GPAX, Inc. is an industry leading provider of component packaging solutions that support and streamline the feeding of parts to automated assembly systems. The flexibility of our GPAX feeding system, when combined with custom designed tooling, enables us to engineer targeted solutions that accurately present packaged parts or odd-form components to pick and place machines, custom automation cell or robotic assembly equipment. Multiple packaging options include pocketed, partially pocketed and flat tape that allows large parts to sit above and below the tape surface. We stock a wide range of carrier and cover tape options, and will help you select the ideal material for your specific application. Although most applications fit within our standard 200 mm x 68 mm work envelope, we can readily engineer solutions that accommodate parts of almost any pitch and dimension with up to ±0.001" repeatable positional accuracy.

Founded over 25 years ago, GPAX, Inc. has become a leader in providing equipment that handles mechanical and electrical parts for automated assembly. Our high level of expertise and experience is reflected in our robust loading and feeding equipment. For example, our 4008A Loader is available with many standard and custom options. It has rail guides that are adjustable from 1.5” to 6.0” and 44mm to 152mm, with cycle times that vary by pitch and width of the part. This loader comes with manual part loading standard and automated loading available as a custom option. Other standard options for this product include an E-Stop and part counter.

A process engineer working in the electronics industry was looking to automate the assembly of an electronic transformer. These components were being manually assembled and volume requirements had reached a point that the current line production could not increase with demand. The biggest issue with fully automating the assembly of the product was finding the most reliable, robust system to present the transformers for assembly. A secondary issue the engineer was looking to address was the constant management of line inventory on this high volume project.

GPAX, Inc. was contacted about retrofitting its equipment for an existing assembly line. The tilt sensor was a bottle neck in the assembly process because the parts were being shipped in small containers, in very limited quantity, to protect the contact lead. Once received the parts were manually inserted.
