Pedal system assembly line

LINE FOR ASSEMBLING AND TESTING THE PEDAL SYSTEM

Name of contract:   VW MQB37
Term of delivery:     2019

SP​​​ECIFICATION:
The project was implemented at the customer’s request for a semi-automatic assembly and test line for the production of the brake pedal system for the VW MQB37v project.

SOLUTION – PARAMETERS:
Line cycle:   14 sec/unit
Capacity:     15 pallets are processed at ten stations.

DESCRIPTION OF THE AUTOMATED PROCESS:

1. Three operators insert the individual components of the pallets into pre-prepared conveyor tubs.

2. At the first station, the part is automatically affixed with its own label, which is read at each station. Each pallet is equipped with RFID technology and stores data from each station in the database.

3. The entire assembly process already takes place automatically (e.g. inserting plastic bushes into the pedals and inserting the brake pedal into the bracket).

4. Using a robot and laser, we measure the spacing between the pedals, their height and width, and store them in the database.

5. The last station, the OK/NOK manipulator, scans the label and according to the evaluation of the tester puts the part onto the OK or NOK conveyor.

BASIC CHARACTERISTICS

The transport between workstations is provided by a Bosch pallet conveyor. All assembly is done automatically without operator intervention. The operator only places the parts in the pallet into POKA YOKE jigs. This eliminates any operator error. All production data is recorded in the database.
