Assembly Process

Altron delivers customized assembly solutions ranging from standalone stations and cells to fully integrated conveyor systems. We collaborate closely with our customers to strike the right balance between operator involvement and automation—ensuring safety, maximizing value-added tasks, and designing systems that are reliable, maintainable, and well-suited to the manufacturing environment.

Material handling

Efficient and precise material handling is critical to a seamless assembly process. At Altron, we utilize a variety of methods to move products through each stage of production, including robotic transfer, linear pneumatic and servo-driven slides, and rotary indexing dial tables. Our solutions also extend beyond assembly—finished goods can be transferred to final shipping locations using totes, racks, carts, or palletized dunnage, all integrated into the automation process for maximum efficiency.

joining & assembly process

Precision joining techniques are essential to reliable manufacturing. Our expertise includes a wide range of advanced methods such as safety-critical DC fastener driving, orbital and press/staking riveting, tube flare, as well as resistance and projection welding.

Product Testing

Zero-defect manufacturing starts with robust process control. At Altron, we integrate mechanical and controls-based poka-yokes directly into the assembly process to prevent defects at the source. We also offer end-of-line product testing tailored to each application, including evaluations for noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH), range of motion, force/effort, electrical function, and part presence.

Test data is used to verify product performance and drive quality improvements, with results fully compatible with your manufacturing execution system (MES) for traceability.

our methods

We utilize a variety of advanced components to support reliable assembly and testing processes. These include vision systems (cameras), lasers, probes, DC fastening tools, load cells, servo motion systems, industrial robots, conveyor lines, and rotary dial tables. Each element is selected and integrated to meet the specific needs of your application.

Tools Utilized

Altron uses a combination of handheld and fixed barcode scanners along with RFID technology to capture product-specific data throughout the assembly process. This allows for real-time tracking, process control, and seamless integration with testing and inspection systems.
