Single Station Semi-Automatic Flywheel Press

The Challenge: Design a semi automated assembly press for individual flywheels.

• Automatic flywheels introduction (from part washer)
• Bearing Race manually loaded
• Press cycle manually initiated
• Press verification

Parts must then be automatically transported to unload station.

Solution:

The following methods, components and technologies were implemented and integrated to provide a comprehensive solution:

• Two strand chain conveyor integrated to parts washer conveyor for automatic flywheel introduction
• Automatically locate part for pressing on centers
• Provide access to manually load bearing race
• Hydraulic pressing station using Promess force load monitoring system for press verification feedback
• Automatic part transportation to part flipping station
• Automatic part flipping for manual operator unloadding

Impact to the Customer:

• Part rate of 1 part assembled every <50 seconds
• Parts are semi-automatically assembled
• All pressing is verified using Promess force load monitoring technology
• Bad parts are automatically identified
