Assembly Equipment - Knife Handle & Blade

CDS Manufacturing designed and built this automatic assembly equipment to feed, orient and assemble knife handles and blades. This system utilizes vision inspection equipment and a rotator to orient the handles for blade insertion. A dual headed pick and place positions a pair of handles at the end of the system where the blades are inserted. Part present sensors verify that all of the components are properly positioned and a heating element assembles the blades to the handles.

CDS Manufacturing has designed and built custom automated assembly equipment, inspection machinery, and sorting systems since 1983.

Ever seen a round ball travel up hill. Impossible right? Well, sort of....

CDS Manufacturing designs and builds automatic inspection equipment to sort spherical parts by the quality of the sphere. Parts are fed from a bulk hopper to a vibratory inspection surface. Parts with flats, doubles, clusters, tear drops, etc... feel the effects of the vibration while the vibratory action of the inspection surface has little effect on the roundest product. Round parts
