Partnership accelerates the design of automation cells for the most demanding industrial applications
CAMBRIDGE, ON (January 27th, 2019) Vention, a next-generation digital engineering platform for machine design, is proud to announce its partnership with ATS Automation to provide fast design and concept validation for SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ systems. This partnership combines Vention’s cloud-based machine design platform with ATS’s automation expertise to accelerate the design of automation cells for applications that require high throughput, high precision, and minimal footprint.
ATS’s SuperTrak GEN3™ modular conveyance components are now available on Vention’s cloud-based platform. Users can log onto Vention.io to easily design their cell with the SuperTrak CONVEYANCE™ foundation by choosing the number of modular track sections, high-speed shuttles, and other components using the 3D MachineBuilder™, its free on-line CAD platform.
To help users get started, Vention and ATS have created several public designs showcasing the integration between each of their modular components. Users can browse through a selection of sizes for the conveyance platforms, as well as “base modules” that can be attached around the conveyance track. Assemblies can be customized as needed to create semi or fully-automated production lines quickly and easily.
With a simple click, Vention users are now able to request a quote from ATS Automation. Beyond the online integration, ATS Automation and Vention work hand-in-hand to provide world-class support to users interested in high-speed, high-precision, automated solutions.
