Skid AGV│ Rivet tacking with EXPERT “grill station“│ Automatic barrel changing system│ Maintenance-free servo clinching device
Skid AGVs replace stationary roller conveyors in truck manufacturing
A plant manufacturing trucks in South America has decided to use skid AGVs instead of stationary roller conveyor belts. The skid AGVs delivered by our partner Sinova accommodate the entire car body and take it to the individual roller conveyor stations as required. The video attached gives a short impression.

Rivet tacking at the underbody with EXPERT “grill station“
Rivets are the preferred fixing element for add-on parts, lids and cladding that have to be attached to the underbody. To attach the rivets, the entire underbody group is turned around by means of a so-called “grill station”. Not least due to the health and safety requirements, but also due to the short cycle time, the lift and turn unit from EXPERT has become an established means for this application.

Safe, semi-automatic barrel exchange for dosing systems
Exchanging barrels in dosing systems can be quite hazardous for the worker not least due to the archaic mechanism applied. To make it safe, TÜNKERS-NICKEL has automated the barrel exchange process with a new concept.

Clinching with maintenance-free spindle drive
With more than 10,000 strokes per day, clinching devices are ”long-distance runners” in body-in-white assembly. The usual grease-based lubrication for electric spindle drives requires re-lubrication after as little as 100,000 cycles. The new generation of servo-electric TÜNKERS clinching devices are maintenance-free with spindles immersed in an oil bath.
