Continuous Motion Assembly Machines
Continuous machines perform assembly and testing with on-the-fly control of products in very large volumes. Continuous motion technology generally applies to the assembly of round and fragile parts (pumps, pushers, valves) or simple rectangular parts including irrigation drippers. When complex product shapes are to be assembled, “Pucks” are used to nest and carry the components through the assembly process. Before finalizing a machine design, LAGNIEL performs de-risking (Proof of Principle) procedures of critical operations in order to simulate the assembly processes, distribution, orientation and behavior of components. After this de-risking phase is successfully completed, the learned concepts are then integrated into the final assembly machine design.

Our Machines
Highlights of our Automatic Continuous Motion Machines
Rates of 9,000 to 60,000 parts per hour supporting production requirements from 50-400 million pieces per year. Components are automatically fed via vibratory bowls and directed towards the rotary barrels to be introduced on the fly. Despite high production speeds, each component is assembled at a rate of 25 cycles per minute, resulting in increased process time. In addition to traditional continuous motion assembly operations, LAGNIEL is also well known for the integration of high speed Ultra Sonic Welding into their continuous motion arsenal with automatic welding speeds of up to 600 pieces per minute. Online quality controls are also integrated into each machine including all types of vision, sensors and more.
