Tightening automation MVI SUBCONTRACTING SECTOR Customer’s Request: Fasten with high accuracy two types of sensors on aluminum ramps (4 different ramp models) for cooling circuits of airconditioning systems of motor vehicles. Sensors are equipped with rubber joints. Tightening must occur at torque and in depth. The presence of the joint on the sensor must be detected. System management of scrap pieces is being required. Semiautomatic assembly machine. Sensors with O-ring. Aluminium Ramp where sensors are being assembled. The solution: Semi-automatic assembly machine, foreseeing: Manual loading and unloading of the components Automatic assembly of different sensors on the different ramp types Detection of o-ring presence on sensor to be assembled Final test to check compliance of assemblies with set parameters

The post consists of: A single movement fastening slide with a DC driven nutrunner motor with torque and angle control. A feed and control unit TCS B-E ensuring data storage. A customized jig. A camera detecting O-ring presence on the sensor. Workstation designed according to CE standards in terms of safety. Operator Panel. The operator selects the type of sensor to be assembled as well as the tightening program on the control panel. He places the ramp to be assembled on the jig and the sensor in the tightening bush. A Poka-Yoke device, placed on the jig, checks the correct loading of the workpiece...
