A 6-Position Shuttle Example
Handling Complex O-Ring Installations with AIS Custom 6-Position Shuttles
If you thought our 2-position shuttle improved O-ring installation efficiency, imagine handling parts that require O-rings installed at 6 different depths in a single process. This was exactly the challenge a manufacturer brought to us, and our engineers delivered a custom solution tailored to their unique production needs.
Using the ASP-1 O-ring installation machine as the foundation, our team designed a custom 6-position shuttle. This setup allows multiple O-rings to be installed accurately at different depths on complex parts, reducing handling errors and ensuring high-quality, consistent results.
It’s important to note: the 6-position shuttle isn’t a product for sale. It’s a demonstration of AIS’s expertise in designing custom O-ring installation solutions. From single-ring applications to complex multi-ring processes, AIS engineers create systems that combine precision, reliability, and flexibility, tailored to your specific parts.
Why Custom Shuttles Matter for Manufacturers
O-ring installation may seem simple, but even minor misalignments or missed installations can halt production, create defects, or increase scrap rates. By implementing custom shuttles, manufacturers can:
-
Save time: Using shuttles for complex O-ring installations reduces manual handling.
-
Increase accuracy: Each part receives precise O-ring placement for optimal performance.
-
Reduce downtime: Systems designed for your exact parts require fewer adjustments and minimize interruptions.
Custom Solutions for Every Production Line
Every manufacturing operation is unique. AIS doesn’t just sell machines—we engineer O-ring installation solutions to meet your production requirements. The 6-position shuttle showcases how our custom designs streamline processes, improve part quality, and boost efficiency.
No matter the complexity of your parts or O-ring installation challenges, AIS has the experience and engineering expertise to design a system that works for you.
