Midwest Egineering Systems- Process Design Specialists
Midwest Engineering Systems now offers robotic laser deburring, random robotic bin picking, process development programs, and concept testing processes.
Midwest Engineering Systems Inc., an innovative provider of premier custom machines and integrated systems now offers more unique automation technology.
Since the beginning of 2014, Midwest Engineering Systems has seen an increase in manufacturing companies interested in implementing automation and robotic systems into their operations. In order to support the growing manufacturing industry, Midwest Engineering Systems has expanded their capabilities and services to include robotic laser deburring, robotic bin picking, process development programs, and concept testing processes.
• Robotic Laser Deburring: Automating the process of removing burrs and edges using a high-powered laser. This new technology has many advantages over conventional deburring techniques when removing burrs around intersecting holes. technology has the advantage of no consumable tooling, dynamic edge processing control, and virtually no fixuring. The result is a product that can be cleaned before deburr processing and requires no post deburr cleaning.
• Random Robotic Bin Picking: The ability to locate and pick randomly piled parts from a bin, using a robot and vision system. Robots can verify the correct gripping position to pick up parts and place them in a second location. Further capacities include:
o Distinguishing the desired part from garbage or part with incorrect features
o Deep bin picking up to 4'
o Not just part extraction but picking with part orientation
o Identifying parts and their orientation regardless of surface finish, shine, rust, color, etc.
o Robotic mechanical gripper and magnetic end effector configurations
• Process Development Programs and Concept Testing Processes: Using quantitative and qualitative methods to evaluate automation equipment designs and functionality before building a complete final system. MWES provides complete Design of Experiments (DOE) testing, process capability testing for Cp and Cpk as well complete prototyping so that you will know your process capability before you invest in the automated production line.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
