Duplex Assembly & Test

This machine formed an integral part of a cylinder head production machining, Assembly & Test process that operated on a ‘no fault forward’ basis. The cylinder heads were supplied to the equipment by means of roller tracking, after which the equipment proceeded to apply sealant to bores, insert cup plugs and tighten injector sleeves prior to undertaking a leak test.

Whilst the facility required a certain degree of manual involvement, the operations relating to component retention/ sealing, sealant application, assembly head positioning and leak testing were all undertaken automatically.

The machine incorporated a HMI panel to provide the operator with a process sequence instruction facility.
