Robotically Automated Photo Frame Assembly

MWES built a robotic system that assembles picture frames for a leading manufacturer of picture frames was in need of more flexible manufacturing capability than their current high-volume systems could provide. A completely new automation system was needed to reach down into the markets where more store-specific styles were needed to satisfy the unique customer tastes these markets catered to.
Relying on machine vision instead of product-specific tooling to align and perform the picture frame assembly operations has allowed MWES to achieve the goal of having a high-speed production system without the downside of time-consuming changeovers. This ability has directly enabled the customer to see the production efficiencies and throughput needed to be competitive in new markets and at smaller production runs
