About this event
Chucked components are rarely the problem. It’s their handling that is. Anyone who wants to manufacture differential housings, bevel gears, wheel hubs, or brake discs cost-effectively must master more than just the machining process: orientation, turning, inspection, cleaning, buffering, and unloading determine cycle time, availability, and quality.
In this webinar, we’ll show you which questions need to be addressed before automation:
- Workpiece handling: How can heavy, rotationally symmetric components be fed, gripped, and clamped with positional orientation in a process-reliable manner?
- Multiple setups: When does turning become a cycle time trap—and how can OP10/OP20 be seamlessly integrated into a line?
- Quality on the line: Where do measurement, position detection, SPC sampling, and NOK ejection make sense—and where do they slow down the process?
- Line concept: Robots, gantries, shuttles, buffer stations: Which automation logic suits the component, machining time, and floor space?
- Simulation: Why a layout alone is not enough when availability, downtime, and material flow must be realistically evaluated.
Who is this webinar for?
For manufacturing engineers, production planners, automation managers, and technical purchasing personnel in the batch production of large truck components.
EMAG brings the perspective of complete manufacturing systems—from machining to link-up automation.
