Semi-Automatic Assembly Device for Car Stepped Door Stop

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper shows a new approach of the assembly device design, as a combination of product complexity analysis, the level of automation imposed by the company business strategy and assembly device complexity analysis. The proposed assembly process flowchart contains a hybrid method to assembly balls, springs, plastic covers and safety locks into the box of the stepped mechanisms of car door. To increase the productivity correlated with costs reduction, it chooses a semi-automatic method based on the PLC automatics which commands with the help of pneumatics. The device assembly principles will be established and with the help CAD software the device model will be performed.
