Transmission Housing

This system consists of two (2) robots managing part handling for automation. Various end-of-line operations are performed in this cell such as leak testing, bushing pressing, contact probe gaging, vision inspection, and part stamping for classification.

• The assembly, testing, and gaging process was too labor intensive.
• Critical end-of-line machining processes require reliable and repeatable verifications.
• System capable of running both cases and covers, all in one manufacturing system.

eAxle Gearboc

This system consists of six (6) robots maintaining all EOL processes and inspections. Processes include plug press, leak test, contact probe inspections (including diameter, position, flatness, distance and profile measurements), and a camera vision inspection. Parts are then packed out of the cell accordingly in a seamless inline fashion.

• Critical end-of-line machining processes require reliable and repeatable verifications.
• Parts required 100% measurement and leak test for all parts in the production volume.
• The manufactured components required a method of data acquisition and part traceability.
