AUTOMATED AIR FILLING FOR SHOCK ABSORBERS
The LFA1012S filling device is used to fill the vehicle’s air suspension system. Each console is equipped with a traction motor and safety features. The device is located on the ML04 line in the Volkswagen Slovakia, Bratislava plant and it is possible to fill the air suspension of the VW Touareg, AUDI Q7 and AUDI Q8 with it.
LASER STATION OF PRODUCTION LABELS V2.0
The V2.0 laser marking station is used to laser TPS labels on the marking tapes, which are then glued to a designated place on the vehicle body. The station has two tape tracks and a lockable tray for TPS labels. The marking is performed using an OEM TruMark 5020 laser unit from TRUMPF.
SIDE WINDOWS TYPE RECOGNITION
The device consists of several mechanical, electrical and optical parts, which are interconnected and controlled by a PLC system. The main part of the device are four optical laser sensors designed to measure distance. The sensors, together with their control units, are placed on a large mounting plate, on the table of the centering device.
BODY TYPE RECOGNITION BY CAMERA SYSTEM
The application is used to distinguish 22 types of bodies from bodies of other types in the main tank and then move to another transport branch. When the body arrives at the checkpoint, a snapshot of the TPS label is taken. By analyzing the image, you get the PIN number of a specific body. Based on the PIN number obtained, the request is sent to the FIS database to the “Laufende Nummer” and the type of the corresponding bodywork.
REFUELING STATION CONTROL
The NSF filling station is used for refueling NSF vehicles with SUPER and DIESEL fuels on the ML03 assembly line. It consists of a refueling stand and a switchboard on which the control panel of the SIMATIC Comfort Panel is located.
