“In our case, we are talking about hydraulic motors intended for earthmoving machinery, so critical components that must guarantee reliability under very demanding operating conditions.”

• Assembly of heavy components with very tight tolerances
• High flexibility to manage product variants
• Need to operate in a harsh industrial environment
• Integrated quality control during assembly phases

“The main difficulty was combining precision and robustness: the components are heavy, but the tolerances are still very tight.”

• Automated cell with anthropomorphic robots for handling and assembly operations
• Integration of artificial vision systems for component recognition and positioning
• Assembly stations with force and coupling control
• Layout designed to ensure flexibility across multiple product variants

“The integration of robotics and vision was essential to manage variability without losing precision.”

• High precision in couplings
• Reduced assembly errors
• Ability to manage multiple models on the same line
• Greater process reliability even under demanding conditions

“Today we have a stable process that combines robustness and precision, which is not easy in this type of application.”
