 Assemble



Turn-Key Solutions: no matter what the requirements are for a machine, Advanced Systems and Controls has the in-house capability to design, assemble, and commission, on time and on budget.

Hardware Flexibility: the type of hardware used (motors, cylinders, valves, controls hardware, sensors, instrumentation, etc) can be specified by the customer.

Process Analysis and Automation: with years of experience building and commissioning assembly processes, our team can analyze an existing or proposed process to determine bottlenecks, improve flow rate, and decrease part rejects.

Integration: we can provide a stand-alone, offline assembly machine, or we can integrate a machine into a new or existing process, including process tracking and data collection.

Software Services: our proprietary machine automation and digital signal processing techniques result in a greater level of machine reliability, process repeatability, and measurement accuracy.


Low Torque Bearing Preload -- Hub Nut Rundown
The ASC2313 Hub Rundown Machine is representative of bearing preload machines we have built in the past. Hub rundown machines are capable of executing a complex tightening procedure. Hub nuts are tightened to high torque, loosened a short distance, and then re-tightened a specific number of degrees or to a low torque. Hub torque is monitored to confirm that the bearings are properly preloaded.

Gear Assembly -- Adjuster Nut Machine
This machine sets proper bearing preload and backlash on an adjuster nut axle center section. After setting backlash and preload, the machine requires an operator to verify the gear pattern. Finally, after the part is approved, nut runners mounted to X-Y linear slides automatically tighten all bearing cap bolts.

Axle Assembly -- Ford RDU Assembly Process
ASC2415 RDU LineOf the more than half-dozen axle assembly lines Advanced Systems and Controls has produced, the Ford RDU assembly process is the fastest and most complex. The line produces a full independent axle module (complete with CV shafts and clutch).

The line features two parallel front-line assembly processes, each producing one axle every 45 seconds. The parallel processes are linked by crossover turntables, allowing sections to be bypassed easily.

The back line processes all parts at double the speed of each front line: one axle assembly is produced every 24 seconds. The back line features three robot-loaded, parallel balancers, each of which can balance one assembly per 60 seconds.
