Automated wheel assembly uses smart cameras

摘要

Using manual assembly methods to mount wheels onto cars in continuous operation is extremely costly for automotive manufacturers, mainly because several assembly workers are required to perform the task. Now, IBG Automation GmbH has designed an assembly system for the automotive industry that automatically fits and mounts wheels onto car bodies moving continuously along the line. By automating this process, automotive manufacturers not only see labor costs drastically reduced but overall manufacturing quality improve as assembly errors are eliminated.
