Among the many projects delivered in recent years, guide bushings insertion and crimping applications are typical examples of solutions designed by Pronic for leaders in the automotive industry on every continent to optimise the production process.
These guide bushings are used for example to reduce friction and noise in car seat joining components; they advantageously replace bearings, which are more expensive, bulkier and heavier.
In-die insertion of these bushings (of which the main manufacturers include Norglide Saint Gobains and GGB) optimises productivity and ensures much lower logistical costs as in-die produced parts are created as finished products and do not require additional operations to insert bushings; moreover, insertion is controlled automatically during operation thereby guaranteeing the best quality.
An application in practice
Country : Portugal
Component : Bushings
Produced part material : High Tensile Steel S420MC, 3 mm thick
Dimension : 1 bushing Ø10 thick = 1 mm h = 4.5 mm, and 1 bushing Ø14 thick = 0.5 mm h = 4 mm
Usage area : Progressive die and 2 parts per stroke
Rate : 24 strokes/min
Distribution trolley details :
• Distribution trolley with 2 vibrating bowls for each bushing reference
• 4 feeds (2 for each reference)
• Touch screen to control the application
• Bushings transferred into heads using feeder pipes via pneumatic blowing
• Rapid connectors for feeder pipes as well as for electrical and pneumatic power supplies
• Reuse possible for the same size of bushings
Insertion head details :
• Compact insertion head, reusable for bushings with the same diameters
• Bottom-up insertion of bushings leading to simplified kinematics (also possible top-down)
• Simple and quick integration in the tool
• Mounting kit and rapid connectors for efficient and simplified commissioning
