How Automation
Transforms AWP

At Automated Wire Products, the commitment to innovation and quality has always been at the core of our operations. Over the years, automation has played a pivotal role in transforming our manufacturing processes, particularly in the production of ground compression springs for the fluid power industry. The strategic investment in state-of-the-art technology has positioned AWP as a world-class manufacturer, enabling us to deliver unmatched quality and efficiency to our customers.

The Power of Advanced Technology

Central to our automated processes are six Simplex Rapid CNC coilers, each representing a significant investment in precision manufacturing. These coilers, costing between $350,000 to $450,000 each, form the backbone of our production line. They provide the capability to handle everything from quick-response prototype runs to extended production cycles, all with fully programmable setups. AWP can thus meet the varying demands of our customers with unparalleled efficiency.

Efficiency and Flexibility Through Automation

One of the most significant advantages of automation at AWP is the drastic reduction in lead times. Programmable CNC coilers, pre-setters, and grinders offer consistent part-to-part quality over years of production. The shorter setup times on these advanced machines allow us to respond swiftly to changing customer requirements. This enhanced flexibility in scheduling enables us to consistently meet our customers’ evolving needs without compromising on quality or efficiency.

Enhanced Quality Control

Quality remains the cornerstone of AWP’s operations, significantly bolstered by our automated systems. By eliminating many variables inherent in traditional manufacturing, we ensure consistent and reliable production outcomes. This focus on precision has earned AWP a reputation for delivering world-class products that consistently meet the highest standards.

Cost Savings and Scalability

Automation has led to substantial cost savings for both AWP and our customers by reducing unnecessary labor, process variability, and waste. These efficiencies allow us to offer globally competitive prices without compromising on quality. Additionally, the scalability provided by our automated systems means we can expand operations seamlessly to meet increasing demand, all while maintaining our commitment to precision and efficiency.

Leading the Industry in Automation

At AWP, we take pride in being at the forefront of automation in the spring manufacturing industry. Our investments in advanced technology have set us apart from competitors, enabling us to offer superior products and services. As we look ahead, AWP continues to explore new opportunities for automation, always with the goal of enhancing quality, productivity, and cost-effectiveness.

Rapid Prototyping and Customization

One standout benefit of our automated systems is the ability to rapidly prototype and customize ground compression springs. Thanks to CNC coiling technology, AWP can set up a new spring design in minutes, enabling us to deliver production-caliber prototypes for customer evaluation and testing within days. This capability ensures our customers receive tailored solutions that meet their specific requirements, with the assurance of quality and precision.
