PROBLEM:

To automate a very labor intensive operation of assembling a complete oil filter from its various components, including inspecting after every phase of the process for quality control. Once assembled, the complete oil filter assembly must be inspected to insure that all components are present prior to discharge for pack out into finished goods.

	Provide additional inspection stations throughout the process for any missing components.
	Use of heavy duty pucks as transporting carriers throughout the entire assembly process.

EQUIPMENT FURNISHED:

	Four (4) continuous motion assembly turrets each with eight (8) stations.
	A closed loop table top conveying system linking all processes together.
	Gasket vibratory feed system.
	Three (3) inspection/rejection systems.
