Main manufacturing system
Manufacturing process
- Twin carcass drums optimize cycle time distribution between component application and dynamic stitching plus unloading by manipulator.
- Two dedicated bead setting and turn-up stations are connected to the carcass building station via automatic manipulators and high-speed guides.
- Transfer devices pick up the air spring carcass from the drum and transfer it to the turn-up station.
- Positioning of the carcass is executed automatically by the manipulator while a center lock device holds it in position during bead setting and turn-up.
- The manipulator removes the finished green air spring from the turn-up station and brings it to the unloading station.
- Finished green air springs from both turn-up stations are automatically unloaded by manipulators, with material application controlled by sensors and cameras.
Market
Air springs are widely utilized in heavy-duty vehicle suspension systems, amusement park rides, packaging equipment, clutch systems, and conveyor belts. The global market is growing steadily with strong demand in automotive applications.
