U-bolt Assembly Machine Assembly & Fabrication
Designing and building machines is one of our many expert services. When a marine industry client had a problem, they turned to JB Tool, Die & Engineering, Inc. for an answer. Beginning with the client’s concept, we engineered a machine that would automate the assembly of nuts onto variable length U-bolts. Using CAD modeling as a first step, we used a variety of our in-house processes, including CNC turning, machining, grinding and welding. Our highly trained automation staff built and programmed the machine’s control system. Once the machine was assembled, the finished product was fully tested and delivered to the client.
The operation of this machine involved creating a multi-step process to produce the final U-bolt assemblies. In building this machine, we worked to tolerances of ±.001″ to maintain that all components would perform up to our high standards.
