Assembly and test fixtures and machines, Sticking and wet‐out, Destructive and nondestructive test machines, Camera inspection and colour sensor integration

Sims manufacture a range of assembly machines, tools and fixtures to reliably and repeatedly assemble automotive, industrial and domestic parts.

These machines typically provide a means of locating and manipulating the parts and can incorporate:

• Automatic and manually operated tools such as screw drivers and rivet guns.
• Bar code reading and label printing 
• Electrical tests for wiring looms, lamps and sensors
• Pneumatic tests for headlamps and windscreen washers
• Sticking and wet‐out operations placing parts that have self‐adhesive tapes and pressing them into place for a pre‐set wet‐out period to ensure that the join is correctly made.
• Vision inspection systems
• Colour detection and confirmation

Sims can manufacture test machines to provide destructive tests on plastic welded parts to confirm that the weld meets the design specification. We also manufacture leak test fixtures and machines to check the integrity of critical components such as washer bottles and header tanks.
