Glue dryer special purpose machine
Designing a special purpose machine for the automotive industry requires the highest level of technological methods and machine build; the machine must fit into the complete production line in order to ensure a computed and controlled production.
As part of the assembly of an electric unit in a passenger car our team was assigned to heated-chamber cure a metal part glued into a heat cure plastic housing, and then to recool the workpiece to touchable temperature.
The machine had to receive the pieces from a neighbouring special purpose machine, then pieces had to be kept heated at 80 C° temperature, and then cooled back in an air-conditioned space and finally collected in a container. Pieces were moved between the hot and cool space by a robotic arm, which alternately fed the pieces to be cooled to two conveyor lines.
We had to properly insulate hot parts in order to protect people working next to the machine, and also to separate cooled and heated chambers by air-lock to save energy.
