Client Overview:
The client, Anhui Zhongding Huitong Automotive Parts Co., Ltd., is a leading manufacturer in the automotive components sector. They specialize in producing high-quality steering systems and suspension components. To further enhance the reliability and performance of their products, the client sought an advanced testing solution capable of measuring the torque of various automotive parts, such as IGB, OGB, connectors, and main pins.

Challenge:
The client needed a highly accurate and automated system to test the torque of automotive components under different conditions, including swinging torque and rotation torque. The system needed to assess products’ torque resistance while maintaining flexibility for testing various parts and ensuring compliance with relevant automotive standards.

Solution:
RIG designed and delivered the WJFT035 Automatic Torque Testing Machine, which precisely measures the swinging torque and rotational torque of automotive components. Key features of the solution include:

1. Dual Testing Stations: The machine includes two distinct stations—swinging torque station and rotation torque station—to test products under different operational conditions.
2. Automatic Product Handling: The system uses an industrial robot arm to automatically place products and initiate pre-swing and pre-rotation processes. This automation enhances the testing efficiency and reduces the possibility of human error.
3. Servo Motors for Precision: The machine uses servo motors for precise control of the swinging and rotation movements, enabling accurate torque measurements with an adjustable range of up to ±40° rotation and ±20° swing.
4. Adjustable Torque Measurement: The torque detection range covers swinging torque, working torque, and start-up torque, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of each product’s performance under various conditions.
5. Advanced Data Processing and Display: The system is equipped with a high-resolution monitoring system that records real-time data, displaying torque values, angle-time curves, and other critical performance metrics.
6. User-Friendly Interface: The machine’s software interface allows operators to adjust parameters such as torque, frequency, and time intervals, while also providing real-time displays of testing results and torque waveforms.

Implementation:
After the machine was delivered, RIG’s team worked closely with the client to install the system and ensure it was calibrated for accurate performance. Comprehensive training was provided to the client’s operators, covering machine operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Results:

• Increased Testing Efficiency: The automation of product handling and torque measurement reduced manual labor and increased the speed of testing, allowing for a faster testing cycle time of around 60 seconds per unit.
• Improved Product Reliability: The machine provided detailed data on the torque performance of each product, enabling the client to fine-tune their designs and ensure higher product reliability.
• Enhanced Data Accuracy: The system’s precise torque measurements and real-time data collection ensured that all test results were accurate and repeatable, supporting the client’s commitment to quality assurance and performance standards.

Conclusion:
The WJFT035 Automatic Torque Testing Machine provided the client with a reliable and efficient solution for testing the torque resistance of automotive components. By automating the testing process and offering real-time data analysis, RIG helped the client improve their product quality and manufacturing efficiency, ensuring that their components meet the high standards of the automotive industry.
