Diverse Engineering Experience
Ward Systems - designs, fabricates and installs turnkey automation systems for material handling, assembly and packaging. Conceptual Design This is where we shine the brightest! Over the years, we have conceived some of the most ingenious devices and machines to automate machines. We have developed some incredible robotic grippers, parts handling techniques and feed systems over the last 28 years. Many of these have resulted in patents. Design Engineering We Mechanically Design Equipment in SolidWorks - We do FEA analysis of parts and assemblies We 3D print validation models to test fit components before manufacturing - We 3D print production robotic end effectors - We 3D print fixtures for automation and manual assembly Controls Engineering The hardest part of automation is getting unlike devices to work together - We do research to determine device selection that has been perfected over many years of automation development. We do controls layouts and create electrical schematics to support production of control cabinets Control Software Develop PLC or equivalent controller software - Program support devices like cameras, communication devices, Laser scanners and other specialty sensors Manufacturing Engineering We can improve your manufacturing by designing processes, fixtures and other tooling to aid and assist manual or robotic assembly.
