Technology meets future.

Fully automatic joining device for steering valves

The fully automatic joining device for steering valves is precisely designed for insertion into rack-and-pinion steering systems. With the help of an industrial robot, imaging and force torque sensors, force-monitored assembly takes place with greasing of the rack and feeding of the support bearing. This system integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, ensures high quality with a cycle time of just 23 seconds per steering valve and thus improves efficiency and quality assurance.

Our state-of-the-art joining system is specially designed for inserting steering valves into rack-and-pinion steering systems. This fully automatic system precisely detects the position of the steering valves in the load carriers and inserts them into the rack and pinion joints using force monitoring. Another process step in the system is the greasing of the rack and the feeding of the support bearing, which further optimizes the functionality of the steering valve.

 

Innovative technology for handling steering valves

We use an advanced industrial robot equipped with an imaging system and force/torque sensors to handle the steering valves. This technology enables precise and efficient handling of the steering valves. The entire application for assembling the steering valves is seamlessly integrated into an existing assembly line and works reliably in three-shift operation.

 

Results of the joining device for steering valves

The result of this innovative joining system for steering valves is consistently high quality with a cycle time of just 23 seconds per steering valve. The system also makes a significant contribution to reducing the reject rate, which significantly increases efficiency and quality assurance in the production of steering valves.
