Backrest Assembly
- Requirements
A seat backframe is composed of two recliners and a main frame, the recliners have a clock spring which is released to change the seat’s position between locked, full forward and full rearward.
The client required a standalone assembly station that assembles a motor on the seat’s recliner mechanism.
The station should insert a shaft and ensure both recliners are synchronized.
- Solution
LG AUTOMATION designed and manufactured an open-concept station, with a motor validation subassembly in the center of the tooling.
This station leveraged two side moveable side-toolings to insert the shaft transmission that connects both recliners with the seat’s motor.
- Results
The project integrated the following technologies:
- Siemens PLC & HMI.
- Keyence and Balluff laser and inductive sensors.
- Zebra laser printer.
