Custom Parts for Automated Assembly

Among many assembly options, automated assembly is often the method of choice for many of our customers. Automated placement is used for projects with very high volumes where precise placement is critical. Automated assembly also significantly increases assembly speed and efficiency.

Marian designs and manufactures custom parts for automated assembly to fit seamlessly into our customers’ existing assembly processes. We can also modify many different aspects of the final part and packaging from liner type, part spacing and orientation, and quantity of parts per roll.

Marian and AccuPlace Partnership

Marian is the leading Value Added Reseller for AccuPlace Automation Machines, selling over 100 machines in 10 years.

In addition to manufacturing custom parts for automated assembly, we partner with Accuplace to offer precision placement of finished parts.

The parts that we manufacture continue to get smaller and smaller. Designing a small, complex part is one thing, but considering how to place them becomes an even bigger challenge. Our partnership with AccuPlace is a natural fit, offering our customers a complete solution.
