Assembly Workstation with Indexing Mechanism
Client Industry: Automotive & Non-Automotive
Scope: Precision Workstation Design & Indexing System Integration
Application: Semi-Automated Assembly with Positional Accuracy
Project Overview:
FindNext Engineering Services developed a compact, operator-friendly assembly workstation with an indexing mechanism for a client handling diverse small-to-medium-sized components. The solution enables guided, sequential audio-visual poka-yoke assembly using Pick-to-Light (PICA-PICA) sensors and indexed positions—ensuring error-proof operations, operator guidance, and consistent process control.This setup is ideal for manual or semi-automatic operations, where multiple actions must occur in sequence without the complexity of a full conveyor system.
Key Features:
– Circular indexing table for guided, multi-station assembly
– High positional accuracy for repeatable tasks
– Designed for operator ergonomics and process safety
– Easily scalable with fixtures, sensors, and vision cameras
– Supports manual tools, pneumatic devices, or pick & place arms
Why It Matters:
When full conveyor lines are excessive or space is limited, indexing-based workstations offer a smart alternative. They ensure faster setups, lower cost, and consistent part quality—especially for products needing multiple precise assembly steps.
Applications:
Perfect for assembling:
– Automotive components (connectors, relays, actuators)
– Electronic modules, appliance assemblies, and control devices
– Low-to-mid-volume production requiring high accuracy with flexibility
