Engine Intake Manifold
- Industries: Agriculture, Automotive, Construction
- Positioning Challenges: Engine Handling
Problem:
Device must handle a variety of parts and part weights. Close work area makes it impossible to use a floor-mounted unit. Cycle time is short.
Application:
The application requires a very quick and light duty unit to assist the operator to install engine intake manifolds from a pallet stack to a moving automotive engine assembly line.
Solution:
Overhead mounted light duty X-Y rail system. Air balancer and mounting bracket. Lightweight hook-hung end-effector with quick change contact points to fit various parts.
