Rear Axle Adjustment System
Fori Germany recently designed, manufactured and supplied a new rear suspension adjustment stand for the Audi Brussels plant. The rear axle is delivered by an existing conveyor system and automatically
raised to the setting position. Once located, the suspension is clamped and the measurement of the camber takes place without contact. After the suspension is located the installed vehicle force is applied to the module, force displacement is included within the equipment to simulate vehicle loading.
Once the measurement is complete, the required adjustment is completed automatically by appropriate torque units. After completing the adjustment 
process, the rear axle is placed back on the tool carrier and extended out of the protected area of the adjustment cell.
Consists of the following components:
• Protective safety fencing
• Rear suspension adjustment system
• Contactless measurement device
• Auto-torque for adjustment
• Device to simulate actual vehicle weight during adjustment
The bushing press system includes two tooling modules, one to produce left hand modules and one to produce right hand modules. The system includes a single press in the center of the equipment to product either configuration of product. The press system supplied utilizes a 
bushings.
Start of production for the equipment was during the 1st quarters of 2019. The system provided improved production rate versus more manual methods of bushing insertion.
