Overview
This Large Semi-Automatic Assembly Line is a custom-tailored solution designed to meet the specific needs of a Tier 1 customer in the automotive industry.
It was specially engineered to produce high-quality OLED displays, namely to perform semi-automatic application of protection film on car displays, including OLED and LCD variants.
The assembly line was organized into 14 workstations based on their sequence of operations, ensuring efficiente and precise manufacturing processes:
Clean and Service Station: This station is responsible for cleaning and servicing the workpiece carriers used in the production line and reworking as necessary.
Display and Press Stations: This working station, divided into three machines, is tasked with assembling components onto the display and applying pressure to facilitate the activation of the glue.
Glue Station: In charge of assembling the housing and display through gluing, including the application of plasma treatment to prepare the housing for gluing. The process involves applying glue to the housing, aligning it with the display, and placing it onto the display.
Cure Station: Immediately following the gluing process, heat is applied to accelerate the curing of the glue. The product then undergoes a 12-minute curing period before moving to the next station.
Flash Station: Used for flashing and testing PCBs.
Automatic Pre-Assembly: Enables reworks on rejected parts. The system comprises the Flash zone, milling station, In Circuit tester (ICT), a robot, and a section for rework insertion. It operates automatically without requiring an operator during its cycle.
Milling Station: In this workstation, there is an automatic feed of PCBs, which are cut and separated simultaneously.
Housing Preparation: This station is dedicated to placing components on the PCB housing.
PCB Assembly Station: Designed for assembling the PCB Housing, PCB Cover, and connecting cables to the flat cables on the PCB.
Screwing Station: Responsible for screwing the PCB housing to the display housing and the PCB cover to the PCB.
Measuring Station: Conducts measurement and control of wear wear or damage on the protective coverings (bonnets) of the pallets used in the manufacturing process.
Packaging Station: Operates as a standalone machine integrated into the assembly line. Its purpose is to assess the quality of the OLED and LCD DUT variants, as well as applying a protective film semi-automatically and ensuring correct packaging of these products.
Main Applications
This Automatic Assembly Line was developed to meet the high standards of the automotive industry, which makes it suitable for other industries as well, and can be customized for various types of products that require automatic assembly, sorting and inspection of small components.
