Automated MIG Welding Assembly System for Rear Suspension Cradles
On Apr 30, 2021/By Fori Automation, LLC/In Robotic Weld Systems
Highly flexible, automated robotic MIG welding assembly cells, consists of (3) similar lines that accommodated customers (9) different model variations.
The rear suspension cradle satisfies approximately 90% of the vehicles in this family, with its model output accurately controlled and monitored throughout each robotic weld line.
Each line possesses (21) MIG welding robots, (3) material handling robots and utilizes a minimum number of operators. The current assembly system runs consistently between 181 seconds and 150 seconds depending on which model is being processed. After completion of the robotic welding, the critical component
characteristics are machined with a pair of precision, custom machining centers.
The integration of the
MIG welding and material handling robots has decreased cycle time and increased throughput. Utilizing highly accurate machining stations and a repeatable process has also reduced waste and the quality of the final product has been greatly increased
