The manufacturing apparatus includes a base, a spindle, with primary and secondary radially extending platforms, respectively supporting primary and secondary cradles with the bowl and clamshell disposed therebetween the cradles that are rotated. The manufacturing apparatus also includes a guide slidably engaged to the base, wherein the guide directs the strip to be helically wound about the clamshell and cover with a base slide mounted adhesive nozzle that affixes the primary and secondary end portions of the strip to the cover and clamshell with a head that cuts and holds the strip with the head slidably engaged to the base.

A system for manufacturing a string of pocketed coil springs comprising: a coil-forming subsystem that produces two coil springs; a spring transporter subsystem that receives the two coil springs at a first position and conveys the two coil springs to a second position; a spring compressor subsystem that compresses the two coil springs; a fabric-folding subsystem that receives a piece of fabric and folds the fabric to create an open side; a spring inserter subsystem that receives the two compressed coil springs and inserts the two compressed coil springs between top and bottom surfaces of a folded piece of fabric; two welder subsystems that form first and second welds between top and bottom surfaces of the folded piece of fabric, the first welds and the second welds forming a plurality of pockets in the fabric, each of the plurality of pockets comprising a compressed coil spring.

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

A machine for the automatic, continuous-cycle assembling of a plurality of components for making an assembly comprises a conveyor, movable to transport a first of the plurality of components along a working path through successions of alternating advances and pauses; a conveyor actuator, configured to drive the conveyor to move intermittently; and one or more manipulating units configured to perform operations on the components in a working zone. The manipulating unit includes an interface element, movable by means of an actuating unit along a manipulating trajectory between a working position and a rest position, configured to pick up a second component and assemble it with the first component. The machine comprises a control unit configured to control the conveyor actuator in response to a synchronization signal and to control the movement of the actuating units according to a predetermined law of motion synchronously with the synchronization signal.

An automatic assembly machine fora combined control button, includes a frame, a power distribution control box, a turntable and turntable drive disposed on the frame so as to fit with each other, wherein the base fixtures fitting controller bases are evenly disposed along the circumference of the turntable; the front side of the frame located at the right side of the turntable is disposed with a base feeding mechanism; the rear side of the base feeding mechanism located on the frame is provided with a base transportation device fitting with the base fixtures; and the left side of the base transportation device along the rotating direction of the turntable is provided with a button assembly mechanism cooperating with the base fixtures.

A method for assembling a damper with a device includes inserting a floating piston into a cartridge, filling a region of the cartridge with oil, inserting a piston-rod assembly into the cartridge, inserting a rod guide into the cartridge, coupling a damper tube to the cartridge, supplying a gas into the damper tube via a first end of the damper tube, transferring the floating piston, the piston-rod assembly, the rod guide, and the oil from the cartridge to the damper tube through the first end of the damper tube, and securing the rod guide to the damper tube.

A serial multi-up effector can be used in an automated assembly line in order pick parts from a parts bin one after the other before placing them at a desired location. In an automated assembly line, a parts bin will be depleted of parts and need to be replaced with a full parts bin. The bin replacement may be replaced using a rotary table that allows an empty bin to be replaced with a full bin. Additionally, the rotary table allows for filling of the empty bins while the full bins are being used to pick parts from.

A working system includes a first work station and a second work station. The first work station includes a first conveying unit, a second conveying unit, a first positioning unit, and a first work unit that carries out a predetermined work for a workpiece positioned on the first conveying unit. The second work station includes a third conveying unit, a fourth conveying unit, a second positioning unit, and a second work unit that carries out a predetermined work for the workpiece positioned on the fourth conveying unit. The third conveying unit is connected to a downstream portion of the first conveying unit, and the fourth conveying unit is connected to a downstream portion of the second conveying unit.
