Accu-Assembly Inc., a leading industrial automation company, is excited to announce its first exhibition with Kurt Whitlock Associates, its new representative for Florida, at the upcoming SMTA Space Coast Expo & Tech Forum. The event will be held on Thursday, November 14, 2024 in Melbourne, Florida, providing a unique opportunity for attendees to experience Accu-Assembly’s cutting-edge component storage solutions designed to optimize manufacturing efficiency and accuracy.
Visitors to the expo will have the opportunity to explore Assembly’s advanced storage systems, including the AccuLiFT™ automated component reel storage tower and the AccuCart™ smart rack component reel storage system. Both solutions are engineered to streamline and enhance the management of SMT component reels, offering greater operational efficiency and precision for modern manufacturing environments.
AccuLiFT™: A Revolutionary Vertical Lift Module (VLM)
The AccuLiFT™ is an innovative VLM specifically designed for storing SMT component reels. This space-saving system can reach heights of up to 16.8 feet (5.1 meters) and holds up to 8,000 small reels (7-inch diameter), making it ideal for maximizing storage capacity without requiring additional floor space.
Key features of the AccuLiFT™ include:
- Flexible Storage Configuration: The patented pallet system enables quick reconfiguration to store different reel sizes and tape thicknesses, allowing easy adaptation to evolving storage needs.
- Automated Loading and Unloading: Equipped with a purpose-built robot, the AccuLiFT™ minimizes manual labor, making reel handling more efficient and reducing operational bottlenecks.
- Made in the USA: Proudly designed and manufactured in the United States, the AccuLiFT™ offers robust quality and reliability for industrial use.
AccuCart™: The Smart Rack Storage System
The AccuCart™ smart rack system is designed to simplify SMT component reel management with intelligent storage features. LED indicators guide operators to locate reels quickly, while a patented opto-mechanical switch detects reel placement or removal with one-handed ease, improving workflow efficiency.
Key features of the AccuCart™ include:
- Adjustable Slot Width: AccuCart™ shelves can be reconfigured to hold reels of varying widths, offering flexibility for diverse production requirements.
- Multiple Configurations: Available in both stationary and mobile units, the AccuCart™ adapts to different operational settings, from line-side storage to centralized inventory.
Both AccuLiFT™ and AccuCart™ operate with a unified database, enabling seamless integration and real-time inventory tracking. This shared system supports Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery, essential for maintaining efficiency in high-demand manufacturing environments.
“We’re excited to exhibit at the SMTA Space Coast Expo alongside Kurt Whitlock Associates,” said Michael Kou, Owner of Accu-Assembly. “With their expertise and our advanced storage solutions, we will demonstrate how manufacturers can streamline their SMT reel management and improve operational efficiency.”
Attendees are encouraged to visit the Kurt Whitlock Associates booth at the SMTA Space Coast Expo to learn more about how these innovative systems can enhance their manufacturing processes.
