Tooling and fixture system for automatic gas meter production lines that is compatible with various types of residential gas meters and requires no adjustment.

Abstract

This invention discloses a tooling and fixture system for an automated gas meter production line that is compatible with multiple types of residential gas meters without adjustment. The system includes a container stacked on top of each other, and a robot used in conjunction with the container near the container. The robot's input is electrically connected to the output of the tooling and fixture system's main controller. The system also includes an adaptive gripper mechanism, a conveyor, an integrated testing platform, and a battery compartment power supply interface mechanism. This tooling and fixture system for an automated gas meter production line offers excellent compatibility, allowing a single set of tooling and fixtures to work with multiple types of meters. This significantly reduces equipment and management costs. When changing production orders for different gas meters, it greatly improves production efficiency and reduces production costs. Furthermore, the tooling and fixtures of this invention are suitable for both manual and automated production, reducing the repetitive investment required for gas meter manufacturers and testing institutes to upgrade their automation systems.
