| Assembly line for air jets |
Air nozzles can be used to control the air flow at the dashboard of every passenger car.
This component consists of a plurality of plastic parts (fins, control wheels, etc.) which need to be assembled.
This is done in an assembly line.
A double belt system is used to interlink automatic and manual workstations. The fins are sorted with the help of image processing, and handling units place them by packets into the product carrier in a fully automatic process.
Casing, control wheels and connecting links are then assembled either manually or semiautomatically.
Eight catch springs are inserted into the casings by a 5-axes gantry robot at another automatic station.
A joining force and position monitor is used for quality assurance.
After final assembly, the parts are checked for completeness, and marked using an inkjet.
Continuous process monitoring is ensured by a master computer. The central product carrier control provides access to all product carrier data at any time, and allows their statistical evaluation. A graphic process display supports easy-to-use and menu-assisted operator control and maintenance for the plant.
