Automation Solutions
ACAD Design Corp. designs, fabricates, and integrates some of the highest quality automation systems in the industry. With decades of experience, we are adept at solving the unique challenges that each customer faces. We are committed to finding cost-efficient and ergonomic solutions for automation tasks in almost every industry.
Industries Served
Our automation-designed and built equipment can be used in virtually any manufacturing industry, including:
- Automotive
- Medical
- Aerospace
- Food & Beverage
- Packaging
- Industrial
- Plastic Injection Molding
Robotics
Depending on the task, we utilize SCARA or six-axis robots to complete the challenges given to us by our customers. They offer better speed, accuracy, and repeatability over independent actuators or human operators. ACAD Design is committed to remaining innovative in this field to effectively integrate robots and automation.
Advantages of Robots
- Better speed and accuracy
- Repeatability
- Reduced chance of human error
- Application versatility
- Shorter cycle time/reduced downtime
- Lights out manufacturing
- Predictable productivity

Laser Marking
Laser marking, also known as laser etching, is a process that uses a laser beam to create a permanent mark on a surface. It is often used for serialization, marking products, or part numbers. ACAD is proud to offer its Class 1 Certification for automated laser systems.
- Serialization
- Product or Part numbers
- Time or manufactured date
- 1D and 2D Barcodes
- Engineering Markings
- Functional Markings
- Logos
Advantages of Laser Marking
- Speed
- Can be used on plastics or metals
- Permanent marking – won’t wipe, smear, or wear off
- No mess – no inks or solvents as with continuous inkjet or printing
- Clean – no waste, no consumables, no byproducts

Vision Systems
Vision systems are used to determine presence, absence, measurement, assembly verification, and defect contamination when inspecting a manufactured product. At ACAD, we combine cameras and robots for quick and efficient inspection.
Advantages of Vision
- Speed
- Accuracy
- Reduced subjective human error
- Ability to see very small details/defects
- Statistical process tracking
- Robotic vision guidance and bin picking

Idler Inspection System
Assisted Assembly Equipment
These value-added machines assist operators by using different automated mechanisms to verify and assemble parts. Equipment of this style allows the end user to still produce quality goods with minimal operator involvement without fully automating the process.
Advantages of Assisted Assembly
- Improved workplace ergonomics (reduced repetitive operator motions)
- Repeatability
- Consistency
- Reliability
Our Assisted Assembly Work:
Differential Assembly Line
Material Handling
Whether it’s part trafficking, conveyors, moving things between cells or within a cell, or from one work area to another, safe and efficient material handling is essential.
Advantages of Material Handling
- Speed
- Automated movement
- Reduced repetitive operator motions
