The Human Side of Industrial Automation Equipment
For more than a quarter-century, Ahaus has been designing and building special equipment and assembly automation equipment. Our extensive experience with industrial automation includes: assembly equipment, part joining/crimping equipment, bearing insertion assembly equipment, automation of part handling, robotic systems integration, process controls and custom metal removal. We research and integrate the best components, including feeder bowls, servo presses, laser markers, and conveyors to deliver an optimal automation solution.

Redefining Automation Innovation
Large Systems
Fully automated systems combine the best of speed and accuracy for assembly and test solutions. Ahaus includes with every project, a complete complementary project management package including a project manager as your single point of contact, initial conception and design, customer reviews and approvals throughout the entire project, controls hardware and software design, and assembly debug and runoff of the final product.
Standalone Special Machines
Our very knowledgeable engineering team can work with your in-house engineering team to develop the best fit for your challenging needs. Ahaus has designed and built numerous stand alone stations to allow operators to interact with cobots, screw drivers, presses, crimpers, and many other tools required to assemble your components. With an integrated PLC your facility has the capability of extracting data strategically collected for quality and traceability.
Semi-Automatic
Semi-automatic work cells combine the robust precision of automated equipment and also the cost-saving features of operator assembly and part manipulation. Semi-automated work stations offer a more cost effective solution when compared to a fully automated work station. Ahaus has the expertise and ability to identify the aspects of your assembly project that can be easily automated and the aspects that are more cost effective to be done by an operator.
Lean Systems
Ahaus is able to help you save valuable resources by providing the best method to implement lean manufacturing in your assembly process. By finding the best possible solution, we are able to reduce labor input, floor space, capital investment, energy, and many other resources to get your components assembled as efficiently as possible.
Whitepaper: How to Know When It's Time To Automate
Automation is increasingly becoming a solution for many or all of these seven common pressures, but often times it is difficult to decide when, where, or how to implement automation in your manufacturing environment. Like the manufacturer’s stories above, there comes a point in the life cycle of a company where forward-thinking manufacturers try to decide if automation is the right solution for them.

Integrated Testing
Using a test system may be the solution to confirm that your components pass capability testing. Ahaus has designed and built numerous test systems to confirm leak rates, failure modes, torque, and many other applications. PLC feedback can allow your facility to capture the test data output to track quality.
