The motto of Dürr Assembly Products ‘performance at the Testing Expo 2015. To always be one step ahead of the competition means to meet the customers’ requirements and wishes every day. More than 50 customers from 15 OEMs followed our invitation and came to visit us at our booth. Many were impressed by the variety of the exhibits and appreciated the open and bright booth concept.
The motto – omnipresent at the booth – defined the programme. Dürr Assembly Products again displayed various innovations at the Testing Expo this year.
The product line “Passenger Vehicle Testing” presented a state-of-the-art, fully automatic toe setting tool, which enables a fully automatic setting of toe and camber in the assembly line or at the end-of-line. The key customer benefit: space and personnel requirements at the test stands as well as cylce times can be reduced significantly. Moreover, a subjective influence on the testing process and the setting values can be excluded due to the fully automatic system.
Furthermore, the new setting tool for headlamps and driver assistance systems “Smart Ergo Drive” was displayed as another example for this product line. It is used for adjusting headlamps and driver assistance systems. The ultra-light nutrunner has a push-down mechanism which enables an automatic start and a process-capable setting.
In the field “Commercial Vehicle Testing”, our interested customers could take a look at targets for ACC and LDW alignment, which are integral parts of our test stand for driver assistance systems for commercial vehicles.
A process-capable and highly precise setting of driver assistance systems guarantees the right positioning of the sensors and, thus, the safety on the road.
The product line “Assembly” showed the exhibit “x-gun”, an innovative bolting system which is able to carry up to four bolts of different sizes in the accompanying magazine. These bolts are taken from the bolt nest and held inside the magazine by means of pneumatic grippers.
The system is less complex and thus more cost-effective as competitor products, but nevertheless offers a considerably higher flexibility. The fact that the magazine is able to take over all bolts at the same time leads to shorter cycle times.
The fourth product line, the “Service”, presented the brand-new test and calibration device “x-cal weight”. It is used to test and calibrate the weighing unit which is integrated in the floating plates of the wheel alignment stand “x-wheel”. These weighing units have to be checked and calibrated in regular intervals.
Customer benefits of this product: Replacement of the calibration weights which are difficult to handle, quicker check and calibration compared to usual procedures.
This year‘s high number of visitors as well as the broad attendance of our customers once again show the great interest in our performance at the Testing Expo.
Therefore, Dürr Assembly Products will come back to Stuttgart with new ideas for the Testing Expo 2016.
