Assembly tool for fitting valve spring units in the cylinder heads of engines using a robot

摘要

The invention relates to an assembly tool for fitting valve spring units in the cylinder heads of engines using a handling robot. This consists of a magazine 1 for a number of spring units 2, an opening 6 in the bottom 1a of the magazine 1 with a movable blocking element 8, which in its blocked position prevents the spring unit 2 from dropping through the opening 6 and in its free position allows the spring unit 2 to drop through the opening, and a control element 17 which can be pushed down through a spring unit 2 over the opening 6 and which serves to control the spring unit when it drops down through the opening 6 into its position in the cylinder head 34 around a valve shaft 35.
