Flat Pack Actuator System

The resulting machine is divided into two sectors, the motor assembly portion of the system and the actuator assembly and test portion of the system. An indexing dial capable of running on a 2-second cycle is used for assembling the motor. Pucks with fixtures each transfer motors via a conveyor from the manual stations to the indexing dial. The fixture and puck index through all stations on the dial and are unloaded back onto the conveyor. From that point the pucks, with the finished motor, are transferred through a queue station to the manual motor insertion station on the actuator assembly line. Completed assemblies enter one of 12 sealed test chambers. Inside the sound resistant chamber, the part is actuated, and a functional test verifies performance, torque, speed, noise, and vibration.
