Zero-Defect Manufacturing for a Critical Titanium Shaft
The Titanium Shaft ZDM line is engineered to inspect every critical feature, assemble precision-fit components and verify the completed shaft before release. The system combines mechanical gauging, pneumatic air gauging, servo-controlled pressing, laser measurement, LVDT inspection, vision-based presence checks and production traceability within one coordinated automation platform.
Each shaft is carried through a defined sequence of stations using a controlled transfer system. A pass-to-proceed logic prevents an unverified or non-conforming component from moving to the next process. Process results, press curves, dimensional values and final status are captured against the individual component for complete manufacturing traceability.
Inspection Process
All critical holes, diameters, faces and assembly interfaces are verified before and after assembly.
- Mechanical gauging of critical holes and feature positions
- Verification of angular and radial hole connectivity
- Air gauging of internal diameters and precision bores
- LVDT and laser-based dimensional inspection
Precision Assembly
Controlled assembly stations ensure correct component presence, orientation, pressing force and final position.
- Ball pressing on both ends of the shaft
- Plug pressing with position confirmation
- Dowel pressing with height verification
- Servo press force-displacement monitoring
ZDM Controls
The line is designed around process interlocking, controlled rejection and traceable quality data.
- Pass-to-proceed station interlocking
- Automatic OK and NG segregation
- Recipe-based variant management
- Component-level inspection traceability
