Expertise

DWFritz has expertise across many markets and industries:

High Speed Assembly

We have designed and built innovative, high speed assembly machines for a variety of industries. One example is the system with the capability to feed, assemble, swage, and inspect a connector every 1.25 seconds. Another system was designed for the electronics industry to align, insert, and shear 4 (0.0056” diameter) wires per second.

Small Part Metrology

With expertise in precision, systems for handling small part metrology are a specialty. For example, we routinely develop automation tools with 50-micron inspection tolerances, 4 parts per second, 30 measurements per part, and 10% gage capable.

Micro Fastener Insertion

We develop machines that assemble and press micro-sized tack pins as small as 1mm diameter for use in mobile devices, keyboard assembly and other consumer electronics. Our machines can perform an insertion every 1.2 seconds to 20-micron repeatability.

Electronic Device Quality Inspection

Inspection systems for cell phones and other mobile devices require a high degree of both speed and precision. Our systems have achieved 120 inspections per 90 seconds with 10% gage capability.

Precision Dispensing

We develop sophisticated machines that dispense viscous and non-viscous liquids with high precision, volume control and placement. As an example, we can repeatedly apply 300-micron glue dots with 20-micron repeatability at a rate of 150 milliseconds per dot.
