Project 522: Transfer
Case Assembly Line
|
Application: |
Assembly
line and equipment to assemble and test two models of transfer cases used in 4-wheel drive
vehicles. Product
to be kitted onto kit pallet in one area of line then “married” with an assembly pallet.
Allow for growth to add new product in future. Ten month time-line from
concept to installation on customer floor.
|
|
Equipment: |
The
Christopher Stephen Corporation fully integrated the
following equipment: Non-Synchronous, accumulator conveyor;
assembly presses; bearing assembly machine; fully automated
Fanuc RTV dispenser robot; fully automated Fanuc bolt torque
station.

Project
829: Assembly
Line
|
Application: |
Design
an assembly line to accommodate up to 16,000 model
variations of one product.
First phase of project includes development of build
and assembly pallets that will “work” for all models,
conveyor line layout and integration, installation of
lighted pick bins and shelving to accommodate on-line parts,
two part clamping stations for torquing, and a roll-over
station (required due to the weight of part).
All other necessary equipment will be used from
existing assembly cell.
|
|
Equipment: |
First
phase of project required establishing communications
between new line and existing MIS data system, where
information for each model being built is established and
“sent down” to
the line. Conveyor
line consists of three legs:
30’ long, 42’ long, and 112’ long. Pallets are
returned to respective build and kit portions of the
conveyor on the underneath side.
Twenty stations with a PanelView HMI at each station.
Speastech Smart Frames and Smart Gates used to ensure
correct parts are kitted. |
