Many repetitive tasks can be automated. We offer custom turnkey solutions to enhance your production capabilities.

If you’ve ever wished you had a third hand to hold something while trying to delicately solder it this fixture is for you. The color coded plates correspond to the particular PCB being soldered that day to eliminate putting wires in the wrong place, The tool-less clamping system means it is as fast to use as it is precise.

Our customer needed to glue two halves of a very complex enclosure together and ensure an accurate bead every time. The tiny size and precision meant that it couldn’t be done by hand. We designed and built multi-axis fixtures that enabled a robotic glue dispenser to apply the perfect amount every time.

Speed, precision and reliability are all crucial to the assembly process. in order to streamline the assembly process for a small medical device company, designPORT developed a jig that replaced three assembly steps with one simple press operation. An intimate understanding of the product allowed designPORT to create a jig that cut assembly cost by saving time and improving process repeat-ability!

These 3D Glasses need to be washed in an industrial dish washer between each customer use. To ensure the delicate circuitry and battery compartments are sealed we designed and built these testers for our client. Assembly line workers simply place the glasses onto a custom nozzle and the machine pressure tests the entire assembly and announces whether it is properly sealed or not.

Maintaining critical dimensions can be difficult especially when dealing with manufacturers overseas. To aid a client plagued by out of spec parts, designPORT developed Go/No-Go gauges to eliminate measurement errors. A single handle actuates a series of precision machined pins, allowing the machinist to quickly and definitively verify that all critical features of a part are within tolerance before they are shipped.

These bio-fuel modules are designed to be easily transported on standard semi-trailers. To add capacity simply daisy chain them together.

Our in-house work cells demonstrate how to minimize inventory and employ lean manufacturing techniques. For small companies we can be the contract manufacturer and fulfillment partner.

To quickly be able to fabricate custom programming and testing stations we developed a quick change molding system. By only changing a single part we are able to produce multiple copies of an electronics programmer thereby keeping up with a customer’s 24/7 production line.

We designed and built automatic testers that could quickly spin and calibrate electronic assemblies at high rpm prior to being shipped by our customer. The test and calibration machine ensures that 100% of the products work before shipping while simultaneously increasing throughput on the factory floor.

Shipping painted hoods and other automotive body panels across the country can result in damage and is expensive due to the large size of the parts. We designed knockdown body panel racks to allow a major automotive manufacturer to protect parts and save return shipping due to the reduced volume.

To regain control of production from an overseas supplier our client needed us to reverse engineer a product that included complex castings. Using our 3D scanner we captured the important dimensions and developed new models for domestic tooling. The new parts are higher quality, the local supplier responsive and the whole production line is running smoother with less potential inventory shortages.

We designed and built this pilot plant machine to exert 16 tons of force between the large rollers. The long crank handle and gear reduction means a single person can produce perfectly sized industrial sponges.
