with today's need it now attitude we can only imagine how this philosophy is the same on the factory floor and in production plants manufacturing must be able to produce products quickly and efficiently in order to survive in today's economy building the machines for speedy production can be a big task as well joining us today is Ross edera of riata equipment in this video Ross and I discuss automation direct consistently offers products and services to customers like Rihanna giving them the cost effective products and efficient turnaround time needed so they can pass on the speed of production and savings to their clients as well let's take a closer look and see how riata equipment operates talked a lot about your equipment we saw a lot of models one of the ones that we really home did not was the APA auto Kristin hook maybe you can explain to us a little bit about how that she came about just a brief history with that bit it's actually customer over and Alabama is a longtime customer and he's a contractor so he gets in he never really knows what he's going to get into fields be crazy shake bottles crazy product um and he got this this one particular it's a shampoo and the bottle was really crazy it was smaller on base than it was at the top so have a terrible time you need to convey in and line up under the fill nozzles there was a machine we built probably three or four years ago and so he came to me and he sent me the bottles and he says you know figure out a way we can index these bottles and I didn't get hurt he literally like wanted it in a week and so I said I well let me see what we can do and that's when I called mark systems and controls he goes on my patrol work and said Mark I got a challenge for us and what we came up with was a bottle clamping system where we actually see the bottle with the eye and we clamp it in place underneath the phila nozzle so that it doesn't change location so we can hit it with phil maza nicely good and we and on this particular machine we used because I had to have everything in such a hurry the older delivery is I think I can order today and have it tomorrow price is one thing but you know when you can a lot of times it's not about prices about getting hurry the customer is on about the money well he's got a bigger working it out so you know we're using your eyes your guided rod air cylinders you're still annoys your PLC everything is controlling this machine and it's really saw to probably end up retrofitting to more shoes machines for him to do the same thing so it really got him out of a bond in it and made me a hero for in that so good when you were into the design of that clamping system what that mechanism obviously there's a Phil dispensing party being what was the challenge there's a lot of it was the speed at which we wanted to run the machine and designing a system that could sing the bottle quick enough and clamp so you get him in and out to get you know to get the rate of machines as high as you get it so we're feeling for the Raiders a minute 10th hit machine but that shape of followers we're pretty much I've heard of so it just worked out well very good
