Line consists of (4) operator stations, (2) automated stations
Here's how it works:
- Operator loads back frame, times transmission motor, loads on pallet, bar code scanner verifies correct variant, locks back frame on pallet, variant data is collected.
- Pallet Transfers
- Operator installs armrest bracket and torques to back frame, torque data is collected.
- Pallet Transfers
- Automated station positions transmission tube, push nuts are auto-loaded, robotic pick & place installs push nuts into tooling, tooling advances installing the push nuts onto the transmission tube. Forces and dimensional data is collected.
- Pallet Transfers
- Automated station connects power to seat back, seat back functions to all positions, sensors verify position is met, seat back is set in shipping position, testing data is collected.
- Pallet Transfers
- Operator labels back frame, scanner verifies label and sends data from all stations to plant network, pallet unlocks, operators removes back frame and packs.
