At the same time, the eddy current detection equipment checks whether the internal structure of the sleeve has defects. The inspected sleeve is placed on the turntable for subsequent assembly. The inspected sleeve is sent to the turntable feeding mechanism 2 by the conveying mechanism, and is placed in an appropriate position on the turntable by a robot or an automated device. Then, the MMC size of the sleeve is detected by the MMC and retaining ring groove detection mechanism.

It is responsible for pre-installing the sleeve onto the shaft rod, preparing for the subsequent assembly work, ensuring the accurate pre-installation and fixation of the sleeve, and then entering the middle position assembly mechanism 309 process, through which the middle position assembly mechanism 309 is responsible for the middle position assembly work, assembling different parts together, and after the middle position assembly mechanism 309 is completed, it is transported to the outer end large clamp feeding and installation mechanism 310, and the outer end large clamp feeding and installation mechanism 310 is responsible for installing the outer end large clamp onto the shaft rod, ensuring the accurate installation and connection of the large clamp, and after the half-axle large clamp is installed, it is transported to the automatic In the process of labeling mechanism 311, the automatic labeling mechanism 311 is responsible for automatically labeling the assembly, marking and tracking, ensuring accurate labeling and identification.
