CVM Inc. Custom Machine Lab Automation Solutions

Complete Lab Automation Services & Solutions

CVM Inc. adheres to a three-step process for custom automation solutions for small and medium-sized businesses that require turnkey manufacturing results: Identify – Design – Execute. Our experienced team will first identify the present issues or limitations and determine the specific project goals. Second, we develop and refine strategic prototypes to meet design requirements or data specifications. Lastly, CVM Inc. executes the approved design with superior quality fabrication, assembly, installation, and on-site training, if required. This thorough three-step process applies to the following custom automation services and solutions.

Prototypes

Developing successful prototypes and adding continual developmental improvements are critical to providing any successful custom machine automation solution. By specializing in rapid prototyping for small and medium-sized niche projects, CVM is capable of taking an individualized approach to your project without applying a “one-size-fits-all” mentality. With an extensive catalog of existing parts and impressive in-house capabilities, CVM can quickly manufacture a mechanical prototype that will prove design concepts at key points of machine development. CVM provides machine automation prototype development as a singular service, regardless of whether you decide to scale your idea through our company or not.

Fixtures

The optimization of repetitive processes relies heavily on the overall fixture design and quality fabrication. Creating a refined fixture to enhance lab automation equipment results in improved levels of repeatability, proper orientation, correct alignments, and addresses safety concerns by eliminating (or greatly reducing) repetitive motion. CVM Inc. designs and manufactures custom automation fixtures, custom part holders, press fixtures, and assembly fixtures to meet the demands of manual assist processes, end-of-arm tooling, and all additional automated system requirements. With every project, our team will factor in materials like metal, plastic, and supplemental molding compounds to create the optimal fixture for your business.

Semi-Automated Equipment

Semi-automated equipment combines the activities of a hands-on operator with select steps automated by machines or additional equipment. Also known as manual assist automation or simple automation, operator assist equipment is extremely effective at increasing throughput and providing ergonomic improvements. Many of the manual processes improved by semi-automated equipment require repetitive motion or exposure to toxic chemicals and eliminating these concerns only further improves employee well-being and performance.

Limitations like available space, budgetary restraints, throughput, and general efficiency can all be improved upon with semi-automated equipment. Providing operators with an optimized and improved machine can drastically increase quality control measures while providing a cost-effective alternative to fully automated systems. Semi-automated equipment is increasingly popular with smaller manufacturers or those in niche markets with limited budgets.
