Abstract: An insert for a turbocharger support housing is provided. The insert includes a main body having a first surface and a second surface. The first and second surfaces define a thickness of the main body therebetween. The main body is configured to mate with a wear prone surface of the turbocharger support housing. The insert also includes a plurality of projections extending from the second surface. Each of the plurality of projections has an opening communicating with the first surface and a bottom end of the projection, such that each of the plurality of projections is configured to correspond with a mounting bore on the wear prone surface.

Abstract: A method for assembling a component to a structure includes determining, by a controller, a location on the structure for a placement of the component onto the structure. The method further includes activating, by the controller, a light source to project a visual indicator onto the location. The method also includes actuating, by the controller, a robotic implement to locate and position the component at the location based on the visual indicator projected onto the location.

Abstract: A process of remanufacturing a backplate used in turbochargers is provided and includes using a mask or an anti-bonding agent and a thermal metal spray. The mask or anti-bonding agent protects the portions of the backplate from being sprayed. The thermal metal spray can be sprayed on a sealing surface of the backplate that is worn during use. Once the process is completed, the backplate can be inspected to ensure that it meets or exceeds the manufacturer's original specifications.
