2. Introduction
■ Now a days, to meet the customer demand within
time with higher accuracy is the major task.
■ To satisfy the customer demands, better
performanceAutomation play an important role for
various types of industrial like production,
manufacturing, engineering, automobile, medical,
defense, aerospace and space etc

3. Example:
■ Typical automotive industry consists of body shop,
paint shop, chassis line and a final assembly line.
■ In the body shop with the sheet metals the outer
structure of the vehicle is formed, by the help of robots
for spot welding, and material handling.
■ The vehicle body is transferred to the paint shop and
where it goes through various process such as
cleaning, electroplating, priming, final painting, and
clear coating.

4. Literature Survey
■ In the automotive industries wheel loading is the process to
attach the wheels on the vehicle body when the production line
is moving at some random speed.

5. ■ The cost of wheel loading is nearly million dollars every
year.
■ Hence the automated wheel loading process is at
higher demand Hence industrial robots have increased
in industry because of their flexibility and accuracy.
■ Hence to improve the vision system various sensors,
hybrid vision system, and intelligent control system to
complete the complicated assembly process and huge
amount of time and resource can be saved by adopting
automation.

6. AUTOW8T
■ AutoW8t is a patented innovative solution for dispensing,
cutting and applying the revolutionary 3M™ Wheel
Weight System in high speed tire assembly operations.
■ This automated precision wheel balance system
represents a leap forward in tire and wheel assembly
technology, dramatically improving the speed, quality
and cost of OEM high-speed tire balancing processes.

7. Auto Weight Apply System
■ The AutoWeight Apply (AWA) Machine is a fully
automatic breakthrough that has changed tire and wheel
assembly processes. Designed to have a very small
footprint, the AWA machine is typically installed
immediately after a balancer.

8. Physical automation of tasks
and process

10. Robotic arm
■ The most common manufacturing robot is the robotic
arm.
■ A typical robotic arm is made up of seven metal
segments, joined by six joints.This allows the
computer to move the arm very precisely, repeating
exactly the same movement over and over again.The
robot uses motion sensors to make sure it moves just
the right amount.

11. ■ An industrial robot with six joints closely resembles a
human arm -- it has the equivalent of a shoulder, an
elbow and a wrist.This type of robot has six degrees of
freedom, meaning it can pivot in six different ways.
■ The robotic arm's job is to move an end effector from
place to place.You can outfit robotic arms with all sorts of
end effectors, which are suited to a particular application.
One common end effector is a simplified version of the
hand, which can grasp and carry different objects.
Robotic hands often have built-in pressure sensors that
tell the computer how hard the robot is gripping a
particular object.

12. Advantages
■ Increased throughput or productivity.
■ Improved quality or increased predictability of quality.
■ Improved robustness(consistency), of processes or
product.
■ Reduced direct human labor costs and expenses.
■ Installation in operations reduces cycle time.
■ Can complete tasks where a high degree of accuracy is
required.
■ Replaces human operators in tasks that involve hard
physical or monotonous work

13. Disadvantages
■ Possible security threats/vulnerability due to increased
relative susceptibility for committing errors.
■ Unpredictable or excessive development costs.
■ High initial cost.
■ Displaces workers due to job replacement.

14. Conclusion
■ The main challenge of vehicle manufacturing industries
to make the balance between order- wining criterion of
cost, time and availability of product without
compromising the quality.
■ In this paper we have discussed about the application of
automation in different areas of manufacturing in vehicle
manufacturing industries.
