 Fuel Filter Assembly System
This robotic assembly system for Parker Hannifin Racor Division, includes five assembly stations, quality inspection and inflow and outflow. System is protected by light curtain technology and produces a completely assembled multistage fuel filter every six seconds
 Apple Fixtures
These fixtures were designed and manufactured by Paxton Engineering to enable the precise location of hard-drives for pre-loading software during the production process at Apple Computer in Sacramento CA.
 Box Opener
This case opening technology, developed at Paxton Engineering and currently being used in the food industry allows boxes of bulk product to be robotically opened. The boxes are opened top and bottom and exit the system ready for recycling. The prototype of this system has currently opened approximately 10,000,000 boxes and is still working in an industrial setting.
 De-Palletizer
This robotic system locates boxes on a pallet and takes one at a time off the pallet depositing each box on a conveyor for further processing. This unit is designed to locate all boxes regardless of their position on the pallet. This allows for misaligned boxes to be lifted and removed as easily as the correctly placed boxes. Using proximity sensors along with "light curtain" technology, this unit operates with a minimum of operator interface.
 Remote Handling
This example of a remote handling device that was designed for Lawrence Livermore Labs and allows for exact movement and placement of a 500 lb load on a system which travels in several directions and at different levels. Using precise Thomson rails, this system was designed to operate completely without user interface.
 Spool Handling
This example of modification of a traditional fork lift to allow operator to handle 550 lb spools of product to load these spools accurately. The system utilizes video technology and allows the fork lift driver to see through the spool using a miniature camera mounted in the fork lift attachment and displayed on a monitor in the operators area.
 Conveyance System
When Aerojet needed to move a temperature conditioning building, housing the Atlas V rocket motor, they contacted Paxton Engineering.
A design was developed which allowed the structure to move out of the way to allow safe testing of this powerful rocket motor.
This system can be remotely activated and moves the housing smoothly back and forth over a distance of 80 feet. David Dallman’s remarks about this project can be found on our website under Clients Compliments.
