A Robust Panel PC for Intelligent Tightening Machine in an Automobile Assembly Factory (Shandong Chunlong Group)

Case StudiesBy Advantech | 6/17/2013

As China becomes one of the world’s largest auto markets, the relevant manufacturing industries are also booming; leading to a strong demand for highly accurate manufacturing machines. During the assembly process in an automotive plant, bolt tightening is a critical task to ensure car safety and needs to precisely control torque and rotation angle. Its tightening speed also has to be adjusted according to softness and hardness of bolt material as well as a degree of fitting tightness. Compared to manual operation, automated machines can provide more precise control and can even upgrade to intelligent applications by using advanced IT technologies so as to reduce human error and improve productivity. However, the quality of the Human Machine Interface (HMI) affects the machine&rsqu...
