Printing and Assembly

Automation

We make it happen

If you are looking for a one-stop-shop high-tech printing and assembly solution provider with a can-do approach, we can answer that call. We have specialists who understand every aspect of any assembly or printing method your product may require. Our unique combination of printing and assembly has already won favour with many industrial giants. For inkjet, dry offset and pad printing we can develop inks if you have specific requirements for your products and their deployment environments, including any pre- or post-treatments.

Integration is key at AAE. We design machines that weave the various aspects of the different processes together, where other builders just find workarounds for process conflicts.  Processes that our experts create in-house. So, no fix or troubleshooting is necessary for transitions for modules supplied by other manufacturers. It is our goal to build reliable, efficient machines, without limiting ourselves to a specific automation platform. We understand reliability and sustainability also mean the availability of servicing and consumables for the machine’s lifetime (inks, plates, rollers, spares, up-to-date safety data sheets, etc.). And we know how well this drives down the total cost of ownership.

No excuses. Just perfect solutions. From a completely independent and privately owned company. Guaranteeing you get dependability, high yields and long-term profitability from your machines. You know what you want done. We know how to get it done, and in ways that maximise your profitability and reputation.

Our Automation Platforms

At AAE, we have a range of automation platforms for you to choose from. As we are not constrained by a single system, we can let your product and manufacturing needs lead. Together we can select the best possible fit to create an automation platform based on FMS, IMS or CMS. 

  • FMS is the flexible platform and the ideal solution for lower speeds with asynchronous cycle times.
  • IMS is an indexed platform (linear or round) and is better suited for synchronous cycle times (up to 90 indexes per minute).
  • Where you need continuous motion for high-volume manufacturing, CMS can handle up to 600 components per minute.
AAE Automotive Bosch

What makes us a unique supplier, is not just that we push the boundaries of technology (that’s a given) but in the way in which we can integrate printing, assembly and quality control testing technology in a single automated machine.

Creating the perfect platform is one thing, but doing this in a cost-effective way is quite another. At AAE, we never lose sight of the total cost of ownership. Downtime for repairs and frequent maintenance can cause expensive disruptions, as does having to replace a system because spare parts are no longer available. With our very own brand we carry a legacy, where reputation means everything, and our customer support is unsurpassed. Our support of your systems only stops when you are ready for an upgrade and not before it.

 

No excuses.
Just perfect solutions.
