assembly automation
Our automation expertise goes far beyond plastic welding — we design and build custom assembly automation machines that handle everything from simple processes to highly complex, multi-step operations.
Whether you need a standalone system or a machine integrated into an existing production line, we develop tailored solutions to meet your specific automation goals. Our systems are built for flexibility, efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Our Assembly Automation Capabilities Include:
- Spring loading, pressing, fastening, cutting, bending, and folding
- Laser marking, ultrasonic or thermal welding, and material dispensing
- Integrated leak testing, inspection, and part verification
- Smart transport between stations using rotary indexers, pick-and-place systems, robots, or conveyors
We specialize in combining multiple functions into one compact, efficient machine — improving cycle times, reducing floor space, and lowering costs. Every system we build is engineered for your specific parts, materials, and production requirements.
With a wide range of successful applications behind us and a willingness to tackle unique challenges, Craig Machinery is your trusted partner for turnkey assembly automation.
