Case Studies
 |
Baxter Research Medical CNC spring coiling was vertically integrated within a medical wire-reinforced catheter manufacturing area. Two turnkey coiling systems were provided to manufacture approximately thirty-five production parts. Complete Cassette Tooling and automated packaging were provided for the entire family of parts. |

 |
Donaldson Company An AIM CNC Coiling System was integrated within a large automated filter assembly line. Three springs were tooled, programmed and setup using cassette tooling. In addition to supporting production, additional springs are periodically made to support lower volume production. |
|
 |
Xerox Four custom machines were designed and built to produce auger coils used in toner cartridges. The coils were originally manufactured with a two piece construction requiring several secondary bend and fasten operations. The machines support high volume assembly lines. |

 |
Ebsco Spring AIM introduced the first CNC Coiler at Ebsco Spring. Productivity and part quality exceed expectations and continues to impress them. Feedback from the operator indicated that the controls software and programming are superior to other competitors equipment. |

Lucent Technologies A flat wire inductor coil was initially produced using a labor intense, costly method that involved blanking a piece coated strip, rolling the shape and tinning the ends. Through a development effort with our companies, the part is now produced complete, in one automated production process. Round insulated inductor wire is processed with stripped ends, body coiling and the legs bent at 90 degrees. The design telescopes on itself in the assembly to maximize the amount of wire within the inductor housing. |

 |
Neway Anchorlock An AIM Coiler was vertically integrated into a tractor trailer brake manufacturing facility in Monterey, Mexico. Several parts were setup using Cassette Tooling. The manufacturing system included a CNC Spring Coiler, powered wire dereeler, wire straightener and stress relief oven. |
|
 |
Tyden Seal An AIM Coiler was placed into production to support a high volume production line. An in line stress relief was developed for the application. The coiler has run continuously for over 10 years without a single service issue. |
|
 |
Adac Plastics AIM has supported Adac’s automated door handle assembly lines with tooling upgrades for the past five years. New stations and equipment are also provided to support new products, model changes and quality upgrades. |
|
 |
Liberty Spring Custom coiling equipment was developed for producing automotive torque coil springs. Several secondary operations required with a previously process to produce short outboard legs were eliminated. |
|
 |
Ideal Industries An automatic machine was designed and built for winding metal fish tapes used in the electrical industry. Labor intense manual winding equipment was eliminated providing a more productive and safe manufacturing environment. |
