Wheel Carrier And Short Shaft: Dual-spindle Transfer Machine / FMS

Summary

This page is an industry-reference summary. Customer names are anonymized and integrator names are removed; machine brands and models are used only to explain the process. It is not a New Partner delivered case.

Configuration

• Machine: WITZIG＆FRANK Twinflex MD dual-spindle transfer machine / FMS (2 units).
• Loading: robotic loading.
• Workpiece: wheel carrier and short shaft, aluminum, steel, GG, GGG, Mg and Ms.
• Cycle: overall cycle 180s.

A typical sequence is: blanks enter a tray, pallet or conveyor; the robotic loading picks a part; the machine clamps and machines it; the finished part is unloaded or inspected. The exact fixture, buffer and flow follow the public source.

Reported results

The source gives no quantified labour, yield or efficiency result. No sample size, measurement period or acceptance protocol is provided, so it is not a New Partner commitment.

Applicability

For automotive parts parts such as wheel carrier and short shaft. Best suited to mixed-part, flexible picking with trays or storage. Part weight, gripper type, machine layout and safety fencing determine the robot size and count.

FAQ

Is this a New Partner delivered case? No. It is a public industry reference with the customer and integrator anonymized.

Which loading method fits wheel carrier and short shaft? The source uses robotic loading. Selection also depends on blank form, cycle time, machine layout and changeover frequency.

Can the cycle time be used as an acceptance target? Not directly. The source gives no timing method, sample size or acceptance report; re-measure with your own part, fixture and machine.
