in a $6.063 billion
industry that is split amongst a wide variety of industries—one of those is of
course, manufacturing.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3D Printing Manufacturing Uses</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">3D printers are highly useful tools to prototype designs and
see them in real time very quickly. Imagine that you are a manufacturing
company selling a product and perhaps you&#8217;re new to the game and want to expand
out into some test markets first. 3D Printing can help you design and develop a
prototype to put out into a test phase to gauge market interest. It can do this
with less cost than when done through traditional manufacturing means. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a boon for b2b manufacturing businesses that handle
large scale production because customers who have tested their own prototypes
can be more confident about purchasing bulk orders and moving forward with
larger batch production. For many businesses, it&#8217;s having the confidence in
their product to go through with full assembly/automation which ends up being a
sticking point. 3D printing helps mitigate buyer&#8217;s remorse by allowing for a
quicker and less costly iterative process.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3D Printing is an Additive Process</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In traditional manufacturing, it is said that a subtractive
process is used. Raw materials are cut up and repurposed into a specific form through
processing. The leftover material is much like a piece of construction paper
that had shapes cut out of it. It is still useful material, but it must be broken
down and reintegrated back into a useful form. Naturally, in processes like
these there can be a substantial energy and time cost to recycling materials to
be useful again. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With 3D Printing, this isn&#8217;t the case. It is a highly
precise process in which whatever is designed is done so with a specific amount
of materials in mind. There is far little—if any at all, waste. Processing time
tends to be shorter as well. The downside to 3D Printing is that the printers
themselves can be expensive. Large 3D printers have a high initial start-up
cost, but the ROI is dramatically better for many industries depending on the
scale of the operation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A Greener Manufacturing Method</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Because of the outlined additive manufacturing method, 3D
printing is a greener practice with a smaller energy footprint. Many industries
that require precisely tuned, small parts are benefitting from 3D printing and
the environment benefits as well, as the reduced energy costs are trickling
down into lower carbon emissions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Full-Service Automation and Manufacturing in South FL</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Automation Tech Support is a leader in robotic automation
and manufacturing assembly services. We aid businesses with both small and
large-scale productions. 3D Printing has allowed many businesses to experiment
with prototypes and rapidly iterate through the creative process of making a
product worth bringing to market. However, if that&#8217;s all it took to manufacture
a product then there&#8217;d be no need for manufacturing experts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Automation Tech Support, we can build automation to run
your manufacturing line and our experts will monitor and control the quality of
the product to whatever your standards are. We can package and ship straight to
the end user or facility.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Get in touch with us through our <a href="http://automationtechsupport.com/contact-us/">contact</a> page so you
can start production on your vision right now!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly Lines have come a very long way; from Henry Ford to
artificial intelligence and machine learning, assembly automation has gone
through a transformative period over the last century. The assembly line is one
of the greatest advancements in technology and has radically changed the way
that many important things – such as cars, mechanical parts, computers, planes,
etc. – are made. The evolution of assembly automation is exciting and
interesting to see; we’ll take a brief look at the history of assembly lines
and what is on the horizon for future technologies. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">While Ford is often credited with the first automotive assembly line, a more fitting title would have to be “the father of mass-produced automobiles”. The first automotive assembly line actually came from Ransom Olds – the Oldsmobile brand – in 1901. This new manufacturing and assembly process allowed Olds’ output to increase by 500% in one year, with nearly 20 cars rolling off the line each day. For this time, this level of production was unheard of. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="784" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-1024x784.jpg" alt="Ford Model T " class="wp-image-538" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-1024x784.jpg 1024w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-300x230.jpg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-768x588.jpg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines-700x536.jpg 700w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/early-assembly-lines.jpg 1958w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Unfortunately for Olds, Henry Ford dramatically improved
upon this idea by utilizing a series of moving platforms, otherwise known as a
conveyor system. The vehicle was towed by a rope attached to the chassis of
each vehicle, which allowed workers at each station to quickly assemble the
parts they were responsible. This method allowed production of a Model T in about
90 minutes; during one of Ford’s best years using this method, about two
million automobiles rolled off of the assembly line. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The Importance of
Assembly Lines</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are a number of reasons why assembly lines are so
important and beneficial to society. For starters, before assembly lines,
workers were often tasked with the same, repetitive, and mundane task for hours
upon hours each day. This led to a large degree of worker dissatisfaction and
mental drudgery. From a manufacturer’s standpoint, the worker’s physical and
mental degradation inevitably leads to decreased work output and productivity. Worker
dissatisfaction led to innovations in the field, such as Olds’ and Ford’s
assembly lines, as well as the nearly fully-automated assembly lines we see
today. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This increase in technology, despite what many say, has actually led to an increase in the skill of plant workers and the number of jobs available in the sector. For example, the company Rethink Robotics designed a robot named Baxter, which is a low-cost and user-friendly machine capable of operating at $3 an hour and vastly improving efficiency and work productivity. Technology like this has led to the creation of 3-5 million new jobs and has allowed the U.S. to be about 3 times as efficient and productive as China. Workers are now, instead of being trained in short, repetitive, and mundane tasks, being trained in the complex operation, maintenance, and design of these sophisticated systems. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="672" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-1024x672.jpeg" alt="automotive assembly line " class="wp-image-539" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-1024x672.jpeg 1024w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-300x197.jpeg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-768x504.jpeg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/assembly-line-700x459.jpeg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>3d rendering of robot assembly line in car factory</figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Innovations in
Assembly Lines </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Artificial intelligence and machine learning continue to be
implemented into existing assembly system architecture to further improve upon
old technology. Machine learning is simply the study of models and algorithms
that can be implemented into computer systems; these algorithms attempt to
teach a machine a specific task with specific instructions; rather, the machine
must rely on inference and patterns instead. &nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Traditionally, each automated machine in an assembly line
has a specific instruction – or task – to be performed. Each machine must be
programmed for a specific instruction, such as drilling a hole, punching a
rivet, etc. With machine learning and artificial intelligence, the end result
of a task can be programmed, such as the size and depth of a drilled hole;
then, the machine will decide which drill-bit to use, how far to drill the
hole, and calculate the drill speed by itself. As we continue to move through
time, fully automated assembly lines will become more and more commonplace and
effective. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Machine design is the art and science of fabricating
mechanical engineering for new machinery and system development. Mechanical
design requires a thorough understanding of scientific principles, a creative
imagination, and sound engineering techniques to economically construct a
machine or structure that satisfies the unique needs and requirements of a
client. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For example, if an engineer decides to design a new engine
for a plane or car, there are a number of special considerations that must be measured
into the final end-product. There are a number of thoughts that go into the
design of new technology: </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How is the machine going to be used? </li><li>What loads will the machine be subjected to? </li><li>What temperatures will the material be exposed
to? </li><li>How can an old or existing model of the proposed
machine be improved upon? </li><li>What are the weight, size, and height
requirements? </li><li>What is the budget of the proposed item? </li><li>How long is the proposed life expectancy of the
machine?</li></ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Answering these questions can help guide the engineer when fabricating the machine. Certain materials are more flexible than others; certain materials can handle much higher loads and temperatures. This whole process of special consideration when developing a new machine is what we call machine design. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image"><img decoding="async" width="960" height="626" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/macro-1452987_960_720.jpg" alt="gears" class="wp-image-528" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/macro-1452987_960_720.jpg 960w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/macro-1452987_960_720-300x196.jpg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/macro-1452987_960_720-768x501.jpg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/macro-1452987_960_720-400x260.jpg 400w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/macro-1452987_960_720-700x456.jpg 700w" sizes="(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Considerations in
Machine Design </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The basic principles of machine design are easy to read, but
hard to master and apply. Mechanical behavior of a machine may include
considerations in the areas of fatigue, reliability, the strength required by
the materials, dynamics, statics, and the vibrations required of the machine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">How is the machine going to be produced? What are the
manufacturing processes that will be required? Computerized Numerical Control,
life cycle analysis, engineering statistics, ergonomics, and quality control
are all important factors when considering the production of a machine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The third and final area when considering the basic principles
of machine design relate to the mechanical elements that will go into the
machine. This can include bearings, couplings, seals, springs, fasteners, gears,
and so on… Each piece of the mechanical puzzle must be analyzed and designed to
prevent any and all possible malfunctions and potential failures due to weight
load limit etc. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Maintenance in Mind</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once a machine has been fabricated, built, and tested, the
machine will enter the operational phase of its life. An experienced mechanical
engineer will have thought about the next step in machine design: maintenance.
New technology can improve the overall work capacity and output, but if the
machine is next to impossible to repair efficiently and economically, then it
is doing no one any favors in the long run. Tooling will wear out, breakdowns
will occur, and maintenance is a necessary step in any and all machine
manufacturing processes; however, with the right design in place, maintenance
does not have to be a constant worry in the mind of the operator. This is why
we believe that you should always do it right, from the start. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Machine Design South
Florida </strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Building a machine that meets a customer’s expectation is a
given; an experienced machinist will easily be able to exceed the client’s
proposed product lifecycle. By using widely-available, reliable, commercial
components and a thorough maintenance manual and procedure, machine downtime
can be effectively cut in half. The end goal is reduced downtime, less scheduled
maintenance, and improved work capacity and efficiency without sacrificing the
safety of the operator or reliability of the machine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Advanced machines even have the capability of monitoring and
diagnosing the issues that develop within their own architecture to ensure a
steady and reliable flow of efficiency. Automation Tech Support believes that
maintenance should not be a reactive approach; rather, maintenance should be
performed at safe, regular intervals to ensure machine safety and reliability. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">At Automation Tech Support, we design machines that maximize the production mean time between maintenance and minimize the time that is needed to repair our machines. We are here to assist you with any fixture manufacturing, custom machining, or CNC machining services. From simple fixtures to full-on automated assembly systems, we are your go-to machine shop in South Florida. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly automation has allowed an increase in workload and
production output when compared to manual processes. The manufacturing industry
is especially labor-intensive; the use of automation, assembly lines, and
machining has resulted in improved efficiency, better product duplication,
decreased worker stress levels, and savings in labor, costs, and unneeded
material waste. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Assembly automation – also known as assembly lines – is used by a countless number of industries to improve production times and reduce costs. The automobile industry uses automation extensively, with robots performing most of the duties that were originally done by hand; this includes spray painting, parts manufacturing, spot welding, and every process in-between. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>A History of Assembly
Lines</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Production lines started to take off during the first two decades of the 1900s. In 1913, Ford Motor Company began to use assembly lines in a newly built factory for their car manufacturing process. Before the assembly line, each car had to be made by a number of skilled/unskilled workers by hand. The production line cut the number of hours spent assembling a car from 12 to 3. Eventually, this number was cut down to one car every 1.5 hours. With business booming, it boosted Ford’s production rates, profits, and reputation. Ford was very altruistic, and offered his workers increased amounts of pay as well. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 1930s saw assembly line innovation from Japan, a nation
that was at the forefront of developing technology for use in assembly
automation. Japan introduced micro-switches, protective relays, and highly
accurate electrical timers to the assembly line. During the Second World War,
this technology was put to use in the production of aircraft, landing craft,
warships, tanks, fighter aircraft, and other military vehicles. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>The 1950s: A History
of Production Lines</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">After Japan’s surrender in 1945, the industrial rebuilding program – assisted by the United States – brought superior technology and assembly automation to the defeated nation. This technology spawned motor giants such as Toyota, Honda, and Nissan; high standards were soon coupled with realistic prices that could not be matched with other automobile companies in competing territories. This solidified Japan as an automobile giant, with their automobiles and goods being exported worldwide today. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The history of CNC machining developed in the 1940s and 1950s, with the first CNC machines relying heavily on the most common telecommunication data storage of the time; this technology was known as “perforated paper tape” or “punched tape”. This technology is now long-obsolete as data mediums transitioned from analog to digital computer processing in the 1950s-60s. The machines during the 1940s-50s followed the instructions of the specific points that were fed into the machine on punched tape. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first CNC Machine was said to belong to the Parsons
Corporation in Travers City, Michigan. This system used punched tape to produce
templates for helicopter blades. In 1942, John Parsons calculated airfoil
coordinates on an IBM 602A data multiplier and then fed the data points into a
Swiss jig borer. This was considered the first CNC machine as the system read
and produced manufactured goods based on preprogrammed information. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the 1960s, CNC machining began to make the switch
from analog technology to digital software and computer-controlled devices.
During the 1960s, relays and electronic tubes were replaced with transistors,
and integrated circuits replaced punched tape. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What Does CNC Stand
for in Machining? </strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Machines that operate with <strong>Computer Numerical Control</strong> are electro-mechanical devices used to manipulate machine shop tools using specific computer programming inputs. CNC machining is one of the most popular methods for generating prototypes from a digital software file. The other most popular method would have to be 3D printing technology, such as SLS/SLM, SLA, and FDM. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888-1024x768.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-508" width="545" height="409" srcset="http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888-300x225.jpg 300w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888-768x576.jpg 768w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888-800x600.jpg 800w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888-700x525.jpg 700w, http://automationtechsupport.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/pexels-photo-159888.jpg 2000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 545px) 100vw, 545px" /></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">CNC machining, in general, helps transform stock pieces of
materials (such as a brick of steel or plastic) into a finished product. CNC
relies on inputted computer data to instruct the machine how to cut the
prototype parts. By automating your machine tools, it rapidly improves shop
productivity and improves bottom line costs. Many materials can be used, but
the most common types of materials are brass, aluminum, copper, steel, wood,
foam, titanium, fiberglass, and various types of plastics such as
polypropylene. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What to Look for in a
CNC Machining Provider </strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Choosing a <a href="http://automationtechsupport.com/">reputable
machining and tool engineering company</a> is your first step when looking to
automate your assembly line or production line. Look for a strong track record
of experience, references, customer support, and short turn-around times. An
experienced company will be able to provide multiple references and examples of
their work without reservation. For any metal fabrication or machining
organization, there will be a host of important licensing considerations and
important regulatory facets that a machine shop should keep in mind. At
Automation Tech Services, we have a strong safety protocol and follow all relevant
federal regulations. There will be no delay in our high-quality service due to
procedural reasons. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Advantages of CNC
Machining</strong></h3>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There are many reasons as to why CNC machining is so
popular. Since the fabrication of the product is completely automated when the
CNC machine is in use, the operator faces less risk of injury and increases the
level of safety of the shop workers. CNC machining is cost-effective because it
reduces waste with increased accuracy, which minimizes losses and improves
profits. CNC machining is also incredibly fast when compared to hand-fashioning
a product, which results in increased workload and productivity. CNC machines
are also built with feature and failure detectors for internal quality
assurance, which cuts down on raw material use and increases efficiency. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The process of computer numerical control (CNC) machining combines heavy machinery and complex computer software to control the movements of factory tools and machinery to produce specific components. This manufacturing process allows automated control of various machining tools (lathes, drills, etc.) through the use of a computer to provide a precise machining solution that is vastly superior to manual control in terms of lucidity and productivity.</p>
<p>Generally, CNC machines employ a motorized maneuverable tool and a motorized platform to produce many different types of material. This can range from computer parts and aircraft components to wire-bending and wood-cutting machines. The application of this technology is far-reaching and the use of these types of systems has been steadily increasing in America’s manufacturing sector in the past two decades.</p>
<h2><strong>The Usefulness of CNC systems </strong></h2>
<p>CNC systems offer large computational potential and are controlled by a programming language known as G-Code. This language dictates the movement of the machinery and factory tools involved. A few of these elements include feed rate, coordination, drilling functions and speed of the machinery.</p>
<p>These instructions can be seen in the form of CAD (computer-aided design) files, which can be transmuted into a sequential program of machine control instructions. After the code is written, a machine can perform an automated task without a manual operator. By automating machine processes, CNC machining increases the speed of production, reduces labor costs, and cuts down on human error.</p>
<p>After the G-code is inputted, the computer can control the exact velocity and positioning of the tool it is equipped with; because of this, it is possible to produce complex three-dimensional shapes and products that would be incredibly difficult to fashion with manual machining or labor. Due to this precision, CNC machining is primarily used for materials that require a high level of precision in a repetitive fashion (think mass-produced furniture and computer components).</p>

<h2><strong>Common CNC Applications</strong></h2>
<p>There are a host of materials and applications that can be produced through the process of CNC machining. For example, water jet cutters can be completely automated to cut through very hard materials, such as metal and stone. High-pressure water, sometimes mixed with another agent, can cut through just about anything you can imagine. These machines are often used to cut materials that cannot handle the temperature of heat-intensive processes used by other CNC machines (such as plasma cutters and electric discharge machines). Many factory machine parts, aerospace materials, and industrial mining equipment are fashioned through the use of water jet cutters.  CNC systems and machines are wide-ranging and can include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Laser Cutters</li>
<li>Glass cutters</li>
<li>3D printers</li>
<li>Lathe machines</li>
<li>CNC mills</li>
<li>Wire-bending machines</li>
<li>Foam cutters</li>
<li>Wood routers</li>
</ul>
<p>These machines are capable of complicated cuts and drilling that can be made at various angles and levels on a work medium. As long as the machine is coded properly and safely, complex designs can be repeated over and over again.</p>
