Seat Side Member Dial Type Assembly Automation

This Side Member Assembly & Weld Cell is a fully
automated dial type system requiring operators for
loading of panels, stocking of bowls, and
unloading of completed assemblies. The
system is designed to run six part types.
Assemblies are welded, inspected, marked,
and unloaded. Throughout the machine a
quick tooling changeover design was
implemented to allow for short runs and lean
manufacturing.
