ATS SymphoniTM – Synchronous High Performance Digital Assembly Solution

Our ATS SymphoniTM is a digital assembly automation technology featuring an unmatched combination of speed, versatility, and precision. It delivers business value in a scalable, modular platform that merges the best features from each – the digital flexibility of robotics and linear motion conveyance, the high output, cam-driven efficiency of continuous motion, synchronous indexing machines as well as the linebalancing power of intelligent pallets.

Operating Features

  • Robotic Stroke Rate: up to 200 per minute
  • Operations: 1-up to 4-up with digital, friction-free radial orientation.
  • Library of standard, selectable motion profiles
  • Library of standard robotic end-of-arm “decks” 
  • Fine Adjustment of Axes through HMI: 0.01 mm increments
  • Flexibility: Ability to leverage a given workstation to do multiple operations

Physical Construction

  • SuperTrak™ Spine: configurable and extendable in 1 m sections
  • Standard Modules: 1 m and 2 m

ATS OmniTrakTM – Combined Linear Assembly Solution

Our ATS OmniTrakTM is an unique assembly system technology that has been proven in production for many years. It combines the precision of cam-controlled workstations and the flexibility of linear motor-driven workpiece carriers (ATS Supertrak ConveyanceTM). This system offers high flexibility for products and processes, as well as a lower maintenance and space requirements.

  • Cycle Rate: Up to 200 cycles per minute
  • Number of Pallets: Fully configurable
  • Pallets Size: Fully customizable
  • Options: Synchronous, Asynchronous, Continuous motion
  • Size: Tracks configurable in 1m segments
  • Interfaces: Ethernet IP, Powerlink, Profinet, EtherCAT

ATS DiscoveryTM – Synchronous Rotary Indexing Assembly Solution

Our ATS DiscoveryTM dial machine is a standardized, cam driven platform that ATS has refined and successfully implemented throughout the industry for decades. It achieves high production performance due to the high repeatability of cam driven stations and easy maintenance. The dial movement is generated by an indexer coupled to the main drive shaft producing a synchronized machine.

  • Cycle speed: Up to 150 cycles per minute
  • Stations: up to 20 (standard)
  • Number of tracks: up to 12
  • Options: special versions such as two interlinked rotary indexing machines
  • PLCs: Siemens S7 or Allen Bradley CLX

ATS JetwingTM – Synchronous Linear Assembly Solution

Our ATS JetwingTM is an exceptionally versatile, compact, linear assembly platform. It supports up to 12 stations and is ideal for the product development phase and assembling large quantities of products with short lifecycles. The system is capable of both semi- and fully-automatic assembly. Quick retools, combinations of stations via interfaces, introduction of new stations/modules or product changes are one of the greatest features of the system.

  • Number of Stations: up to 12
  • Number of Tracks: multiple-track assembly possible
  • Cycles: infinitely variable, up to 80 cycles per minute
  • Positional Accuracy: +/-0.02 mm
  • Pallet Dimensions: 100×100 mm and 200×100 mm
  • Indexing Time: 0.2 seconds (with 100 mm feed)
  • Basic Dimensions: 1120 x 1540 x 2300 mm
  • Cleanrooms: Suitable up to class 10,000 / ISO 7
