Assembly & Verification Station
By performing fixed repetitive motions to assemble parts and/or products, automated assembly lines can provide precision accuracy and repeatability to any manufacturing facility.
CHALLENGE
New manufacturing process to place a highly visible part with extreme accuracy and then verify the placement. The part will be visible to the end customer and is located with adhesive requiring a one-touch process.
SOLUTION
Implement a semi-automated system that utilizes spring-loaded alignment fixtures to ensure proper placement of multiple panels. Ensure exact placement of assembly part through additional spring-loaded alignment fixtures. A single press stamps the product down onto the panels and holds long enough for adhesive to adhere. The full assembly is then moved to a second station by the operator for a camera inspection and receives a stamp of accuracy.
