Another month, another blog! This month, we’re excited to introduce our latest project: Grease Cup Installation to Transmission. In this post, we’ll break down how we’ve designed and manufactured a semi-automatic station for grease cup installation.

In this project, SK engineered key components of the station. Here's a step-by-step guide to the process:

  1. The pallet carrying the transmission is moved into the station via a conveyor.
  2. A locking mechanism secures the pallet. A servo motor then engages with the pallet and rotates the transmission by 90 degrees.
  3. The operator manually places the grease cup onto a Mandrel attached to the servo press. The press, mounted on a sliding C-Frame, moves along rails using a cylinder.
  4. Once the servo press is activated, the C-Frame moves, and the servo press installs the grease cup on the transmission.
  5. Spring cushioning minimizes vibrational shock during rotation making sure the operation runs smoothly.
  6. Trays hold grease cups for easy access, allowing the operator to load them onto the Mandrel.
  7. Safety light devices and safety fencing are integrated to provide security, making it safe for operators to work at this semi-automatic station.

Converting manual processes to semi-automatic solutions is proof of increased efficiency. We’re eager to keep advancing in machine design and manufacturing.
