Construction & Heavy Equipment

Construction & Heavy Equipment Manufacturers

Similar to the automotive industry, the construction and heavy equipment industry has to maintain impeccable standards. Environmental standards are consistently evolving and can be challenging to navigate. From meeting high cleanliness part specifications to coating and assembling components to material handling, the process needs to be exact.

Better yet, the need to exceed environmental standards is ideal, due to the ever-changing demands.

Manual applications to components can be imprecise and wasteful.

Adding automated solutions allows you to better utilize your employees and ensure quality control every time, throughout your entire process. Automation solutions can reinforce health and safety standards, protecting your employees and reducing errors.

Our Experience

For over 27 years, Arnold Machine has been designing and creating automated solutions in the construction and heavy equipment industry. We have worked with major appliance manufacturers to create custom equipment, utilizing fully automated to partially automated solutions. From robotic assembly systems to parts washers, we have been at the cutting-edge of technology while adhering to high-quality standards and building long-lasting machines. As a full-service facility, we maintain quality control from the raw materials to the finished system.

Arnold Machine is a member of the Rockwell Automation PartnerNetwork® and a FANUC America Authorized System Integrator. We utilize Computer Aided Design (CAD), simulation software, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software, electrical design software and control programming software to create finished designs. Our staff consists of expert engineers, manufacturers, programmers, electricians and machine tradesmen. We can build and customize virtually any type of automated equipment to meet specific needs.

We have helped our customers in the construction and heavy equipment industry streamline their manufacturing processes. Contact us today to see how we can help you optimize your production.

Applications

Some of the machines and systems we have built for leading manufacturers include:

Automated Assembly Systems

Our team designs machines specifically for repeatability and process control. All our systems are designed to limit component wear and adjustability so that over time, a machine can be adjusted to produce within its original parameters. With robotic integrations and conveyors, we can automate the entire process or bring it down to a one- or two-person operation depending on your needs and budget.
Automated and Robotic Spray and Adhesive Applications

Our spray systems can be automated for temperature control, rotation speed, spray time, fan and atomization pressure as well as gun positioning.
Parts Washers

In 2020, Arnold Machine acquired Findlay Machine and Tool (FMT) parts washer line along with their engineers, techs and sales team. Combining their 30 years of parts washer experience with our 27 years of automation experience was a great match. In that short time, we have created fully custom and fully automated parts washing systems for a variety of applications. Automotive stamping and machining is a common application for our parts washers.
Material Handling

Clients typically approach Arnold Machine for a material handling system when they need to join multiple stations within their process together to transfer a piece of equipment from one station to the next. Our material handling systems are ideal for part movement, pick and place, walking beam transfer and robot transfer.
Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs)

Our team can fully integrate AMR’s into automotive facilities for safer, smarter and more reliable transportation of components and parts through your facility. Designed to navigate using intelligent mapping, these flexible robots can be updated and rerouted with simple software changes instead of expensive facility upgrades (like automated guided vehicles).

We’re able to help you in every step of the process.

Our project managers and engineers are available to answer every question. We will build a system to your exact specifications or help you discover the process best suited to your needs.
