The production process of light trucks includes several key steps that ensure the quality and performance of the vehicle. Here is an overview of the main production processes and automated assembly lines:
1.Frame Assembly: The frame is the core part of the light truck chassis, including components such as longitudinal beams and cross beams. The production process involves techniques like roll forming, CNC gusset punching, and plasma cutting.
2.Wire Harness and Piping Layout: The wire harness serves as an important link for the entire vehicle chassis and needs to be laid from the front to the rear of the vehicle. The brake pipeline is designed inside the belly of the frame, connected to the brake and ABS.
3.Front and Rear Axle Assembly: The front and rear axles include assemblies such as brake assemblies and shock absorbers, which are usually combined on a sub-assembly platform and then hoisted onto the line as a whole, with pins tightened to the required torque.
4.Engine Installation: After the engine is assembled on the sub-assembly line, it is hoisted onto the frame line for assembly and fixed, and connected to the transmission and driveshaft.
5.Exhaust and Urea System Assembly: After the engine assembly is completed, the exhaust system and urea system are assembled.
6.Interior Assembly: This includes the assembly of the interior parts of the cab, such as seats and dashboards.
7.Electronic System Assembly: This includes the connection of wire harnesses and the insertion of ECUs to ensure the normal operation of the vehicle's electronic systems.
In terms of automated assembly lines, the light truck production line integrates several automated processes to improve production efficiency and ensure product quality:
1.Automated Stamping Line: Advanced presses and robots are used to achieve automated production of stamping parts.
2.Automated Welding Line: Robots are used for welding operations to improve welding quality and efficiency.
3.Painting Line: Automated painting technology is used to improve the quality and efficiency of painting.
4.Final Assembly Line: Integrates multiple processes to achieve rapid vehicle assembly.
5.Inspection Line: Includes various testing equipment to ensure the quality of the vehicles coming off the line.
The combination of these automated assembly lines and production processes not only improves efficiency but also ensures the consistency and reliability of the vehicles.
