Axles to Carrier: Hydraulic Press
Scope Input:
- Capable of running three vehicle platforms: press four differing steel axles into three styles of carriers
- Change over between platforms to be less than 20 minutes.
- Capable of pulling axles out of the carrier (after being pressed in)
- Press-in force target between 11,000 and 35,000 lbs-force.
Results Output:
- Designed to GDT and reversed engineered to parts. Math data reciept after build complete.
- Axle press depth tune-in via CMM part results carried back to the machine for adjustments.
- Found axles to be warped yet machine would still press axles into carrier.
- Changeover of less than 2 minutes between part platforms.
