Assembly line automation – Gearbox PTO Assembly
Project Scope
Develop a standalone assembly station to streamline the process of assembling a PTO pump on a gearbox. The station will assist the operator in tasks like transferring the gearbox, removing covers, applying sealant, and testing the assembled unit. Key expectations include improved ergonomics, reduced cycle time, and enhanced quality.
Business Challenges
Manual process was slow, labour-intensive, and posed ergonomic risks.
