Automation

When it comes to growth, your decision should be automatic.

Capabilities

HS maximizes productivity and optimizes part processing by integrating the right technologies into a solution to meet your production needs. We can interface with existing equipment, to compliment your current process, or develop an independent solution for you to streamline production. Different levels of part processing require different assembly solutions which we create depending on your technical specifications. Contact us to achieve the right automation assembly solution for you.

Markets served: Aerospace, Automotive, Consumer and Military

We seek to reduce cost and enhance production for our customers by offering versatile modular mainframes and stand-alone stations. The modular mainframes are designed to have the nesting swapped out to process different parts to meet current or future production needs. As parts become obsolete, new nesting is made for the existing modular mainframes to help reduce cost. We work with you towards the best solution for your situation. Give us a call to experience the difference that makes firsthand.
