Abstract:
Disclosed are assembly line equipment maintenance devices and methods. A maintenance cart (120) is selectively engaged to a transport conveyor and integrated into a moving assembly line. The cart can include maintenance tools (156) to refurbish robot end effector tools or replacement tools engageable by robot wrists. The maintenance or replacement tools can include a variety of maintenance equipment including weld tip dressing tools (160), weld force gauges (164), replacement weld guns (168), and test coupon disks (170).
Abstract:
A method and apparatus may be present for processing parts. A first part may be positioned in a first position. A first number of features may be formed on the first part using a feature forming system at a number of points for attachment to a second part. The second part may be positioned in a second position relative to the first position for assembly of the first part with the second part. A second number of features may be formed on the second part at the number of points for attachment to the first part using the feature forming system.
Abstract:
A flexible, multi -product, multi - technology, expandable facility for manufacturing products, such as biologicals, pharmaceuticals, or chemicals, and manufacturing processes using elements of such a facility. The manufacturing system comprises a core adapted to supply two or more utilities and two movable manufacturing bays adapted to be removably coupled to the core.
Abstract:
Bei einer Tiefziehmaschine bzw. Thermoformmaschine zur Herstellung von diversen Gegenständen, Behältern, Verpackungen oder dgl. aus thermoformbaren Kunststoffen werden Kunststoffzuschnitte in Festhalteeinrichtungen, insbesondere in Spannrahmen (1) , angeordnet und diese sind relativ zu den Bearbeitungsstationen bewegbar. Die Festhalteeinrichtungen bzw. Spannrahmen (1) sind hiebei voneinander getrennt bzw. unabhängig und die Bearbeitungsstationen sind entlang von wenigstens zwei, insbesondere parallel zueinander angeordneten Reihen bzw. Linien angeordnet bzw. Positioniert.
Abstract:
A module transporting mechanism (1), comprising a lift means for delivery (6) moving a module assembled in a sub line (SL) through the underside of the floor surface (FL) of a main line (ML), a slide mechanism (5) moving the module parallel thereto under the floor of the main line (ML), and a lift means for assembly (4) raising the module received from the slide mechanism (5) to the position for assembly of a body (F).
