Automotive Assembly Systems -- Assembly Line for Suspension Modules
On Dec 10, 2019/By Fori Automation, LLC/In Assembly Systems, Module Alignment, Module Assembly System
Fori retrofitted an existing assembly line to accommodate the integration of a new vehicle platform.
The required changes to the existing front corner, rear corner, rear main line, and front main line were accompanied by many challenges, including:
- An increase of jobs per hour (62 jobs per hour)
- Minimal downtime during retrofit
- Increased product complexity
- Rework of two existing module aligners
During extensive layout and process reviews, all areas that required rework were identified so a plan could be developed to add field kits which consisted of new portions of assembly line. In order to be flexible and to accommodate the heavy variation in product, a number of robotic torque applications were added each with a common trombone torque tool to be utilized on all module complexity types.
In order to accommodate the new product, two additional aligners were reworked from another customer plant and installed on a new conveyor section of the assembly line.
