Process Overview

Semi-Automated JIT Production Environment

• Utilizing custom built semi-automated equipment that allows for quick changeovers

Idler Manufacturing Equipment

• Bearing set by standard stroke to eliminate end play, and ensure bearing alignment
• Idler is rejected if its rolling resistance is outside of tolerance
• Automated Conveyor Paint System

MFG Capacity

• Throughput of 1,500 Linear FT/Day or 30,000 FT/Month

Robotic Welder Process

• Ensures consistent Weld coverage around circumference of the Bearing Cavity
• Aligns Bearing Cavities accurately from end to end with Servo controlled locating arms
• Tacks end cap prior to welding final bead to minimize heat draw that would cause additional Indicated Run Out

Unique Manufacturing Process New Shaft

• Manufacturing Process allows any Hub design to machined directly into the steel shaft
