WHEEL SUPPLY

Sector
Automotive
Cliente
Volkswagen

Installation developed for automating the supply of wheels to the assembly installation. The containers with six rollers with four wheels are deposited on a discharge system that feeds the entire line.

Necesidad Planteada

Installation developed for automating the supply of wheels to the assembly installation. The containers with six rollers with four wheels are deposited on a discharge system that feeds the entire line.

Solución

Wheel supply system with model traceability and security strategies. The entire accumulation system is designed as a lung that accumulates wheels for the benefit of logistics and possible incidents.

CONTAINER UNLOADING SYSTEM
Robust structure on which the container is deposited with rollers with wheels (6x4).


WHEEL DESTACKER STATION
System that unstacks the 4-wheel rollers to feed the line.

VISION CONTROL STATION
Control and vision station that identifies the tire model and distributes the wheels on each side of the line.

MODULAR ROLLER SYSTEM
Modular transport system of 800x800mm.

Ventajas
Improvement in Ergonomics, feeding the installation by means of containers and electric forklifts. In addition, accidents are avoided in the work of direct manipulation of the rollers with wheels.
Improvement in Quality, by incorporating the pressure control ensures the tightening torque, the traceability of the VIN number is verified and the rework produced by failures in the tightness tests is eliminated.
Reduction of incidents, the backup systems incorporated both in the duplication of stations, (Wheel unstacker) motorization and sensors reduce the risk of stops in the production line.
Improved Productivity, the lung accumulation system increases the autonomy time of the line by 20 minutes, which benefits the operator who has more time to carry out other logistics processes.
