Introduction:

The objective of this information is to clearly define the scope of the potential supply, taking into account a modular system concept composed of:
  • a first automatic station dedicated to rod sub-assembly, and
  • a second automatic station, either separate or integrated, for the complete cylinder assembly.
To prepare a technically accurate and commercially aligned proposal for an automated assembly system for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders, preliminary production data is required. This information will define the scope of supply and support the development of a modular and scalable system architecture aligned with your manufacturing requirements. The collected data will be used to properly size the equipment, determine the appropriate automation level, establish cycle time targets, and configure the system to meet current and future production demands. This structured approach enables the development of a reliable, flexible, and scalable automated assembly solution tailored to your production environment.

General Production Information:

  • Annual and/or weekly production volumes (overall and by cylinder type);
  • Expected takt time or productivity targets.
  • Production batch size (high mix / low volume vs. standardized production);
  • Number of shifts per day:
