Cinetic Automation was awarded with a purchase order of two washers and one robotic deburring machine in the first quarter of this year from Detroit Diesel for their HDE cylinder head manufacturing program.
Cinetic Automation unique approach to the washer station design proved to be a winning solution. Cinetic Automation combined a non traditional “clam shell door” design machine with a servo controlled wash halo solution and then used a vacuum drying chamber to ensure not only a clean cylinder head but also a dry cylinder head.
Detroit Diesel requires cleanliness specifications that lead the North American diesel market in particle size and count. Cinetic Automation was the only company during the bidding process that could prove capability with regards to the cleanliness specification.
Machine and part access for routine maintenance and station verification is achieved thru the power lifted clamshell doors. Cleaning is provided thru Cinetic Automation’s Halo design spray system. Servo control of the washing halo and part rotate provides pinpoint accuracy for special feature cleaning on the part.
The three components of the order consist of:
- One intermediate Cylinder Head wash system with servo wash halo, rotate and vacuum drying.
- One final wash system with servo wash halo and rotate, vacuum drying and high pressure fuel gallery cleaning.
- One robotic brush deburr system consisting of surface brushing and bottle brushing for the fuel and oil galleries.
All these equipment should be delivered for January 2011.
