Assembly & Press Fit Automation
Custom-engineered machines for automated assembly, press fitting, and torque tightening to ensure consistent product build quality.
SPM MACHINES
SPM Machines
Custom Special Purpose Machines Designed for Your Production Needs
Automate Precision and High-Volume Operations
OA designs and manufactures customized Special Purpose Machines (SPMs) that automate repetitive, high-volume, and precision manufacturing operations. Our solutions are engineered specifically for your production process, ensuring higher throughput, consistent quality, and reduced cycle time.
Inspection & Gauging
Integrate leak testing machines, precision gauging stations, and automated vision inspection to guarantee zero-defect manufacturing.
Material Handling Systems
Streamline production flow with dedicated pick & place systems, automated material feeding, and part transfer mechanisms.
Traceability & Marking
Incorporate automatic marking and traceability systems into your SPM to track part history, batch data, and quality metrics.
How the workflow connects
Requirement Analysis
We collaborate with your team to understand your specific manufacturing process, cycle time constraints, and quality targets.
Concept & Design
Our engineering team develops a 3D machine concept, selecting the optimal pneumatic, servo, and control components.
Manufacturing & Assembly
The machine is fabricated, assembled, and wired in our facility, integrating required PLCs, HMIs, and mechanical fixtures.
Testing & Deployment
Rigorous factory acceptance testing (FAT) ensures cycle time and quality metrics are met before on-site installation and commissioning.
Special Purpose Machines are highly effective standalone units, but they deliver maximum value when integrated into your factory network. Connect your SPM to our Industrial IoT platform to track OEE, cycle times, and machine health in real-time.
What to prepare for an evaluation
- Detailed part drawings and 3D models
- Target cycle time and required production volume
- Specific assembly, testing, or inspection steps
- Available floor space and utility connections
- Traceability and plant-network integration needs
Deployment can be reviewed against plant connectivity, data ownership and response-time needs. See the manufacturing platform architecture for edge, cloud and hybrid considerations.
Questions manufacturing teams ask
What is a Special Purpose Machine (SPM)?
An SPM is a custom-engineered machine designed to perform a specific set of manufacturing operations automatically, unlike standard CNCs or robots which are general-purpose.
How do you ensure the machine meets our production rate?
During the concept phase, we calculate precise cycle times based on the selected actuators, servos, and process requirements to guarantee your production targets are met.
Can an SPM be integrated with our existing production line?
Yes, we design our SPMs to fit seamlessly into your existing floor layout, including integrating with upstream or downstream conveyors and automation systems.
Do you provide after-sales support for custom machines?
Absolutely. We provide full documentation, operator training, spare parts lists, and ongoing technical support to ensure your machine runs smoothly for years.
