Plugs assembly into cylinder block

Challenger

This project posed the challenge of designing a fully automated solution for assembling multiple types of plugs—cup and threaded—into an engine block with high precision and complete traceability.

The complexity came from the need to handle different plug geometries, ensure accurate positioning, apply Loctite sealing with precision, and monitor every stage of the process. The system also needed to meet strict quality requirements, including force and position control during pressing and tightening, and to integrate plug presence verification and brushing operations.

The final solution includes robotic part handling, automatic component feeding, dual Loctite dosing tanks, chromatic sensors, and full data recording linked to each part via 2DM code.
