We offer assembly systems for the following assembly operations:

  • Assembly / disassembly of adapter plates or zero point clamping systems
  • Insertion of valve seats and valve guides with or without nitrogen cooling
  • Assembly of camshafts - cam caps insert and tighten with screws
  • Assembly of studs
  • Assembly of cap plugs (balls, cap, KOENIG Expander)
  • Leak test
  • End of line inspection station

Motor Blocks-Assembly Machines

We offer assembly systems for the following assembly operations:

  • Assembly / disassembly of adapter plates or zero point clamping systems
  • Assembly of cylinder liners
  • Assembly / disassembly of hone carriers
  • Assembly / disassembly of crankshaft - bearing caps or bearing ladder frames (bed plates)
  • Insert and tighten with screws
  • Assembly of bearing shells
  • Assembly of cup plugs
  • Leak test
  • End of line inspection station

Assembly of Valve Seats and Valve Guides – Fully automatic

Assembly machines for the assembly of valve seats and valve guides integrate the following processes:

  • Automatic loading and unloading of work piece
  • Feeding of seats and guides with an inspection of orientation, length or diameter
  • Freezing of the seats and guides in a nitrogen bath in accordance with customer specifications
  • Lubricating of the seat pockets and guide
  • Insertion of seats and guides with servo processes
  • Monitoring of the press process through integrated force/distance monitoring

Assembly of Valve Seats and Valve Guides – Semi-automatic (offline)

Semi-automatic assembly stations for the assembly of valve seats and valve guides integrate the following processes:

  • Manual loading and unloading of work piece
  • Manual lubricating of the seats and guides
  • Manual insertion of seats and guides with Poka Yoke equipment
  • Cooling of the seats and guides in a nitrogen bath in accordance with customer specifications
  • Automatic insertion of seats and guides with servo process

  • Display of the results on the screen

Assembly of Bearing Caps – Fully automatic

Assembly machines for the assembly of camshaft bearing caps or crankshaft bearing caps integrate the following processes:

  • Automatic loading and unloading of work piece
  • Provision of bearing caps as bulk materials, on pallets or on feed conveyors
  • Feeding of the bearing caps
  • Placement of the bearing caps
  • Feeding and inserting bolts
  • Fastening the bearing cap
  • Torque/angle monitoring of fastening process

Assembly of Bearing Caps – Semi-automatic (offline)

Semi-automatic assembly stations for the assembly of camshaft bearing caps integrate the following processes:

  • Manual loading and unloading of work piece
  • Feeding of bearing caps as bulk materials or on pallets
  • Manual placement of the bearing cap with the help of insertion masks
  • Manual insertion of the bolts and caps
  • Automatic fastening of the bearing cap
  • Torque/angle monitoring of fastening process

Assembly of Cup Plugs

Assembly machines for cup plugs integrate the following processes:

  • Automatic loading and unloading of work piece
  • Provision and insertion of the assembly parts through bowl or step feeders
  • Automatic Loctite equipment applies bead of Loctite
  • Insertion of ball and cup plugs
  • Placement of KOENIG Expanders
  • Integrated leak test (optional)

Insertion of Cylinder Liners Using Heat

Assembly systems for the joining of cylinder liners in cylinder bores integrate the following processes:

  • Automatic loading and unloading of work piece
  • The motor blocks are heated up to approximately 200 degrees in an oven
  • A heated motor block is transferred to a joining station
  • A robot transfers the tempered liners to the joining station
  • The liners are arranged in the joining station and added to the cylinder bores
  • Cooling down of the motor block to the ambient temperature

The result of the joining process is monitoring in a subsequent test station.
