Enhancing your manufacturing efficiencies and maximizing your throughput. 

Here at AIM Inc., that’s what we’re all about.  We know that if we can provide solutions to your wire forming needs and increase your profit margins while keeping you competitive in today’s ever-changing marketplace, then we have succeeded.

By constantly being innovative and responsive to the changing demands of the wire forming industry, our focus is to stay one step ahead of the competition.  We understand the obstacles that today’s wire formers face and are very aware of the trends.  New product development is at an all time high here at AIM in order to provide the products you need.

Our newest modular 3D machine is faster than ever and is extremely reliable.  Our new 3D Double Headed Bender has opened a whole new world of possibilities for forming larger 3D parts fast and of consistently high quality.  The new table top bender was introduced at the Interwire show and drew rave responses.  It will soon be a standard offering and a potential must-have product for anybody who bends wire.

And we don’t stop there… Secondary operations need to be incorporated into a work cell whenever and wherever possible.  We are doing it with welding, chamfering, in-line die systems, drilling, cold heading and threading modules; and as an integrator of Fanuc Robotics, we can move your product to other external processes quickly, precisely and automatically.

Our goal at Automated Industrial Machinery is to continually take the cost of labor out of your profit equation.  Let us help you decide if you are ready to take your manufacturing processes to the next level.  We are ready and eager to help you be open minded to the possibilities and reach higher for success in your endeavors.  At AIM… we are

“forming our future with yours”

• The increasing trend throughout plants to provide Internet/Network connections has allowed AIM to improve on its world class support. Internet/Network Connections to AIM machines provide 2 major benefits:
      1. When the machine is connected to a business network, customers can utilize AIM’s automatic backup routine to its full benefit. SmartEditor can then be configured to take a new backup and place it somewhere else on the network. It eliminates the issue of “remembering” to backup the machine. This ensures the machine data will be available and current for other employees to reference as well as providing an insurance policy against computer troubles.

      2. Internet/Network connections have also reduced troubleshooting and down time on machines drastically. Connect your machines to the internet and call AIM’s support staff to receive immediate help diagnosing a problem or answering a question about the machine. AIM’s technician will be able to provide a live window into machine operation remotely in seconds. Our experience will help your operators return to making product faster than ever.

  • AIM’s open architecture pays off in many ways.
         o Did you know you can use any computer with Windows XP/2000 to run your machine as long as it has a serial and USB port? This is surprising to many of our customers. Many customers have setup their laptops to run their machines as a backup and an added insurance policy.
         o AIM's machine flexibility lends to in field upgrades, such as the various options available with the AFM or modular style machines. But even the AFE or economy line machines have the ability for certain types of upgrades if pre-ordered. Please review your machine automation needs with a trained AIM professional.
