Confusion ruled out TRAPO ensures reliable allocation of wheels in the manufacturing process
Design and the highest quality characterize alloy wheels.
We have not reinvented the wheel itself - but the tasks for clear, guaranteed unmistakable assignment of the wheel!
Task
Automation of the painting process with the clear mission of relieving workers in this physically difficult workplace.
Solution
Depending on the manufacturer, the signature is applied with product number, logo or date of manufacture.
Feeding of the wheels
The wheels reach the design recognition system via the conveyor belt and are uniquely identified.
Design recognition
In the design recognition, the height and diameter of the wheel are recorded. In addition, the bolt circle diameter and the styling of the wheel are determined.
Placement of the signature
On the bolt-on side, the signature is applied in a pocket between the bolt-on holes. Other, individual positions can be implemented on customer request.
Handling of the wheels
The wheels are picked up on the tire seat so as not to damage the rim flange.
Requirements
- Identification of wheels via design recognition
- Applying a signature with product number, logo or date of manufacture
- Protection of the rim flange – application of the wheel to the tire seat
