Freeway leads the industry in high speed automated assembly equipment. We incorporate camera technology (vision systems) and mistake proofing stations to verify the assembly. Best of all, because we design and build this equipment in-house, we’ve managed to save our customers hundreds of thousands of dollars in upfront assembly equipment costs.
Need a Freeway washer, stamping, or machined part attached to your product? Freeway welcomes customer supplied products as part of the assembly process. Ask Freeway to evaluate all your assembly needs (and ask us early in your product design process). Chances are excellent we’ll be able to suggest how you can save time and money, while improving performance.
Assembly capabilities include, but are not limited to the below:
Swaging and Staking – The fact that no extra material or fastening components are required makes these two of the most economical assembly methods available. Base metal is moved and shaped in a variety of ways to permanently connect two or more parts. This process successfully eliminates more expensive brazing/welding operations.
Riveting – Automated riveting is another assembly technique used by Freeway. It is a valuable method for joining unlike metals, as well as metallics to non-metallics. Our sophisticated riveting equipment utilizes component parts economically, while our automated equipment maintains the highest degree of quality
Welding – Automated welding is one more operation, which offers an effective solution to component assembly. It is an economical and strong method of joining stamped, turned, or machined components.
In-Die Stamping and Assembly – The introduction of a previous turned or formed component at an intermediate station of a progressive die can combine both stamping and component in one operation. Through the design of suitable orienting, feeding, and positioning features and systems, we have provided considerable savings to assembly customers by eliminating the need to manufacture components separately and then assemble them in a third operation
