Koops designed and built this automated system
to locate three critical steering components in hardened steel nests, automatically
install four fasteners to a specified torque
and verify the presence, and
correct connection, of the
Brake-Transmission-Interlock-Cable.
The station is equipped to produce right
or left hand drive steering
column assemblies in less than 55 seconds part to part, a
20% reduction from manual
assembly time.
