SMT Tooling Partners with The JW Corporation in Canada
Duryea, PA ― February 2023 ― SMT Tooling, a division of PSA Systems, today announced that it has partnered with The JW Corporation at its newest manufacturers’ representative. Under the agreement, Jason Wahba will represent SMT Tooling’s Matrix™ Automatic SMT Support Tooling throughout Canada.
Another satisfied PSA Systems' customer! Dorman Products, based in Sanford, NC, partnered with PSA to design their first robotic work cell to store and catalogue remanufactured battery fuel cells for the hybrid-electric car industry. PSA utilized ABB's IRB 4600 with a custom end-of-arm tool to pick battery cells from a custom infeed conveyor and place in the fuel cell “library”. The robot would then pick the appropriate fuel cells from the “library” and deliver them to an assembly operator to build out the newly remanufactured battery pack. The robot programming was completed using ABB's RobotStudio Virtual Programming Software, which significantly decreased commissioning and de-bug times.
Great job PSA Systems and thank you Dorman Products for entrusting PSA as your robotic automation partner!
