Case Studies in Dispense Automation
Industry examples and real-world applications for dispensing automation for all types of materials including grease, oil, adhesives, and more.
Precision Through Partnership: UV Cure Dispensing
The durability of electrical equipment in various environmental conditions is crucial, and it begins with the proper application of materials to ensure integrity. Betz Machine, a valued long-term partner, approached us to assist in developing a system for dispensing UV cure potting compound on the electrical connectors used between trucks and trailers.
Solar Shingle Dispensing, Simplified
Direct access to solar energy at your home has several benefits including lower utility bills, increased market value, and self-sustainability. However, typical solar panels can be bulky and out-of-place on a residential house. As the demand for residential solar power increases, manufacturers globally are working to improve the appearance and functionality of solar panels. GP Reeves worked with a manufacturer who designs solar panels to mimic the look of standard roofing shingles.
Dispensing Innovations For Advanced Air Mobility
Innovations in aerospace technology, increased commercial efforts to decarbonize, and the advancement of electric mobility will drive the growth of advanced air mobility. A prime example of this transformation is the development of electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOLs). Responding to the rising adoption of eVTOLs, one company has developed its own eVTOL solutions. To streamline their assembly and ensure an efficient manufacturing process, they approached GP Reeves for a custom automated dispensing solution.
Pellet Mill Lubrication: Clean Grease, Simplified Process
An animal feed manufacturer came to GP Reeves for assistance with maintaining their feed pellet mill. We developed a grease dispensing solution that applied food grade grease to roller, die, and drum components of the pellet maker. Our process improved the quality of the manufacturer’s machinery, saved material, and simplified the necessary maintenance.
Renewable Energy Solutions: Degassing Process
Renewable energy is paving the way for a sustainable future. Though there are obvious benefits of transitioning towards renewable options, one of the most talked about problems regarding renewable energy is the inconsistency. However, this is solved through energy storage systems. Recently, we were approached to assist in developing an automated filling solution that not only measures and dispenses their electrolyte solution but degases the material as well.
Boats Built Better | Wire Harness Case Study
As the world progresses into a new technological epoch, many recreational boat manufacturers are seeking ways to incorporate automated reliability into their production lines. A leading marine manufacturer came to GP Reeves seeking a solution to further their marine development with advanced dispensing. We were able to deliver a customized, turnkey, semi-automated dispensing system that allowed for a higher production capacity, increased product quality, and faster assembly efficiencies.
Oil Filling Assembly | An Automated System Solution for Generator Engines
For a commercial-grade generator manufacturer, GP Reeves designed an innovative oil fill system that provided accuracy, efficiency, and unbeatable reliability. This system recognized differences between various models and ensured each component received the proper amount of material every time.
Innovative Rotor Assembly | A Solution for Electric & Hydrogen Powered Vehicles
A manufacturer came to GP Reeves seeking a solution for the assembly of electric and hydrogen powered vehicle drivetrains. Their motors, found in the vehicles all over the globe, needed a dispensing system as innovative as their impact on the transportation industry.
Charging Up Consumerism: Electrifying the Route of Consumer Goods
65% of growth in the consumer products industry has come from the development of e-commerce in the past few years. GP Reeves has always been adept at propelling customers further into progress, even amidst the demanding challenges of current times. This skilled proficiency in ruthless innovation has been exemplified by GP Reeves’ ability to assist in the development of electric delivery trucks.
The Right Kind of Mess: Preparing Transaxles for Dirty Work
Nobody likes to clean up a mess. It causes frustration, downtime, wasted material, expenses, and a loss in production capacity. An integrator came to GP Reeves seeking a solution for an RTV application. The company wanted to apply RTV material to the transaxle housings that would be used to produce John Deere tractors and XUVs. Although these vehicles might do the dirty work, their assemblers shouldn’t have to.
Accommodating Advancement: A System for Medical Caster Wheels
Advancement is a huge aspect of medical technology, so when a long time customer came to us asking for a system update, we were happy to comply. Our engineers configured a solution that increased efficiency, established higher safety standards, and led to a greater production capacity.
Case Study: Electric Energy Storage
As the world transitions towards electrified power sources, energy storage is becoming an intensifying clean energy interest. GP Reeves recently had the opportunity to assist in the advancement of energy storage systems as we customized a solution to accurately deliver battery acid into part components for an industrial battery system.
Case Study: Window Actuator Custom Nesting
A global automotive manufacturer was had an inefficient lubrication process that led to excess wasted material, a surplus of labor time, and an overall lack of procedural control. GP Reeves assessed the situation and developed custom nesting to integrate into their current automated system and save time, material, and increase procedural control.
