the brief

To provide a completely automated cell that lubricates the spigot and presses on a suspension bush to a control arm.

The cell utilities the latest in Siemens PLC control to accurately apply lubrication and press the components together to a strict tolerance. The cell fixturing top is designed to ensure accurate and repeatable positioning of parts for guaranteed results.

Cycle time = <20 seconds.

the brief

To invent and supply a bespoke lifting system capable to safely raising a sports car from two points. AIE developed a unique system to raise and lower the vehicle from 150mm to 1100mm. The system used two lifters, 1 front and 1 rear that are linked via continuous feedback from laser positioning devices. The system is fully compliant to the relevant vehicle lifting legislation BS EN 1493 2010.

the brief

The complete supply of a new scissor lift mounted conveyor system to remove the current, potentially hazardous, manual body removal via a FLT.

AIE needed to integrate two vehicle body receipt lines into an existing facility whilst not impacting production. Rigorous design, simulation and testing ensured a successful project delivery.
