DEPRAG – For fully automated and efficient production
Mounting of heat shields in the engine area
Process Required:
Rotary index table with
- automatic feeding and positioning of sleeves and washers
- press-fit into the part
- classification of defective parts
- automatic transport of finished parts on a conveyor
Station 1: manual loading
- Two sleeves are manually loaded into the workpiece fixture (two different diameters can be processed)
- A sensor verifies that the parts are there and that the correct parts (per diameter test) are loaded (start condition).
- Place the part over the sleeves
Station 2: Automatic feeding and positioning of the washing machines
- Feeding of the washing machines (two different varieties) by vibrating basin
Station 3: pressure insertion
- Press Insertion (crimping) of the sleeve and washer in the center part, using a hydraulic power pack (process monitoring with oil pressure switch for force control)
- Turntable support for press insertion procedure
- Good parts are marked with a center punch (defective parts are not marked).
Station 4: unloading station
- Test Station:
Sleeves that have a collar that is too short because they were not crimped correctly in Station 3 remain on the part fixture. - Removal of defective parts
- Correctly assembled parts are stacked on the conveyor
- Conveyor transport is controlled by sensors
