The situation
Securing a prop shaft means finding bolt heads that arrive in a different rotational position on every vehicle, then torquing them in sequence. Done by hand it is slow, awkward and unforgiving of misalignment.
What it delivers
The tool finds, aligns and secures every shaft without an operator judging alignment by eye: repeatable torque, verified every cycle.
What we built
- 01Automated gripper that seats and rotates the prop shaft
- 02Laser detection to locate and align each bolt head
- 03Stanley engineered-fastening integration with torque verification
- 04Sensors, encoders and on-machine I/O over EtherNet/IP
- 05Full electrical design, commissioning and onsite installation
