Fiam designed and manufactured a machine to feed automatically and fasten small size grubs. Inner grub locking brake pump piston on bikes and motorbikes.
Scope of solution:
Bowl feeder customized according to the grub
Linear guide customized in order to feed the grubs
Optical sensor to control loading level of linear guide
Grub automatic picking station
Upon sensing grub presence through optical sensor, the grub is separated and pushed by a pneumatic piston into the motor holding nosepiece
Fastening nutrunner motor with automatic shut-off clutch built-in on a two strokes fastening slide.
The customer will in turn install the slide on a positioning device or robot which is part of an existing assembly line.
This pick & place solution highly speeds up production by eliminating all manual handling of such a small threaded element, saving about 62% of time needed before.
This video, through an example of a scaled drawing of a column and base plate, shows many of the standards for hand sketching, such as symbols and abbreviations. Additionally, it gives practical structural engineering advice for clear communication and problem solving. Through the example, viewers will see how a simple sketch can sometimes save much trouble and time by discovering issues before they become a problem in the field.
