SME MS900826

IN 1989, AN AUTOMATED ASSEMBLY LINE WAS DESIGNED FOR A SPANISH BALL-BEARING MANUFACTURER. FOR THE MOST COMPLEX MODELS, EIGHT OPERATIONS WERE NECESSARY. INDEPENDENT STATIONS WERE DESIGNED TO GET A MODULAR SYSTEM, AND ALLOW MANUAL OPERATION IF NEEDED. MANY COMPONENTS, LIKE MANIPULATORS AND SOME FEEDERS HAD TO BE NON-STANDARD BECAUSE OF THE WIDE RANGE OF SIZES. FINALLY, MOST FIXINGS HAD TO BE REDESIGNED FOR AUTOMATION WORK AS STANDARD ELEMENTS WERE NOT FOUND TO MEET THE REQUIRED FLEXIBILITY.
