Automated mechanical system for loading and feeding two machined plates for assembly and rotating by 90˚ in Automobile Industry

© ASEE 2016Purpose of this research paper is to introduce a design of a fully automated, cost effective, high-speed mechanical system. This system will assemble two plates of a batch or lot production and deliver them for inspection. For example, in the automobile industry, this system can be used to carry out an assembly of a clutch release bearing and its hub. Automated tools like a rod less pneumatic cylinder and gripper unit, a mechanical flipper wheel, precision indexing conveyors and proximity laser sensors have been used to complete the required tasks at high-speed and with high accuracy. This system is designed and modeled using the Creo Parametric 2.0 software and its computer-aided structural analysis is carried out with the assistance of the ANSYS Workbench 16.0 software

Tooling and Fixture Design for Component Manufacturing in Automobile industry

Mass production aims at high productivity to reduce unit cost and interchangeability to facilitate easy assembly. Fixtures hold the work pieces securely in correct position with respect to the welding / machine / cutter during operation

Automated and High Speed Mechanical System for Assembling of Self Centering Release Bearing in Automobile Industries

The moto of this research paper is to design and simulation of a fully automated and high speed assembly system design for self-centering release bearing, which can reduce human efforts, time consumption and eventually cost of a final product. This system increases efficiency and production rate on an assembly line. This system has been designed by using PTC Creo 2.0 a modelling software. For the gripping purpose a self-centering gripper is used, which is designed in such a way that it holds the bearing hub with center matching technology and assemble it over self-centering release bearing within the exact tolerance zone. To control all motions of the grippers and the center matching tools the rod less pneumatic cylinders are used. At the end, the computer aided structural analysis and validation of the bearing hub and the gripper have been performed using ANSYS Workbench 16.0 to study the stresses developed and deformation pattern during the process of assembly

Automated and High Speed Mechanical System for Loading and Feeding Clutch Release Bearing and Hub for Assembly and Rotating That Assembly by 90˚ in Automobile Industries

The agenda of this research poster is to design fully automated high-speed mechanical system which should be cost effective as well. The purpose of designing this system is to assemble two plates and their inspection for a batch or lot production at high-speed. To relate this to real world application in the automobile industry, the whole operation is performed to carry out an assembly of clutch release bearing and its hub. Automated tools like rod less pneumatic cylinder and gripper unit, mechanical flipper wheel, precision indexing conveyors and proximity laser sensors have been used to complete the required tasks at high-speed and with high accuracy. This system is designed and modeled using Creo Parametric 2.0 and its computer-aided structural analysis is carried out with the help of ANSYS Workbench 16.0
