Equipment Outline ------This equipment is used to install a torque converter onto a transmission unit.
Conventionally, installing a torque converter onto a transmission unit was a timeconsuming manual task because the process of engaging the transmission and the
torque converter properly was a very difficult one. In contrast, our newlydeveloped robot head makes it possible to assemble the torque converter and
transmission quickly and reliably.
This robot head is capable of handling work with various installation
requirements using its numerical control function which provides simple numerical
settings for different operating needs. Therefore, this equipment has a very high
level of compatibility with different types or models, and has the ability to install
all types of torque converters. It also shortens the time required for the installation
process and relieves employees from performing a laborious task.
This equipment is also capable of installing a torque converter sideways which
means the unit can accommodate not only the front-engine front-wheel-drive
layout but also the front-engine rear-wheel-drive layout for which it is not easy to
hold the transmission upright.

Features ------Fully-Automated Torque Converter Installation
In order to mount a torque converter onto the transmission, the parts of the torque
converter and the transmission that become engaged have to be aligned correctly.
Specifically, this task involves the extremely delicate and time-consuming process
of correctly aligning and positioning the engaging parts of the spline, oil pump, and
oil seal. It is also a very laborious task for employees as one of them must support
the torque converter during the whole alignment process.
Our newly-developed installation robot head is able to shorten the time required
for this task because it is capable of various numerically-controlled motions such
as approaching, moving away from and turning slowly around the object while
avoiding rotating together with the object. At the same time, it detects the progress
status of the installation task in real-time and performs a series of installation
motions.

Features ------Compatibility for Various Layouts
This equipment has been used very flexibly for various layouts, in terms of the type
of installation robot head as well as the method of supporting the torque converter and
the type of transmission and positioning methods.
Types ------Small Scale Serial Work Entry
The equipment of this type allows
the serial entry of multiple types of
units. The type is identified using
systems such as ID-Tags to
determine the appropriate
installation method.
Medium Scale Parallel Work
Entry
The equipment of this type allows the
parallel entry of multiple types of
units. A torque converter of an
appropriate type is selected and then
installed depending on the type of
transmission provided from the
previous process.
