Press fitting assembly of a water pump

Automated assembly line for the industrial manufacture of a water pump. The production line comprised 4 digitally-controlled press-fit machines, component distribution and loading robots and end-of-process checking systems.

Requirement / To assemble components and check products.

Assembly, press fitting and testing of a new water pump.

Solution / Automated press fitting machine.

Lormac designed an automated assembly line to assemble new products. Lormac staff used their ingenuity to create an entire automated manufacturing system including :

• Automated distribution and loading of components
• Design of 4 specialised electric press fitting machines and tools
• Integration of 2 transfer robots for feeding and unloading of off-line stations
• Addition of 2 off-line automated bolting stations
• Insertion of 2 seal testing stations
• Implementation of a pallet transfer conveyor

The press fitting machine uses a “gooseneck” assembly process with deformation correction and strength control.

The machine’s performance levels /

• Capacity of each press-fit machine: 50 KN
• Feedback platform designed and patented by Lormac
• 9 second cycle time
• Accuracy +/- 0.03
