SCOPE OF WORK

These systems have multiple stations in 2 conveyor loops for build up of both the IVB & OVB. These new systems replace the current process in which is difficulty of part tracking and inspection.

No image provided to analyze.

SOLUTION

Conveyor Loop Two separate conveyor loops which have multiple build stations.

Pallet Lifts Pallet lifts will be at each of the stations for the operator to build up the part and have camera inspection.

Part Fixtures Unique pallets were designed for both the IVB & OVB. These pallets hold 2 different parts and allow the part to be rotated at 90 degree increments in order to be built from the top.

Part Inspection Integrated cameras are designed in throughout the stations to verify correct build of the parts.

FEATURES & SPECIFICATION

  • AI-enabled smart camera inspection at every build station, verifying the correct component was loaded into the correct location before the pallet advances.

  • Custom rotating pallet tooling with 90-degree indexing, allowing multiple product variants to be built from a single pallet design.

  • Palm-button hold-and-release controls requiring operator confirmation before a pallet is released to the next station.

  • Automated clip and fastener insertion station with dual feeders and camera-verified placement.

  • Integrated dunnage storage and lift tables to keep components staged and within reach at each build position

  • Siemens HMI, swing-arm mounted for operator accessibility.

  • Fully guarded stations with interlocked access, including swing gates for line-side maintenance access.
