As the safety requirements of the automotive industry become more stringent and the scope of the wheel/tire combination is further expanded, engineers from Schenck, the market leader in global balance and diagnostic systems from Germany, constantly review each process and commit to research and development. An efficient solution.
Recently, Schenck announced that it has once again launched a high-efficiency, multi-purpose solution for zero-inventory production in the field of vehicle assembly: a new fully automatic wheel/tire assembly line. The assembly line efficiently and reliably meets all wheel assembly requirements from 14-inch wheels for compact vehicles to 23-inch wheels for premium luxury vehicles with a highly reliable process and maximum reliability, and automated hybrid assembly .
Meeting ever-increasing wheel assembly requirements High-volume wheel assembly production is one of the key processes in the final assembly of today's cars, requiring maximum flexibility in every process. Increasing vehicle styles and automotive structural features have also increased the variety of wheels and placed higher demands on assembly. At the same time, increasingly stringent quality and safety requirements, including tire pressure control systems, wheel optimization and uniformity testing, have greatly increased assembly costs.
In the assembly process of the new automatic wheel/tire assembly line, the robot puts the lower tire lip on the rim, and the upper tire lip is mounted 360 degrees with a more traditional tire arm, which can accurately position the tire and the rim for automatic assembly. Will not be damaged.
Robot-based assembly: With the help of high-end tire machines, tires and rims can be fully assembled without damage.
After assembly, the inflated wheels will enter the VENTUO multi-ring inflator through the conveyor belt for inflation. The new assembly line inflator is equipped with up to six inflatable rings, each of which covers two wheel sizes and can be ready in two seconds. Different sizes of tires with diameters of 14 to 23 inches can be completed in about seven seconds. Inflated. Once the wheel is fully inflated, the system adjusts the wheel pressure load for automatic optimization and checks for minimum force fluctuations and geometrical deviations of the wheel through a uniformity test.
Another highlight of the assembly line is that the robot's use of the unbalanced calibration station automatically and accurately affixes the weight to the inside of the rim. The CAB 950st Measurement Control System, specifically for wheel assembly lines, provides accurate balance test data and balance corrections. The robot accurately dispenses the balance block based on the balancer test results, providing maximum process reliability. At the same time, the robot's application also reduced the beat of the balance correction station from 10 to 14 seconds to 7 seconds.
Fully automated imbalance correction: The robot accurately pastes the balance block to the desired position based on the test results of the balancer.
Comprehensive maintenance measures ensure efficient system operation Schenck's “fingerprint†analysis tool is standard as a wheel balancer integrated into the assembly line. Based on existing CAB measurement technology and vibration sensors, it can quickly identify any changes on the system for Monitor the entire system and take appropriate maintenance measures, and accurately identify wear, failure or damage, in order to detect potential problems at an earlier stage, and plan appropriate maintenance measures to avoid unexpected downtime to a large extent, thereby improving The efficiency of the entire system.
In addition, a full range of measures and services, including dedicated maintenance protocols, “fingerprint†analysis, remote maintenance and 24-hour hotline, ensure high availability of new wheel assembly lines. As a market leader in global balance and diagnostic systems, Schenck has a service team of more than 200 technicians to ensure rapid repair and supply of consumables and spare parts.
At present, Schenck's new automatic wheel/tire assembly line has been widely used in Germany, such as BMW and Benchi. Shanghai Schenck Machinery has always worked closely with its European headquarters to continuously introduce advanced European technology into China and to innovate and develop according to the needs of the Chinese market. Nowadays, the official application of this equipment in China marks that Shanghai Schenck will usher in a new milestone in the field of balancing technology in the tire production line.
