For the past several years J.H. Benedict Company has been a proud sponsor of the Formula SAE team at Bradley University. Each Year a team of mechanical engineering seniors builds a formula car to compete in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Formula Car. This activity is performed as part of their required senior capstone project experience. J.H. Benedict offers students the opportunity to work side by side with our engineers and skilled craftsman during critical design and fabrication phases. Student actually operate the machinery used to fabricate many of the critical one off components used in the assembly of the teams formula car.

Robotics End-Of-Arm-Tooling

Robotic End-Of-Arm-Tooling

J.H. Benedict continues to provide customers with innovative tooling for their robotic application. The latest is a servo-driven taping head that maintains a constant rotation speed-to-linear travel relationship resulting in a consistent overlap finish. Below are a few of the “out of the box” tools that J.H. Benedict has developed over the years.

	This system uses both horizontal and vertical compliance tooling. This technique affords the end user with over 18 distinct tooling configurations.
This tool combines a parallel linear gripper with a pair of 0-180 degrees rotating heads to first remove part from incoming pallet then rotate 180 degrees before placing onto the assembly line. A dual camera 2D vision system locates the part during pickup as well as the proper location on assembly.
	A large tubular structure supports an arrangement of PIAB vacuum cups. This system removes a large steel fabrication, rotates 180 degress then places onto one of two outbound powered conveyors.
A large permanent magnet is used to remove 150 lbs part from inbound conveyor and move through a series of processes including a machining center, debur/brush station, a robotic plasma cutting cell then placing onto a powered outbound conveyor where it is conveyed to an inspection station.
