IP (Instrumentpanels) Conveyer

We developed the IP Conveyer for an important player in the automotive sector (Volvo Cars Ghent).

At the pre-assembly of cars the need was created to be able to carry out assembly fast and easily accessable. An important point of attention was the ergonomics of the operators.

They wanted to provide a sequence platform for pre-assembling instrument panels (IPs). Due to the implementation of this system, the working posture of the operators is much more ergonomic, and the workload is lower.

An overlying power and free system drives 13 fixtures that each carry 1 Instrument panel. Pre-assembly zones are provided at various points in the line. The fixture is made in such a way that the IPs can be rotated in order to obtain a correct position for each operation.
