Secondary Assembly
Secondary Systems Fastening
Precision fastening systems designed to secure components reliably and consistently at production speed.
Secondary Systems Fastening
AIS Technologies Group designs and integrates fastening and riveting systems that bring consistency, control, and verification to critical assembly operations. These systems are engineered to support high-volume production while reducing variability and minimizing the risk of missed or incorrect fasteners.
Fastening solutions can be fully integrated with poka-yoke strategies, tool verification, and process monitoring to ensure each fastening event occurs correctly before the process advances. By combining automation, vision, and controls, AIS helps manufacturers improve quality outcomes while maintaining throughput in demanding production environments.
Each system is purpose-built for the application, balancing precision, durability, and scalability to support long-term reliability in high-cycle operations.
Tool Fastening Stations
AIS Technologies Group designs and integrates tool fastening stations that bring control, repeatability, and verification to manual and semi-automated fastening operations. Each station is configured to support the specific fastening method, part geometry, and production requirements of the application.
Fastening stations can incorporate torque and angle monitoring, tool verification, and poka-yoke logic to reduce variability and help ensure fastening events are completed correctly before the process advances. Systems are engineered with durability and ergonomics in mind to support consistent performance in high-cycle production environments.
Every solution is fully customized and integrates tooling, fixtures, controls, and software into a single, cohesive station designed to improve throughput while maintaining process integrity.
Tool Tracker Stations
AIS Technologies Group designs tool tracker stations that combine fastening control with preventative poka-yoke logic to help ensure fastening operations are completed correctly and in the correct sequence. These systems monitor tool position and motion during the fastening process, enabling verification before a fastening event is accepted.
Tool tracker stations integrate with PLC and production systems to associate fastening data such as position, torque, and sequence with the part record. This approach supports traceability, reduces the risk of cross-threading or misalignment, and helps prevent incomplete or incorrect assemblies from advancing downstream.
Each system is engineered for flexibility, allowing stations to be reconfigured or repurposed as tooling or product requirements change.
Bushing Stations
AIS Technologies Group designs bushing stations to support accurate, repeatable press-fit installation of bushings into subframes and structural components. These systems are engineered to control placement, orientation, and press conditions, helping ensure bushings are installed correctly before assemblies move downstream.
Bushing stations can be configured with placement verification and error-proofing features to confirm correct part orientation and location prior to pressing. Integration with vision, fixtures, and control systems supports consistent installation while reducing the risk of misalignment or incorrect loading.
Each station is customized to the specific application, with flexibility to support manual, semi-automated, or robotic operation depending on production requirements.
Heat Staking
AIS Technologies Group designs heat staking systems for secure, repeatable joining of thermoplastic components. These systems apply controlled heat and pressure to form strong mechanical bonds without the need for vibration or additional fasteners, making them well suited for assemblies containing sensitive electronics or cosmetic surfaces.
Heat staking stations are configured to control staking parameters and verify correct part placement prior to joining. Systems can be deployed as manual, semi-automated, or fully robotic stations, depending on production volume and process requirements.
Each solution is engineered for consistent results within a single cycle, helping ensure reliable joint formation before assemblies advance to downstream operations.
