This custom automated assembly machine was designed for stopcock water valve assembly, testing & packing. The operator loads a pre-assembled stopcock valve into the location fixture and the machine slides the part into place for assembly and leak testing.
Assembly includes screwing the screw on cap to a pre-defined torque (via Deprag Pneumatic screw driver), and leak testing by creating a silicon seal and using a ATEQ F420 series leak tester. Parts that pass the test are removed and placed directly into shipping cartons.
This implementation combines the assembly and testing into one machine and improves the efficiency of assembling the product as well as increasing the quality & reliability of the product.
