Automation systems Mount Vernon, Indiana

Cell logic / production ready

Automation systems coordinate molding, handling, inspection, and assembly

Infinity combines advanced robotics with skilled human expertise to build repeatable production flows around the part, process, quality plan, and program goals.

Built around the workPart-led system design

Part-led automation strategy aligns tooling, material behavior, quality checks, and production rate

Useful automation begins with the manufacturing requirements—not a predetermined machine. Infinity evaluates the complete production path so equipment and people solve the right problem together.

Automation brief Define the production path

Part risk, process behavior, required output, and downstream work establish the cell concept.

Geometry + surface

Part requirements

Features, handling surfaces, cosmetic expectations, and orientation needs shape the end-of-arm and fixture strategy.

Press + mold

Process behavior

Cycle sequence, ejection, resin behavior, and mold access define how automation enters and exits the press.

Evidence + control

Quality plan

Inspection points, defect risks, and part protection determine where verification belongs in the flow.

Volume + next step

Production goal

Required output, labor strategy, packing, assembly, and changeover needs keep the system commercially practical.

Cell choreographyInteractive production sequence

A synchronized automation cell turns every molding cycle into a controlled production sequence

Explore how one part can move from the open mold to a protected downstream handoff. The actual sequence is engineered around each program.

Production pathCycle synchronized
01Active operation
Press handoff

Extract without disrupting the cycle

The robot enters at the planned moment, grips the component at defined contact points, and clears the mold for the next controlled cycle.

  • End-of-arm tooling fits the part geometry
  • Motion is coordinated with mold and press access
  • Part surfaces stay protected during transfer

Technology + talentPurpose-built motion

Industrial robots and collaborative automation put repeatable motion where it adds value

Infinity uses robotics technologies from Yushin, Stäubli, Star Automation, Rethink Robotics, and Universal Robots across its manufacturing operations. Equipment selection follows the application, environment, and production objective.

Repetitive work

Consistent handling

Repeatable paths support predictable placement, orientation, separation, and transfer from cycle to cycle.

Protected parts

Controlled contact

Grippers and fixtures can be designed around critical surfaces and part geometry instead of relying on uncontrolled drops or bulk movement.

Skilled oversight

People solve exceptions

Automation manages planned motion while experienced team members focus on process judgment, problem-solving, changeovers, and improvement.

Electronic vision + inspectionQuality inside the flow

Electronic vision inspection verifies critical features without breaking production flow

Automated inspection pointHandle + present + verify

Infinity uses electronic vision and inspection systems to help maintain part quality. Integrating a planned inspection point can keep verification close to the same repeatable motion that presents each component.

Known presentation

Control the view

Fixtures and robotic motion present the component in a repeatable position for the intended check.

Defined decision

Check the right feature

The quality plan determines what the system evaluates and how the part proceeds after inspection.

Connected response

Route with purpose

Accepted parts can continue to packing or assembly while exceptions move into a controlled review path.

Beyond part removalDownstream value

Automated handling connects molded components to assembly and secondary operations

A useful cell can do more than remove parts. Infinity can connect molding to downstream operations so orientation, protection, inspection, and handoff are planned as one manufacturing system.

Controlled molded part Known position
Join

Assembly support

Present, fixture, and transfer components through program-specific assembly steps.

Mark

Secondary processing

Coordinate handling around laser marking, pad printing, welding, or other required operations.

Protect

Packing + transfer

Maintain orientation and part protection as finished components move to the next controlled handoff.

One production path Molding, value-added work, and inspection can be coordinated under one program team.

Specialized production settingsOne integrated campus

Automation architecture adapts to cleanroom, automotive, and industrial production

Infinity’s two specialized facilities share one Southwest Indiana campus. Automation can be configured around the requirements of each manufacturing environment and the controls of the program it supports.

Environment Configure the cell around where it runs Process / people / quality / downstream work
Medical / healthcare

ISO Class 8 cleanroom production

Controlled handling and automation can support molding and white-room assembly requirements in Infinity’s dedicated medical facility.

 Automotive

High-tolerance production programs

Robot-equipped all-electric presses and connected quality systems support demanding production and delivery expectations.

 Industrial / consumer

Flexible OEM manufacturing

Industrial robots, collaborative automation, and program-specific fixtures support repeatable tasks and varied downstream needs.

Connected executionFour disciplines / one result

Engineering, tooling, quality, and operations keep automated production connected

Automation works best when the people who understand the part, mold, process, and evidence can solve problems together. Infinity keeps those disciplines close on one campus.
