Dial Index Machining and Assembly

Project Title

Automotive Die Casting – Machining & Assembly

Finished Product

Aluminum Die-cast Housing

Project Description

Automated machining and assembly cell including inline parts washer. This machine is used to perform secondary machining operations and assemble several components into an aluminum die-cast housing. From a load-dial, parts are transferred via a precision indexer around multiple horizontal and vertical machine spindles. Machined parts are indexed through a parts washer and transferred to the assembly dial. Two bushings are inserted and ball-sized. After each part is machined and assembled, the machine tests each feature and accepts or rejects parts during unload.

Features

  • 6 second machine cycle
  • Three point hydraulic part clamping
  • Servo and hydraulic spindle positioning
  • Full feature and process inspection and tracking
  • Multi-stop indexing dials with Cam-driven Pick and Place units
  • Automated material handling

Benefits

  • Increased production rate with decreased labor requirement
  • Secondary machining, parts washing, and assembly in one cell
  • Simultaneous process of both left and right hand parts
