Chassis
- The chassis of the ASP consists of a tooled vibratory feeder bowl,
electronic control box, lubrication system, and all mechanisms required
to operate the machine. The components are mounted on a compact
base plate.
The lubrication system is incorporated into the ASP to ensure that
the seal slides, not rolls, off the mandrel onto the part. The standard
lubrication system can accommodate a variety of lubricants with
a viscosity of between 50 and 350 centistokes. Lubricants thicker
than this must be evaluated separately. Some standard lubricants
include alcohol, brake fluid, mineral oil, motor oil, PAG oil, silicone
oil, transmission fluid, and vegetable oil.
It is important to note that the lubrication system is designed
to prevent the seal from rolling during the installation process.
It is not meant to thoroughly coat the seal.
Installation Head - The installation head is the
portion of the machine that installs the O-ring or seal onto the
part. It is custom for each application. By purchasing additional
head assemblies, different size O-rings can be installed using the
same chassis.
The installation head consists of a feed track, internal plates,
mandrel, and a set of stripper jaws. The feed track carries the
O-rings from the feeder bowl into the head. Inside the head, the
internal plates position an O-ring for installation. The mandrel
expands the O-ring and positions the part at the correct depth for
O-ring installation. The stripper jaws strip the expanded O-ring
off the mandrel and onto the part.
