building in Salisbury, North Carolina. The facility includes 6,400 sq. ft. of
office space with a fully equipped lab, a 2,000 sq. ft. training room, a 3,600
sq. ft. paint facility and 32,000 sq. ft. of Manufacturing floor space, of which,
10,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing floor space is fully air conditioned and prepped
for facilitating clean environment equipment builds for the Medical and Pharmaceutical
Industries. We have multiple conference rooms equipped with the latest technology
in communications so we can host and accommodate meetings for our customer’s
machine and automation needs regardless of the Industry.
Our experience includes automation in the Automotive, Medical, Computer, Agricultural,
Material Handling, Packaging, Industrial and Consumer markets. With a background
inclusive of the Injection, Thermo Forming, Compression, Extrusion, Blow Molding
and the Rotary Molding Industries we have extensive experience in automating
parts/processes for your secondary needs including the Assembly, Machining,
Painting, Decorating, Inspection and Material Handling of various parts produced
in the Plastics Industry.
Since inception, we have been fortunate to become an OEM for the largest plastic
joining company in the world and have become firmly entrenched with the local
plastics molding market. Through our OEM status we have produced hundreds of
machines that are in use all over the world, for many different molders, in
many different industries.
We began as a group that had its roots in the Plastics Industry. Our ability
to produce exceptional equipment is derived from having a well-trained, experienced
staff with hands on experience in the plastics industry. This, in conjunction
with our approach to business allows for a smooth transition from machine conception
to production. Each project will be assigned a Project Engineer who will interface
with the customer and control all facets of the machine design and fabrication
from start to finish. A Gantt Chart will be created for every project and used
to control the timing of all aspects of each project.
We design all of our equipment in the 3D solids CAD package Solidworks. Through
design reviews, all aspects of the design can be evaluated by the customer
and changes can be made before the fabrication of any components. Once the
design has been approved, the solid models are turned into detailed 2D drawings
and/or data that are used by our machine shops, suppliers and technicians for
fabrication. Once all the components have been produced, the parts have been
checked and all the appropriate coatings have been applied, the assembly process
begins.
The electrical design, panel building, field wiring and programming are all
done in conjunction with the mechanical build as well as the procurement of
any purchased components. Once each machine is built, it is thoroughly adjusted
and tested prior to holding an in-house buyoff with the customer present.
TurnKey is capable of designing and building within your provided company specifications
or, if not provided, we will build to the specification of the TurnKey Standard.
From a controls and interface standpoint TurnKey can accommodate machine builds
utilizing any of the Allen Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, B&R, Automation
Direct, Modicon, Omron, or Unitronics platforms.
