HyperCyl Case Study: Removing Hydraulics from the Equation for Assembly
Comments Off on HyperCyl Case Study: Removing Hydraulics from the Equation for AssemblyA major U.S manufacturer of braking and suspension components contacted HyperCyl® to increase quality of their finished products and free up floor space for a new assembly line. The OEM was experiencing persistent assembly interruptions due to their Hydraulic Dial Tables’ inability to monitor & relay actual insertion forces & distances. Additional floor space was also necessary to make room for a new product assembly line, so removing the noisy pumps, balky accumulator tanks, high-heat motors and leaking hydraulic lines associated with the antiquated hydraulics was essential.
HyperCyl® retrofitted the entire Dial Table, removing all hydraulic cylinders and replacing with Hydra- Pneumatic cylinders operated by simple pneumatic valves. Each dial location now includes the integral LVDT and Load Cell options demonstratively called IntelliCyl® along with the HyperView-Press® Signature Analysis Monitor. The HyperCyl® solution actively measures the stud & bearing insertion depth by establishing a series of “windows” around critical points of the operation, namely the part stack-up (part contact) and final depth. ONLY when critical stack up “window” was confirmed would high pressure then activate to finalize the part. This provided key measurement of the operation ultimately reducing in-process part non-conformance to near-zero.
Aries Engineering/HyperCyl® was able to accommodate this OEM’s needs and reduce overall operating costs by removing outdated hydraulics and free up floor space in the process. We can also help you improve the quality of your product while reducing your costs and allowing your business to maintain the competitive edge.
