Automated Machining Systems – Merrill E&I

Precision Machining Systems

Friction welding, milling, and ID pin stamping 60 heavy equipment axles per hour. Chamfering and gauging 1,200 automotive wrist pins per hour. A four-station system to face mill and deburr 327 torque converter drive lugs per hour. All fully automated. They’re just a few of the machining challenges we’ve met.

We can help you automate any metal-removal operation, including:

• Vertical turning
• Horizontal turning
• Milling
• ID grinding
• OD grinding
• Surface grinding
• Deburring
• Polishing

Each of these operations can be integrated with assembly, testing and gauging and welding, as part of lean cells or fully automated lines. Each system is designed specifically for your needs, including:

• Designing and building custom systems
• Creating or updating software, controls or drive systems
• Integrating new equipment from the world’s leading machine builders, including our own line of turning systems
• Remanufacturing, retooling or integrating existing equipment

Because we provide complete process development, all of our machining equipment can be tooled and proven statistically capable before the system is delivered and installed.
