Assembly & Quality Assurance

In-house hardware insertion, electromechanical build-ups, and detailed inspection ensure every Apparatus metal assembly arrives plug and play ready.

Why ship a kit when you can ship a solution?

In Dutchess County and across the Tri-State area, a chassis built to spec still falls short if the remaining pieces arrive in separate boxes. Apparatus extends the finish line to a turnkey metal assembly, ready for deployment. One delivery, no loose ends.

From fabrication straight to assembly.

Fresh from powder coat or passivation, components head straight to dedicated assembly benches in our Poughkeepsie facility. Each carries a digitally tracked code providing: 

 

  • Approved hardware and required insertion force
  • Torque windows for every critical fastener​
  • Seal-compression and leak-test thresholds
  • A reference photo of the finished sub-assembly for instant visual confirmation

Smart hardware insertion.

Servo-controlled presses set every stud, standoff, and nut square and true, while closed-loop sensors confirm each squeeze within three percent of its prescribed force, reliable accuracy trusted by customers across Dutchess County and the wider New York region.

Laser geometry verification. The difference in a quality, ready to deploy metal assembly

Optional laser sweeps overlay the finished build onto its native CAD model with ±0.004-inch accuracy. Green means go, yellow prompts a quick re-check, and red sends the piece back for correction. Because the scan happens before packaging, your team can focus on production instead of troubleshooting the incoming parts.

Scenario: One box deployment, half the labor

A nationwide kiosk provider would juggle three separate shipments at every rollout: metal chassis one week, cooling trays the next, small hardware by mail. Field techs needed nearly three hours just to assemble each unit before power-on. After switching to Apparatus turnkey builds, which meant frames pre-loaded with cooling tray, power supply, harnesses, and touchscreen mount, the same crew could bolt each kiosk in place, plug it in, and verify operation in about 90 minutes.

 

The result: 50 percent less onsite labor, lower freight costs, and faster revenue-ready installs.

Metrics that matter 

Closing the loop. Literally

Apparatus can finish what others leave for the field. Hardware seats to spec, cables route tidy, and every door swings square, so there are no surprises when your team unpacks the build. The payoff is simple: schedules stay on track, budgets hold firm, and your brand reputation remains rock-solid.
