AIS Is Headed to the MAPP Benchmarking and Best Practices Conference 2026

September 29 to October 1, Indianapolis Downtown Marriott, Indianapolis, IN.  Come talk O-ring installation with a company that's been doing it since 1978.

See Our O-Ring Installation Machines Running Live!

Automated Industrial Systems will be at this year's Benchmarking and Best Practices Conference, and we're bringing the same question we always do: how much of your seal installation is still done by hand, and what is that actually costing you.

If any of this sounds familiar, we should talk:

  • Manual or semi-manual O-ring and seal installation eating up labor hours

  • Scrap rates that creep up and nobody can quite pin down why

  • Repetitive assembly tasks that burn out operators and turn into a staffing headache

  • You've thought about automation, but you don't have the engineering team to spec it out yourself

That last one is where AIS tends to earn its keep. We have a fully staffed engineering department in Erie, PA, and we build everything from hand tools and semi-automatic benchtop models to fully automated robotic cells. You don't need an in-house automation team. You need us to be yours for a few weeks.

What we're bringing:

This year we're showing our fully automated demo cell, now running a fiber optic verification sensor to confirm correct seal placement in real time, along with the ASP-1HD-AM and a demo ISP-1 unit. If you're curious what verified, hands-off installation actually looks like on the floor, this is the one to watch run.

ASP-1HDAM
External O-Ring Machine

Fast, precise seal installation on external grooves.

If your environment is a continuous-duty automated line where downtime is a production event, that's where the ASP-1 HD-AM was designed to live.

If your line is still installing external o-rings by hand, we should talk.

→ Learn more about the ASP-1HDAM o-ring machine

ISP Series
Internal O-Ring Machine

Easily install seals inside your parts.

ISP Series, Internal O-Ring Installation Precision placement inside bores and ports, the geometry that gives manual installation the most trouble.

The ISP series installs seals in tight internal features reliably and without damage, every cycle.

Automated System with
Verification Sensor

Automated System + Verification Sensor 

Fully automated o-ring installation with integrated verification sensor. The machine installs the seal and immediately confirms it's seated correctly.

Parts that don't pass can get diverted. Every cycle, inline, without adding operator burden.

→ Learn more about inspection stations

Let's Connect at the MAPP Benchmarking and Best Practices Conference 2026!

Want to lock in time before the floor gets busy? Let us know when you're free and we'll find you.

We're also doing something a little more delicious this year, off the show floor.

Ask us at the booth, or if you already know you want in, request a seat.

Want Consistent, Reliable O-Ring Install Performance?

AIS designs radial stretch–based O-ring installation systems that eliminate installation damage risk and deliver repeatable, high-yield performance. Whether you need standalone benchtop automation or full robotic integration, we engineer the process to help your seals actually seal.

Talk to AIS about a process-centric installation solution, not a guess.
