Automation and Production Systems
If you want machinery to handle repetitive manual production tasks, automate part assembly or add a station to your existing line, we can work with you.
Quick Design Makina assesses how the product will be fed, transported, processed and checked. We develop assembly machines, feeding and handling systems, test stations and interconnected production modules. A turnkey scope can include mechanical design, manufacturing, assembly and control-system integration.
Discuss your production requirements
What applications can we help with?
- Assembly machines: Mechanisms, fixtures and workstations for positioning, joining, pressing and screwdriving operations.
- Feeding systems: Deliver parts in the required orientation and position at agreed intervals.
- Product handling: Conveyors, transfer assemblies and product flow between stations.
- Pick-and-place mechanisms: Grip, transfer, orient and position parts.
- Testing and inspection stations: Setups for part presence, position, measurement or functional testing.
- Filling and packaging: Dosing, container feeding, filling, closing and case-packing applications considered with the line.
- Existing-line development: Add modules, connect stations or automate a defined operation.
How do we define an assembly-machine design?
We review part dimensions, tolerances, joining methods and target production rate. Together, we determine which tasks remain with the operator and which are performed by mechanisms or controls.
Part holding and positioning, operation sequence, required force or motion, sensor checkpoints and product unloading are considered within the same scope. For multiple products, we also assess fixture changes and adjustment requirements.
Automation scope for your requirements
| Requirement | Example arrangement | Points considered |
|---|---|---|
| Operator-assisted assembly | Fixture and controlled workstation | Part position, operator tasks and inspection steps |
| Automatic assembly | Feeding, positioning and joining mechanisms | Sequence, cycle and part checks |
| Product transfer | Conveyor and pick-and-place assembly | Flow, position and station interfaces |
| Testing and quality control | Station with sensors or measurement setup | Inspection criteria, results and logging needs |
| Existing-line integration | New module or additional station | Space, equipment interfaces and compatibility |
Full automation may not be necessary for every application. Product variety, production quantity and investment scope inform the choice between operator-assisted and automated arrangements.
Development and commissioning stages
1. Define the operation and targets
We review existing work, products and operation sequence. Production rate, cycle time, quality requirements, operator tasks and facility capabilities inform the technical scope.
2. Layout and mechanical design
We develop station layout, product flow, mechanisms and fixtures. Materials, drives, pneumatic components, assembly and maintenance access are considered alongside the design.
3. Control system and user interface
We define the operating sequence, sensor information, motion commands and user settings. PLCs, touchscreens (HMIs), servo drives and other control components are integrated according to the project requirements. Electrical and software work can be coordinated with specialist partners where needed.
4. Manufacturing, assembly and trials
We prepare manufacturing files and coordinate part production and component sourcing. After assembly, product trials evaluate mechanical motion, sensor checks and operation sequence.
5. Installation, commissioning and delivery
Within the agreed scope, we install the system in the existing line or work area. Product trials, necessary adjustments and operator guidance support delivery. Installation location and acceptance conditions are agreed at the proposal stage.
Assembly and handling design examples
Control, settings and traceability
Depending on the requirements, features can include touchscreen product selection, recipe management, production counters, alarm information and test-result logging. Data use, communication with existing equipment and the recording scope are defined at the outset.
What can be delivered?
- Assembly machine, workstation or production module
- Conveyors, feeding and transfer assemblies
- 3D designs, technical drawings, manufacturing files and BOM
- Assembly information and agreed control-system files
- Operating and maintenance information
- Testing, commissioning and operator guidance
Deliverables, file usage rights and each party's responsibilities are clarified at the proposal stage.
Frequently asked questions
Can we automate one operation without replacing the entire line?
Yes. The scope can focus on one assembly, feeding, handling or testing station. Interfaces with existing equipment and operating conditions are assessed together.
Can you develop a semi-automatic machine loaded by an operator?
Yes. The arrangement can allow the operator to load products or handle defined tasks while the machine performs assembly, processing or inspection steps.
Can the same station handle different products?
Product dimensions and operations can inform interchangeable fixtures, adjustable mechanisms and different settings. Suitability is determined after reviewing the products.
Can PLC, touchscreen and electrical work be included?
Yes. A turnkey scope can combine mechanical systems with electrical, control and user-interface work. Specialist tasks and responsibilities are defined in the proposal.
Can you work with automation companies as a subcontractor or project partner?
Yes. We can take a defined scope for mechanical design, fixtures, machine modules, manufacturing and assembly, or participate in a joint project. The division of work and deliverables are agreed at the outset.
What should we provide for an initial review?
A short operation video, product dimensions or samples, target production quantity, available space and existing-equipment information are useful. Together, we can define a suitable automation scope.
