Evana Automation ships hub assembly cell for keyless entry remotes to Tier 1 auto supplier
- December 12, 2014
- News Release
- Shop Management
Evana Automation Specialists, Evansville, Ind., has shipped a hub assembly cell for keyless entry remotes to a Tier 1 automotive supplier. The cell comprises two linear slides.
The first slide contains a verification station, press station, and laser etch station. The operator loads a printed circuit board (PCB) and keyless remote housing into a part nest and activates the system with a finger switch. The part nest automatically moves to the verification station, where a vision camera verifies that the correct parts are in the nest before reporting the findings. If everything is correct, the part automatically moves to the press station, where the PCB and housing are pressed together.
Next, the part nest moves to the laser etch station, where part information is laser etched onto the part. Upon completion, the part nest moves back to the verification station where it is inspected for correct part orientation, and the results are reported. Successfully assembled parts return to the operator, who removes them and loads them into the part nest on slide number two.
The second slide contains a verification station and screw station. With the part loaded into the part nest, the operator places a cover onto the keyless remote housing and activates the system via a finger switch. The part nest automatically moves to a verification station, where a vision camera verifies that the correct cover has been placed on it and that it is the correct color before reporting the findings. If everything is correct, the part automatically moves to the screw station, where the cover is automatically screwed to the housing. The part nest then moves back to the verification station where it is inspected for screw orientation and the results are reported.
