Epic was selected to produce a large number of tools and machines for the semi-automatic production of interior trim for an up coming motor vehicle. The package included Epic’s proprietary fabric edge folding and servo controlled trim press machines. Production launch is schedule for summer 07.

Epic designed and built a package of 20 machines and fixtures for a state of the art headliner production line for an upcoming GM vehicle. These tools allow either manual or automatic production of headliners and incorporate a break thru design for ease of use and ergonomics.

Epic recently designed and built a “lights out” automated assembly system for international manufacturer of automotive power train components. The system incorporated four Fanuc six axis robots with servo controlled dial indexer to produce 360 drive shaft yoke assemblies per hour. The system is capable of assembling 17 different styles of yokes with minimal change over. The system yielded a 600% increase in productivity.
