This fixture was specially designed to provide quick changeover and re-tooling of a product assembly station for an automotive component manufacturer. It provides positive retention of the product during the assembly cycle while allowing easy load and unload by the operator. Adjustment features allow this single fixture to be quickly reconfigured to support a family of products.
Designed and built for a cardboard box manufacturer, this custom machine folds and assembles cardboard pallet runners. It includes:
This multi-function, gang pick-and-place head is used by an automotive component manufacturer in their cylinder-rod chrome line. Materials and design support operation in a harsh, corrosive environment. Special features provide a long service life with minimal maintenance.
This electronic chip production tooling module includes a bayonet mount with over-center latch. It provides quick change-over while maintaining precision referencing of product to the tooling. The machine interface includes electrical and fluid connections with coded flagging for automatic tool identification and monitoring. A specially designed actuation system supports high speed tool motion while limiting accelerations on delicate electronic components and avoiding part ejection.
This custom designed machine uses standard sanding belts to accurately clean and true the ends of both straight and bent fiberglass pipe. Designed to be quickly adjusted, this machine can handle pipe sizes from 2-8 inches. Pneumatic controls and a dust containment system minimizes health and safety risks.
This device is designed to dispense high strength magnets used in the assembly of OEM automotive components. The Dispenser reliably separates individual magnets from a stack and presents them for ready access by the machine operator. The design virtually eliminates jamming and misfeeds common to the hardware it was designed to replace. A locking magazine supports material tracking and control requirements.
Mitech Systems, Ltd. was established in 1995 by Mike Milosh. A Graduate of Michigan Technological University's Mechanical Engineering program, Mike spent over 13 years working in the Equipment Development Group of a major research and development firm in Columbus, Ohio. He holds multiple patents.
Mike also spent several years designing, building, and operating marine and ROV equipment as the technical director of the Columbus America Discovery Project and spent three seasons at sea conducting underwater recovery operations.
Growing up on a farm with access to a small machine and welding shop, Mike enjoyed inventing and repairing equipment. With the nearest farm supply store 45 miles away, he learned to keep equipment running when parts weren't readily at hand.
With this background, Mike has developed a deep knowledge of machine design principles and has the experience to provide practical insight into a wide variety of design problems.
