Comau + SIMPRO (case109)

 

Semi-automatic end-of-line cold test bench for several engines, with Comau NJ-60 robot!

 

The flexibility of the robot allows the system to be adapted to the different types of motors being tested.

The devices on the wrist, which must be approached to the engine in different positions according to the mechanical design of the engine, allow to perform measurements concerning the intake and exhaust quantities, as an essential part of the test cycle for each engine signing-off.

Our approach

Engine testing is an essential step in the production process, intended to guarantee the product quality.

 

In particular, the cold test bench is designed and manufactured to test the proper operation of the dynamic, fluidic and electric components of the engines under production without starting them.

 

Here, a rotary table used to load the engine can combine a high versatility of the system (capable of testing 3 or 4-cylinder engines indifferently, with several plugging options) with a considerable automation level (which ensures a very reduced cycle time).

A wide range of measuring instruments enables the operator to carefullly analyze the engine operation as well as to carry out a final quality check of the production process, thus ensuring the greatest reliability for the following assembly steps.

100 % faults dected on engine production

01

Cycle time about 120s (automatic test and manual rigging/unrigging operations simultaneously)

02

More than 200 engines each shift (7 h)

03

More than 500 checks on the engine components

04

5 different engine models supported

05

High versatility and extremely short cicle time

06

Check the dynamic, electrical or fluids performances of the engines to guarantee the best quality on production process
