Assembly & Test Equipment and Systems


For Faucets, ball valves, Robinets, gate valves, spigots and the like, both manual and automatic machines are available for assembly and testing. Assembly Equipment and Test Equipment is also available for other products or any other automotive components which require a high degree of assembly accuracy and testing of the finished product.

Original solutions designed for each specific requirement and aiming at the optimization of the production phase, obtain productivity, ergonomic results, reliability, economic results and easy servicing.  The accurate analysis of the production requirements and any possible solutions enable our technicians to offer the most suitable assembling stations, which are simple and efficient for any particular requirement. By taking  advantage of the considerable company know-how and firm technical skills, you are assured a completely automatic assembly line.

Automatic assembly machines and systems can be of an in-line configuration as a palletized system, or as a transfer machine utilizing a rotary table.

The transfer machines can be fully automatic to include the feeding of the component, such as cartridges, valve stems, valve seals, valve balls, faucet handles and the like.  Optionally, a transfer assembly machine for a faucet can be semi-automatic, where an operator places the faucet body, valve seals, valve cartridge, valve stems, and cartridge locking collar onto a mandrel within the loading station and rotates the table to unload and continue loading the valve components.  As the table rotates, the automation of the system selects each component and assembles them as the table rotates through the various stations.  

Fully automatic systems will extract the seals, stems, and ceramic cartridges as required and feed them automatically into the assembly stations.

Of course, after each step of the valve or faucet assembly, testing can be performed for the accuracy of the assembly and the integrity of the assembled component.  The systems can be designed so that if a defect is found in a valve or faucet, no further assembly is affected to the valve.
