Designing an Automatic Machine to measure Diameters and heights on a finished Engine Tappet Cup to sort for Accept or Reject dispositions and then Laser Mark on the Accepted part data from Measurement with date stamp.
A fully Automatic Machine to measure Diameter in two planes (For Diameter Size and Taper), Crown of Tappet dimension and the Top area Thickness in a continuous rotary indexing machine and convey the parts on separate conveyors if Okay or Not Okay. Outgoing Okay part to be inverted below a Laser Marking Head and inscribed with thickness value Class and the Julian date.
Fully Automatic Process. Changeover for two part numbers. Zero defect end-of-line Inspection Machine for 100% Outgoing quality of output.
Designing a set of Assembly Stations for the Assembly of various parts that constitute a Switch Reluctance Type Motor.
A fixture based manual Press and Assembly Stations to make the progressive assembly of the Motor.
An assembly line to be flexible to make any number of variants with minor fixture changes and small batch capability.
Designing an Automatic Machine to measure Diameters and heights on a semi-finished Gear Pinion Blank to sort for Accept or Reject dispositions.
A fully Automatic Machine to measure Diameter in two planes, Measure heights of the part, Measure Parallelism and Bore Diameter and Run-Out of the Outer Diameter with respect to Bore.
Fully Automatic Process. Changeover for three-part numbers. Zero defect end-of-line Inspection Machine for 100% Outgoing quality of output.
Designing a semi-Automatic Machine to measure the Rotational Lash Value of a Drive-Axle assembly by plotting the graph of the Torque versus Angle graph and drawing tangents to arrive at the value using a software.
A semi-automatic Machine to clamp the Drive Axle on spline ends. Application of Torque through a Servo driven Worm Gear Box and measurement of Rotation angle while monitoring the torque being applied through a torque sensor in-line with the axle. The data captured and converted to a graph giving the Lash value in the Joints by computation software.
Flexible machine with sub 10% Repeatability and ideally used in the Quality Laboratory for qualifying a batch of Axles assembled with sample checked on the machine.
Designing a semi-Automatic Machine to make Needle Bearing Assembly to a Pinion with Circlip insertion. Second Operation of assembly of Pinions to Planet Shaft. Verification of Torque and auto change in tonnage for pressing depending on recipe selection by Operator during changeovers.
A semi-automatic Machine to make a Bearing assembly to a Pinion Bore with end circlips to retain. Torque checking with trip clutch arrangement. Second Press in the machine having tonnage provided by Hydraulic actuator having a servo-controlled DC Valve to change via program for two variants.
Robust Production equipment to ensure assembly, post checking and ergonomics for Operator.
Designing a set of Assembly Stations for the Assembly of various parts that constitute a 12” Hub Motor of EV-Scooter.
A fixture based manual Press and Assembly Stations to make the progressive assembly of the Motor.The processes complete the motor assembly including Bearings,Covers,Shaft,Rotor,Stator and Seals with Torque tightening of Bolts.
An assembly line to be flexible to make any number of variants with minor fixture changes and small batch capability. Poka-yoke features to protect against missed or wrong assembly. Load versus Displacement graphs in all Press Stations and ensuring all bolts are tightened to required torque.
Designing a Automatic Machine to measure and sort Bearing Ring Diameter for Size,Taper,ovality and dispose into Okay/Rework/Scrap compartments. Fast cycle within 2 seconds and sub-micron Repeatability.
A fully-automatic Machine which uses a Cam driven mechanism for moving the ring into a high-precision fixture for rotation while a gauging head checks the diameter in two planes to record the dimensions with a Marposs nano-unimar.The diameters give the size, taper and ovality of the part. The automated disposal system then moves the rings into separate chutes or a scrap box with complete tracking of disposition via sensors to ensure 100% Okay or defect disposition.
Very High precision, sub-micron repeatability below 6% of size tolerance and a 2 second Cycle time.
Designing a Automatic Machine to make Radial Clearance of a Bearing while in Rotation and classifying into Normal or C2,C3.C4 classes. Disposing scrap Bearings into a Red bin and also confirming the Inner Ring size for okay/Not Okay status.
A fully automatic Machine which works with Cam actuated loading and un-loading arrangement. Bearing in held in a precision mandrel and the load application is done with measurement using precision probes in the Outer Race and Inner Race of the Bearing. The Bearings are then diverted by the automation into the output chute or swiped into V Blocks on the machine depending on the Bearing clearance classes. Rejected Bearings drop into a Red Bin container box.
High precision checking arrangement. Automated ,movements and zero defect disposition. Repeatability within 10% of tolerance of Radial Clearance
The complete Mechanical Fixturing with Part locaters and the Robot traverse Servo driven Gantry were designed and built by Lucid Engineering for Madox Technologies. The integrated Robotic Weld project delivered to Gandhi Automation. This Robotic Cell reduced the total cycle time of Building one Factory Dock Leveller from 8 hours to 1.5 hours and resolved the productivity issue for the customer greatly. Besides making the process ergonomic by way of welding fume inhalation and providing product consistent in quality.
The versatile and light weight motorised Gripping Arm attached to the tending Robot designed and built by Lucid Engineering for Madox Technologies is now functioning in full automation at ITC Bangalore. The gripping arm can perform several functions including adapting to different sizes of Carton boxes, lift and invert the Box without crushing the contents yet hold the box and invert. Effectively relieving humans from the activity which makes them prone to health disorders caused by inhaling tobacco fumes from the bale.
