Examples of Custom Machines We Build

line-3-1

Welders

We investigate and thoroughly understand your needs and your product before making a welding recommendation. 

 

Robotic Welding Cells

We have a wide range of automated welding machines our team utilizes with a variety of welding styles, and our technicians are trained in the latest welding and automation techniques. We offer expertise in both metal and plastic welding, GMAW, resistance, laser, ultrasonic, and friction welding.

 

Gages and Test Equipment

Test systems are important to verify the proper functioning of your equipment and to insure that out-of-spec parts are identified for rework or disposal. Cardinal can design and build special test systems as stand-alone machines or integrated into multi-station lines.

 

Gas Fill Airbag Inflator Assemblies

Initially developed in the 1990s for the ride control industry, our unique approach to the gas filling of stored gas inflator products has made Cardinal Machine Company an industry leader in gas fill technology. Currently, multiple customers within ride control (shock absorbers and struts) and airbag inflator industries utilize Cardinal gas fill technology. In simplest terms, the product is fixtured, filled with compressed gas, and resistance welded to seal the stored gas. Fill pressures can range from 50-20,000 psi. This is done at production speeds to a high degree of accuracy. Our airbag systems often include ancillary processes such as; automatic load/unload, proofing (filling product above design pressure to test integrity), and post weighing (verifying fill accuracy via weight), and venting (creating an inert product from out-of-specification parts)
