Powertrain assembly and test systems
ThyssenKrupp System Engineering, Inc. is a world leader in the design and manufacture of turn-key assembly and test systems for automotive powertrain components, including engines, transmissions, and axles.
A manufacturer of construction and heavy equipment recently commissioned ThyssenKrupp System Engineering (Auburn Hills, MI, USA) to build an engine assembly line for a new plant in the U.S. Southwest. In addition to its role as a line builder, ThyssenKrupp had the mandate to provide this factory with a machine vision solution for the entire engine assembly line. Acting as the system integrator, ThyssenKrupp supplied the vision, mechanical and electrical systems, Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) connectivity, and training of plant staff. The first steps of the vision solution were developed using six Matrox Iris GT smart cameras. As an engine moves down the line, it goes through multiple smart camera-based vision inspection stations. These applications vary from absence/presence to gauging/measurement.
