Automotive Industry Recruitment Case: Adoption of Automatic Quick Connect and Disconnect Test Bench

Introduction of a case study on automatic bulk attachment and detachment at Jianghuai Automobile Group Corp., Ltd. (JAC)

Jianghuai Automobile Group Corp. (JAC) is a Chinese automobile manufacturer that produces commercial vehicles, public transportation vehicles, and alternative energy vehicles, and also develops gearboxes and engines. With Stäubli's quick coupling, MCS, and MPS systems, JAC's manufacturing processes have become more efficient and reliable. By minimizing the maintenance required to keep these systems operational, JAC has significantly reduced operational costs, optimized facility efficiency, and improved productivity. Stäubli's Multi Coupling System (MCS) has provided a safe and reliable connector solution designed to JAC's specifications. By using the MCS, multiple energy sources can be connected in one location. The MCS can also be used in the assembly process to connect all fluid circuits and electrical circuits. Stäubli's MPS tool changer achieves design flexibility in the manufacturing process, particularly in handling and welding operations, with minimal design. The highly reliable MPS tool changer ensures frequent and secure connections and disconnections of water, air, and electrical circuits.

basic information

Stobli's solutions are integrated at both the cold test and hot test stages. The direct coupling (RPE), which can be directly connected to dedicated hose fittings designed to meet customer specifications, is used for connecting to the engine's hose fittings and for connecting all fluid circuits between the test bench and the engine. Manual or automatic MCS has been adopted in the test bench process to simultaneously connect all fluid and electrical circuits (water, oil, air, signals, power).
