Automate 2004

Automate is Australia's leading hi-tech manufacturing and process technology exhibition, visited by key executives from every sector of industry worldwide. The event is being held from 5th – 7th October at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and FlexLink will be displaying the latest developments to emerge from our Applied Technology Division at stand i13

FlexLink’s new generation printed circuit board platform offers high quality, reliable solutions for a wide range of handling requirements. These high throughput modules provide transport, product buffering/accumulation and a full range of handling and routing alternatives.

The modules have been designed to eliminate shafts and bellows in the existing production line by incorporating a dual motor, ESD-safe belt system. High speed, accuracy and reliability on all lifting functions are achieved via a servo-control package. The entire product range utilizes only three belt sizes, thereby simplifying spares and maintenance.

With an international network and more than 20 years experience in all aspects of printed circuit board handling applications, FlexLink is also able to provide expertise in project management, installation and commissioning as well as local service support. At AUTOMATE we invite you to find out how we can become your first choice for easier automation.

We look forward to seeing you at AUTOMATE 2004!

Cavco Machine Tool Rebuilding undergoes another expansion

Cavco's new 18,600 square foot facility, built for machinery rebuilding, will be completed this year in New Milford CT

(PRWEB) September 8, 2004 -- Cavco is planning to move into their new machine rebuilding facility by the end of this year. During the recession, the opportunity to buy right has left us completely outfitted for the expansion. The moving process will be done gradually so no production will be interrupted. Cavco plans to maintain two facilities for a period of time to ensure a trouble free move.

The new facility will be equipped to accommodate large machine tools, as well as tool room equipment. The 18,600 square foot steel building was manufactured by Steelway Corporation in Canada. It was designed to support three bridge cranes and a large jib crane. The total crane lifting capacity, in the new facility will be over 60 tons with high bay ceilings and an indoor loading dock. There will also be temperature controlled spindle and inspection rooms. Our employees are looking forward to air conditioning and an exercise room.
