QM Systems Flexible Assembly Aids, Q-MAC 1, 2 and 3:

Flexible assembly stations to suit your production requirements

The QM Systems Multi-Motion Assembly Carousel (Q-MAC) assembly aid range

As a bespoke automation provider, most of our projects are 1-off designs, the Q-MAC range breaks away from that, being supplied to customers as a flexible product range.

The Q-MAC range allow the safe and efficient production of assemblies of up to 400kg. We can customise fixtures, tooling, line speeds and integrate MES software to give you perfect production capabilities. We currently have Q-MACs in the Automotive and Marine markets, producing seating, engines and gearboxes, using up to 30 stations at 27m in length.

Q-MAC 1 – Features a manual track, each assembly station is moved along by the operator, by pushing it across to the next interlocking station.

Q-MAC 2 – Siemens servo-driven , each assembly station is moved along by the operator pressing a manual or HMI button. The stations are in a fixed pitch.

Q-MAC 3 – Siemens servo-drive, but features pneumatic drive engagement, giving independent station indexing, allowing dwell or buffer stations to enable line balancing.

QM Systems Q-MAC 1

Q-mac systems is a revolutionary new way of construction that will revolutionize how buildings are designed and built. QMs modular design enables easy expansion, while control options such as automatic interlocking stations provide increased safety for employees in the workplace

The modern factory is a hive of automated machines, performing tasks at blistering speeds. However, even in the age of automation there are still tasks that require human intervention. One such task is the manual assembly of parts.

In a manual assembly process, each assembly station is moved along by the operator, by pushing it across to the next interlocking station. This process can be slow and labor-intensive, and it can be difficult to maintain consistent quality across all stations.

Recently, however, a new type of machine has been developed that automates the manual assembly process. This machine, called a Q-MAC 1, features a manual track, each assembly station is moved along by the operator, by pushing it across to the next interlocking station.

The Q-MAC 1 has several advantages over traditional manual assembly methods. First, it is much faster than traditional methods, allowing operators to move more parts through the process more quickly. Second, it is more consistent than traditional methods, ensuring that all parts are assembled to the same high standards. Third, it is easier to use than traditional methods, requiring no specialized training or expertise.

The Q-MAC 1 is a game-changing machine that will revolutionize the way we assemble parts manually. It is sure to become a staple of factory floors everywhere, making the manual assembly process faster, more consistent and easier to use.

If you're in the market for an automated machine that can handle a variety of tasks, QM Systems' Q-Mac line is a great option. The Q-Mac 2 and 3 both offer multi-axis rotational capability, allowing for product orientation that is precise and flexible. Additionally, they both include a variable speed drive (VSD) which gives you more control over the manufacturing process. Whether you need to produce a large quantity of products or just a few, the Q-Mac will get the job done quickly and efficiently. And if there is ever a utility failure, don't worry – these machines can be manually operated.

QM SYSTEMS Q-MAC 2 & 3 provide an automated option for product orientation with its multi-axis rotational capability. These machines can be equipped with a VSD to provide variable speed drive, which allows for flexibility in the number of stations and the pitch distance between them. The Siemens Control and Drive system offers reliable performance and can manual operated in case of utility failure.

When it comes to automated machines, there are few that are as versatile as the QM Systems Q-Mac 2 & 3. These machines are capable of multi-axis rotational capability, allowing for product orientation in a variety of ways. They also feature variable speed drives, which means that the speed at which products are processed can be adjusted as needed. Additionally, the number of stations and the pitch distance between them can be varied, giving companies maximum flexibility in terms of production. Finally, the Siemens control and drive system provides reliable and consistent operation, even in the event of a power failure. In short, the QM Systems Q-Mac 2 & 3 are essential tools for any company looking to increase its production efficiency.

When it comes to automated machines, there is no one better suited to talk about them than QM Systems. For over 25 years, they have been manufacturing some of the most advanced and reliable machines in the world. Among their many products is the Q-Mac 2 & 3, two highly advanced rotational machines.

The Q-Mac 2 & 3 are multi-axis machines that can rotate products in order to optimize their orientation. This is a key feature, as it can often improve the quality and speed of the manufacturing process. Additionally, these machines are equipped with Siemens control and drive systems, which give operators precise control over every aspect of the machine's operation.

What's more, the Q-Mac 2 & 3 are also capable of variable speed operation. This means that they can be adapted to meet the specific needs of each individual production line. And if there is ever a problem with the power supply, these machines can be operated manually thanks to their built-in hand crank.

In short, the QM Systems Q-Mac 2 & 3 are versatile, reliable, and easy to operate rotational machines that can improve the quality and efficiency of your production process.
