ENLARGING THE ORIGINAL TEMEX LINE WITH A NEW PRODUCTION VARIANT

Name of contract:     Towing equipment assembly lines
Term of delivery:        2018

 

SPECIFICATION:
The project was implemented at the request of the customer to expand the existing line supplied by Temex in 2012 to manufacture a new type of towing equipment.

SOLUTION:
It was necessary to devise such a solution that kept both the current cycle and production of the machine. Replaceable jigs had to be produced and the line adjusted to them on site so that a quick change in jigs could be done in the shortest amount of time.

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE AUTOMATED PROCESS:

1. Turning:
Replacing the current air-operated rodless cylinders for X-Y workpiece movement (axis 1 and axis 2) – turning units for FESTO electric drives, including the control unit.
Adding new components to the electrical switchboard.
New mechanical ball support for the new S383.
Reprogramming machine operation for all existing types.
Adding new type of towing equipment to the SW.

2. Ball attachment:
• New ball support.
• Redesign of the front attachment system – collision with the new S383 – delivery of the manual clamp, including a holder.
• Adding new type of towing equipment to the SW.

3. Carousel:
• Production of new inserts for 2 loading jigs.
• New system to support the end of the towing equipment in place of the hitch – integrated into the new support insert.
• Adding new type of towing equipment to the SW.

4. Pressing of pins:
• Delivery of a new support cube for the actual ball of the towing equipment.
• Adding new type of towing equipment to the SW.

5. Lever axis drilling:
• Delivery of a new centering support jig.
• Adding new type of towing equipment to the SW.

6. Tester:
• Change in the position of the X-Y mechanism of the loading jig due to a collision with the towing equipment.
• Production of new inserts for the loading jig.
• Production of a new control lever depressor.
• Adding new type of towing equipment to the SW.

Key benefits of our solution

  • Saves financial costs for the production of a new line
  • Eliminates work-related accidents during the manual production of towing equipment
  • Saves financial costs incurred for the manual work of employees
  • Reduces scrap
