Abstract
This assembly line is based on a Dongfeng model of the front axle assembly structure (independent suspension) designed, which can meet Dongfeng passenger car assembly shop 33 V/H production capacity. The front axle assembly line consists of front shock absorber subassembly unit, the production line of lower half bridge and the main dock of upper and lower half bridge, to coordinate the beat differences of each station assembly work. To ensure the critical torque, this line is used for electric servo-tightening equipment. By designing the electric servo-tightening automatic movement and the half bridge assembly automatic feeding mechanism according to the structure of the front axle assembly, the production efficiency is greatly enhanced. At the same time, operators identify the vehicle and equipment parameters automatically through the intelligent system display, to ensure the quality of the assembly traceability. The assembly line also can widely apply to models of front axle assembly through simple transformation, which will greatly reduce the equipment investment on the subsequent models.
