Automatic Gear Train Assembly Machine

ETEK’s Automatic Gear Train Assembly Machine is an advanced solution designed to help manufacturers of small devices—such as watches, toys, printers, and photocopiers—improve productivity and product quality. Powered by high-speed SCARA robot technology and an integrated vision inspection system, the machine ensures every assembled product meets quality standards, minimizes errors, and optimizes operating costs.

Product Overview

The machine is professionally engineered for the automatic assembly of gear train and transmission components, featuring the following key highlights:

• High speed: Only 6 seconds per product, maximizing throughput
• Absolute precision: SCARA robots combined with a vision inspection system ensure quality control for every single component
• Fully automated operation: Precise grease dispensing without excess, accurate torque-controlled screw tightening at the correct positions
• Flexible and versatile: Easily adaptable to assemble multiple product types, optimizing overall productivity
• High reliability: In-jig inspection during the assembly process eliminates defective products before they leave the production line

Intelligent Operating Process

ETEK’s automatic assembly machine operates through an intelligent workflow, automating nearly the entire assembly process:

1. The operator places the housing into the jig to prepare the product for assembly

2. The product is inspected on the jig using the vision system

3. The robot picks up the gears from the tray and assembles them into the product

4. Automatic screw tightening with precise torque control

5. A pneumatic cylinder transfers the jig from conveyor 1 to conveyor 2

6. Automatic grease dispensing with no excess, ensuring optimal transmission performance

7. Motor installation and final screw tightening

8. The operator removes the product and performs a final inspection before it is released to the market
