Repeat Customer Purchases new fully automated NF Swager
Objectives & Background:
A repeat customer approached FENN looking for a solution to increase their production of hypodermic needles for medical applications with the purchase of a new machine.
The customer was working with a manual feed swager, but realized their production volume, part consistency, and part quality were not meeting their expectations and specifications.
To meet production quotas, the customer decided to purchase a fully automated feed unit.
The customer required a swager with capabilities to run 23-27 (.025”-.016”) gauge hypodermic needles.
FENN’s Solution:
FENN’s experts engineered a new design to make a fully automated solution.
With the customer’s production requirements in mind, FENN designed a machine capable of producing higher amounts of hypodermic needles with more accuracy.
For maximum productivity and minimum changeover time, FENN designed this feeder with automatic feeding capabilities, collection bins, and an easy die changeover process.
The latest FENN software was implemented into a new B&R touchscreen display for a user-friendly operator interface.
Value to Customer:
The customer received a new NF Automated Swager.
The machine increased the customer’s productivity, minimized operator involvement, and reduced downstream costs.
New production volume of up to 300 pcs/hour
The B&R software and touchscreen control system are state-of-the-art technology but still utilize easy to maneuver screens – making training easy for operators.
The NF Automated Swager comes complete with FENN’s guarantee; a one-year warranty, training, and the ability to purchase spare parts if needed.
