The process of automotive manufacturing requires precision. Through automotive engineering, manufacturers can refine their processes to create higher-quality parts more efficiently. Reliant Systems, Inc. supports automotive engineering through innovative automation systems, serving applications ranging from assembly to quality control.

The Difficulties of Automotive Production

Automotive manufacturing faces various challenges today. These difficulties include the need to minimize downtime. While consumers want the latest vehicles quickly, skills gaps and labor shortages slow down production. Manufacturers must also adapt to rapidly changing technology, such as electric vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems, which need new implementation processes and effective quality control. 

Precision automation solutions help manufacturers meet these and other challenges. Their precise movements enable them to complete even the most complex tasks previously done by humans. You can adapt their movement to suit new processes and use them to maintain quality control in manufacturing. 

Why Automotive Manufacturing Hinges on Precision Automation Solutions

Automation in automotive manufacturing may revolutionize various aspects of the automotive manufacturing process, providing benefits like:

• Safety: By moving parts exactly where they need to go, automation solutions improve quality. As a result, each component functions reliably in the finished vehicle. 
• Performance: Products must be consistent to work effectively. Manufacturers achieve this characteristic by implementing precision automation solutions. 
• Cost optimization: Machines efficiently perform tasks that once required time-intensive manual labor. Precision automation even takes over the most complex jobs. 

Automotive Engineering Advances Production

Our automotive manufacturing automation systems serve various applications in automotive engineering, including moving robotic arms and other components into the correct positions. They can also add value to machining and indexing. 

In quality control areas, these stages enable the precise positioning of parts, sensors, or cameras. These processes ensure vehicles meet standards of performance, safety, and reliability. They are essential at every stage of manufacturing. Our systems move efficiently to speed up production and quality assurance procedures while providing the level of control necessary for accuracy. 

Solutions Designed for Automotive Engineering Success

We design and manufacture high-precision positioning stages, including:

• Air-bearing stages: These systems have extremely precise movements, enabling tasks like inspecting minuscule electronic components or manufacturing complex systems. 
• Linear stages: These stages move along a single plane and lessen the manual labor and cycle time for tasks like automated welding or positioning parts for robotic assembly. 
• XY stages: Enable more complex movements with solutions that move along two planes. Potential applications include tasks like positioning circuit boards for inspection. 
• Z-axis and lift stages: Vertical movement allows for height adjustment in applications like pick-and-place or adjusting the height of welding heads. 
• Rotary stages: These solutions enable revolving movements, which may assist in tasks like rotational welding or indexing of engine parts for multisided machining.

Our capabilities include custom automotive engineering solutions, modifying stages to suit your needs. We also offer build-to-print assembly services, optimizing production of your pre-existing designs. Our stages have proven reliability in high-volume production environments. We have worked in the industry since 2004 and have a dedicated facility for precision manufacturing, including a Class 10,000 cleanroom.
