Aisin – Stress-free tightening for enhanced productivity

Aisin offers a wide range of products covering nearly all components that comprise the manufacturing of a vehicle. Aisin is seeking to pursue excellence in production technology and acknowledges investing in digital transformation will allow to create an edge over competition.

For the tough and heavy assembly of powertrains, they have chosen Ansomat Operator Guidance as the operator helping hand, guiding them flawlessly through the assembly. Ansomat solution has been implemented at 11 workstations; each representing a different step in the assembly of a motor transmission.

Challenge and initial requirement

Before using Ansomat Operator Guidance, we faced a significant challenge in meeting the specific requirements from Japan for tasks that demanded stress-free tightening for operators. We needed a tool that would allow operators to visualize the sequences and tightening positions using pictures, and that would ensure precise repeatability for various programmed torque settings, while also being easy to handle. Ansomat Operator Guidance completely met these requirements.

Overcoming the challenge with Operator Guidance

Thanks to Ansomat, we were able to overcome this challenge due to its various controlled torque settings and remarkable repeatability. Since integrating this product into our processes, we have observed several specific benefits:

• Improved production - Its rapid execution has led to a significant improvement in our production efficiency.
• Quality Monitoring - he reports provided at the end of each cycle allow us to track and ensure the quality of our productions.
• Flexibility in programming - The ability to program various torque and angle settings offers us great flexibility in our screwing operations.
