HES specialises in mechanical handling of a variety of materials and components such as:

• Breath Freshener Film (cutting and packaging)

• Ptfe tape (slitting and stretching)

• Extruded artist pastel chalks (cutting and collating)

• Contact lenses (de-moulding and collating)

• Wax based crayons (automated casting and trimming)

PCB Laser cutting machine This machine is one of a pair of machines used to automatically laser cut two printed circuit boards (PCB) from their substrate and place them into a separate machine for auto-assembly.  The PCB’s are loaded, on demand, from an auto-loading machine via cassettes into a bespoke nest mounted on an X/Y table. 

A pair of servo motors are used to quickly transport the PCB under a laser head and then move it at a controlled rate to cut the holding tabs.  Once the PCB,s are free from the substrate, a pick and place device transports the complete assembly over to a waste bin and drops the outer substrate and then transports the two PCB’s into a nest in the next machine.
