Fori’s integration of manufacturing execution systems with the RGC system allows the value added assembler the means to create multiple variants of brake systems. The sequenced brake systems are then assembled as requested by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and ready for installation into the vehicle.
The single loop style conveyor system consists of 13 RGCs to transport front brake corner and strut components (front vertical assembly) from incoming material dunnage through the various assembly processes including:
- Automatic hub bearing and rotor lateral runout test and assembly
- Knuckle and splash shield assembly
- Caliper installation and assembly
- Vision system inspection and verification of caliper selection and installation
- Vision verification of brake pad presence
- Automatic front coil over shock assembly
- Automatic setting of camber angle and marriage of front coil over shock to brake corner
Utilizing experienced resources, Fori developed a viable process, engineered the system, manufactured the equipment and integrated the assembly line at the end user. The module assembly system has resulted in positive results for the customer and OEM.
