A method and system for an automated modular construction factory is presented. A plurality of pre-cast construction panels, a quality control zone, a transportation system, a general stockyard, a sequencing system, an assembly zone, an assembly system, a transit system, a finishing zone, and a plurality of finishing stations are provided. The pre-cast construction panels undergo quality control under the quality control zone and are transported and ordered to the general stockyard through the transportation and sequencing systems. The panels are then assembled into a constructed room in the assembly zone through the assembly system. The constructed room is transported by the transit system to the finishing zone where the constructed room is furnished and completed by the plurality of finishing stations.

A system and method for assembling a plurality of components into an assembly is provided. The system includes an assembling robot and an adhesive dispensing robot. The assembling robot is configured to attach a first sub-assembly to a second sub-assembly. The first sub-assembly includes at least one of the plurality of components, and the second sub-assembly includes remaining ones of the plurality of components. The adhesive dispensing robot is configured to apply an adhesive between the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly, after the first sub-assembly is attached to the second sub-assembly, to bond the first sub-assembly to the second sub-assembly.

The present invention relates to an assembly station for assembling modules used in a modular storage system for barrels. The modular storage system includes a base rick module, an aisle rick module, and an end rick module, whereby a plurality of each module type may be assembled to construct a rickhouse. The assembly station can include a vertical post assembly station, transfer rollers, a main module assembly area, dunnage supports, and a dunnage feeder conveyor system.

A fastener feeding system and method for automatically delivering fasteners to a plurality of different manufacturing cells in a manufacturing line from a single load point. The fastener feeding system includes a fastener distribution assembly and a transport assembly for selecting and delivering fasteners to the manufacturing cells. Individual fasteners are selected from a fastener reservoir by a robotic manipulator of the fastener distribution assembly, and are placed on a fastener carrier supported on conveying structure extending between the fastener distribution assembly and the manufacturing cells for movement therealong. The fastener carrier is controlled to move along the track to deliver one or more fasteners to a manufacturing cell.

A manufacturing machine includes a feeding system that has first and second processing conveyors arranged in series along the processing path, and a transfer unit interposed between there-between that cyclically transfers the products from the first processing conveyor to the second processing conveyor, picking up the products in a pick-up station arranged in the area of the first processing conveyor and releasing the products in a release station arranged in the area of the second processing conveyor. The transfer unit has a plurality of trays, each having a series of seats designed to house a product, a moving system, which cyclically moves the trays between the pick-up and release stations, a first transferring and second transfer devices arranged in the pick-up station and release stations, respectively to transfer the products from the first processing conveyor to a tray, and from a tray to the second processing conveyor, respectively.

The present disclosure relates to systems, apparatuses, and methods for assembling cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridges may be assembled by coupling a base of the cartridge to a carriage that is transported via a track. The track transports the carriages between various substations at which one or more parts are added to the base. The carriage may be lifted from the track by a lifter mechanism at each substation in order to perform assembly operations on the base. An inspection system may inspect the cartridges at various stages of completion at or between the various substations.

Disclosed are a full-automatic storage shelf assembly production line and an operation method thereof. The production line includes a logistics channel, a stand column-based feeding area, a supporting beam-based feeding area, an in-line logistics system, a shelf assembly area, a finished product area, and a control system. The stand column-based feeding area, the supporting beam-based feeding area, the shelf assembly area, and the finished product area are connected in series by means of the in-line logistics system to form an integrated production line.

A smart factory system for an electrified vehicle includes a components supplying section in which a drive-motor and a one-kit module of speed reducer component parts for forming a speed reducer to be assembled to the drive-motor are supplied to an upper portion of an autonomous mobile robot, a stator assembling section in which a stator to be assembled to the drive-motor is assembled, a speed reducer assembling section configured to sequentially assemble the speed reducer component parts to the drive-motor, a sub-assembling section in which the drive-motor, the stator, and the speed reducer component parts are electrically interconnected, and a test section in which an assembly quality of the drive-motor, the stator, and the speed reducer component parts is checked.

Systems and methods are provided for fabricating a preform for a fuselage section of an aircraft. The method includes advancing a series of arcuate mandrel sections in a process direction through an assembly line, laying up fiber reinforced material onto the arcuate mandrel sections via layup stations, uniting the series of arcuate mandrel sections into a combined mandrel; and splicing the fiber reinforced material laid-up onto the arcuate mandrel sections.

A part assembling system of an automation line includes: a station frame in which a part assembling tool is installed and that includes at least one mounting part; at least one positioner mounted on the at least one mounting part; a part conveying pallet including at least one positioning pin coupled to the at least one positioner; and a moving carriage that transports the part conveying pallet to a predetermined position on a floor of a process work area.
