Design and Automation in Back Plug Press Fitting Process of Ball Pen Assembly

Article Preview

Abstract:

In today’s era automation in the production is a key parameter of interest. Rise in the productivity is the main aim of every industry. To sustain in the global era many companies are switching their assembly line from manual to automatic. Consequently, assembly systems should be more flexible and efficient. Even which process needs the automation should be justified to make it automatic. The amount of automation and payback period plays an important role. On that basis authors identify the back plug process needs to be automate. So an attempt is made to design an Automatic Back Plug Press Fitting Process. The paper describes the design, modeling and manufacturing aspects of this process. In automation decisions, it is necessary to consider human resources, as well as mechanical technology and information flow. The paper also includes rise in the productivity along with payback period.
