  • Patent number: 6658316
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for creating products of varying characteristics on an automated production line. The system includes one or more production line devices, for example robots and machines. Each robot and machine is operated by a parametric computer program. The system also comprises one or more data source(s) coupled to the production line devices. The data source provides characteristics of a desired product to the production line devices. The system may also include a computer coupled to the production line devices and to the data sources. The computer may route the inputted characteristics to each of the production line devices in a logical order. The computer also may convert the characteristics into a formatted file readable by the parametric computer program, for example a MDF.

  • Patent number: 6371362
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method for attaching a device to an inside wall of an enclosure. The device is removably attached to a positioner. Where the device includes a metal substance, it may be attached to the positioner by a magnet affixed to the positioner, for example. A first motor-operated moving device moves the enclosure such that the device abuts an inside wall of the enclosure. A second motor-operated moving device, for example a robot, then attaches the device to the inside wall of the enclosure. Where the enclosure and the device are composed of metal, the two may be welded together. In this instance, the first motor-operated moving device may be a non-robotic, motor-operated moving device that provides a ground path for the weld.

  • Patent number: 6311535
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system that creates a hole with an embossed base in a planar sheet. The system comprises an embossing punch that forms a raised area in the planar sheet, a hole punch coupled to the embossing punch that forms a hole in the planar sheet, and a surface for holding the planar sheet. The surface has an aperture that permits the hole punch and the embossing punch to pass through the surface and contact the planar sheet.
