Ring gear & sprocket pressing into crankshaft

• When talking about automatic loading / unloading of our machines, integration of six axes and cartesian robots becomes a guarantee for high efficiency solutions.
• We have wide experience in integrating robots of various brands, not only for handling purposes but also as a key tool in some of our assembly standarized solutions.
• Design and integration of in-house designed grippers (EOAT), adapted to the needs of each application.
• Simulation services for the entire robot cycle to assure the process in cycle time conditions and to avoid possible collisions or interferences.

• When it comes to automating processes, automatic component feeding is a fundamental aspect of the cell's autonomy.
• There are several alternatives on the market to automatically feed parts to be assembled. At Gaindu we analyze each case individually to offer the best alternative, taking into account key aspects such as speed, part protection or required orientation.
• Among the alternatives we work with, we make our own design feeders by means of vertical warehouses as well as bowl-feeder or step-feeder integrations, which we customize for each application.

In order to respond to the traceability needs of our customers, at Gaindu we have developed our own software called Gaindu Tracker, with which we provide our installations with the functionality to record process data associated with unique part IDs.

We integrate industrial PCs from leading manufacturers as hardware support for our customized software development.

Complete collecting of data related to the process:

• Leak test values
• Insertion forces and positions
• Torque and anglel values
• Etc.

We study each project in detail in order to adapt to the existing IT systems in our customers' plants, integrating our machines in their information networks.

• Possibility of complementing the assemblies by in-process measurements, to guarantee variable dimensions depending on the actual part.
• Measuring systems through integration of third-party equipment or in-house systems using market-standard measuring probes
• We use the measurement units to, for example, generate reference pressing dimensions based on the values obtained, in order to guarantee 100% of the parts.
• When integrating a gauging system, we always include the means for system calibration, either by manual procedures or integrated into the automated system.

• Monitoring of the assembly processes for component pressing, controlling the parameters during the whole cycle. 
• At Gaindu we have installed more than 300 electric presses with which we have assembled all types of parts and units. Assembly processing of engines, suspensions, gearboxes, etc...
• We are the official distributor of JANOME electric presses in Spain, having collaborated with them directly in the validation and expansion of assembly processes using electric presses.
• Following our vocation of customer-oriented solutions, we adapt to the approved brands and preferences of our customers when designing our installations. This has led us to work with the leading global manufacturers of electrical presses and gives us the advantage of being able to offer our solutions integrating reliably any of these brands.

• In some cases where components are pressed on shafts, it is necessary to expand the inside diameter of the part to be assembled or the inside diameter of the housing on which the component is pressed prior to the insertion operation.
• For this purpose, Gaindu performs pressing applications in which we include a previous operation of induction heating, thus reducing the interferences between the parts to be joined and optimizing the forces required during the process.
• Induction heating processes are carried out integrated in our automated machines, where we control the temperature reached in the parts through the use of optical pyrometers. In order to evacuate the fumes generated during the heating process, we operate with suction filtering equipment installed in the heating stations.
