Expertise in Complex Assemblies

AMT’s expertise in machining difficult to make parts also means those parts often require complex sub-assemblies. Another strength of AMT is our ability to perform these complex sub-assemblies in-house with precision, whether it be the installation of a baffle or wire tire harness to the full assembly of sub-components and moguls.

At AMT, complex assemblies require a specific strategy to ensure flawless execution. Below is a sample of an assembly strategy plan used at AMT when conducting complex assemblies.

Sample Oil Pan Assembly Strategy

PLC controlled Cup Plug & Drain Plug assembly station with hydraulic fixtures that have constructed in Poka-Yoke devices to prevent nonconforming product from being manufactured.

Machined casting is to locate on machined holes on –A- surface. If a hole is missing or out of location, part will not locate correctly and machine will not cycle.
Camera and thread detection lasers to check for presence of threads. If presence is not detected the cycle will not start.
Force over distance monitoring for Cup Plug installation.
Torque and Angle will be measured on drain plug installation.
Parts that fail assembly and/or Poke-yoke check will be placed on a slide leading to the back of the machine to seperate nonconforming material from the process flow.
Successful assembly cycle will send a signal to the Op50 leak test station to allow the next cycle to run with a one-piece flow.
Part Handling off of the sealing surface wearing cotton gloves.
Pass & Fail masters to validate assembly station at the start of each shift.
