X257 Electric Steering Actuator Line Install

TOA recently designed, built, and installed a first-of-its-kind Linear Steering Actuator assembly line. The machine is essentially a Servo Motor that drives a ball screw for precise and efficient forklift steering. It assists an operator in building a unit from start to finish, including:

1. Using Kistler servo presses to install bearings and bushings repeatably and reliably while collecting press-curve data for data storage purposes.

2. Several Atlas Copco wireless nut runners for quality assurance.

3. A custom Ballnut Assembly station that inserts 240 ball bearings into a ball nut/shaft assembly.

4. An automated Oil Fill station that precisely meters and measures 650mL of oil.

5. A custom PC programming station that matches the Linear Actuator’s controller to its unique motor properties (essentially tuning the servo).
