Auto Component Processing
Optimizing Automotive Parts Manufacturing; Enhancing Precision and Efficiency
Custom machinery in automotive parts automation is specifically engineered to address unique requirements of specific processes or tasks within production lines. Unlike standardized equipment, these systems are tailored to handle particular components, assemblies, and production criteria. This high degree of customization enables enhanced flexibility and adaptability, allowing manufacturers to execute complex operations with superior precision.
Equipment example
Flexible saw cutting equipment
An operator (or a robot) places the steering knuckle or control arm onto the loading slide fixture and presses the start button. The loading slide then transports the workpiece to be ground and sawn to the robot pickup position via the fixture. A camera captures an image, and the robot picks up the workpiece based on the photographed position. After pickup, a second image is taken for positioning to obtain the exact grasping point. The robot then moves the grasped workpiece to the sawing station for sprue cutting. Once the sprue is removed, the workpiece is transferred to the grinding station for finishing. After grinding is completed, the robot gripper places the workpiece onto the conveyor, which transports it to the manual unloading position.
