TF Automation reflect on a diverse year in 2021
We had another interesting , varied and busy year in 2021 , with a wide variety of projects successfully delivered to customers across a wide range of manufacturing industries .
We have many years of working with suppliers to the automotive industry as well as with the permanent marking of components and parts for traceability and tracking purposes . One such project this year was to design and build a machine to laser mark tamper-proof labels for part identification of components for a client in the automotive racing industry .
In support of critical industries , we engineered a machine for a new client to automate the production of straps for face masks . We are now working on new projects with this client focusing on process automation , increasing productivity , improving standardisation and ensuring consistency .
A second project requirement due to the COVID pandemic was the build of a repeat machine of one produced some 15 years ago for Intersurgical ’ s plant in Lithuania . Intersurgical is a global designer , manufacturer and supplier of a wide range of high-quality medical devices for respiratory support .
TF Automation revisited the original design and have basically produced the same machine to support the existing one , using the latest technology to laser mark the manufacturer ’ s logo and product reference on their Hydroguard Mini medical oxygen filters .
We were delighted this year to launch our newly updated website , focusing on the engineering and manufacturing of bespoke special purpose machinery . The revamped site focusses on the company ’ s capabilities and expertise in a wide range of disciplines from process automation , robotics , laser marking and assembly and testing . An important new area on the site , highlighting TF ’ s vast experience , is Industries , which identifies the main sectors the company has supplied to for many years , including Automotive , Aerospace , Medical and Industrial .
