Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated assembly line technology, and in particular to a multi-functional inspection line for automotive steering knuckles. Background Technology

[0002] The steering knuckle, also known as the steering horn, is one of the important components of the automotive steering axle. It enables the car to drive stably and transmits the driving direction sensitively. The function of the steering knuckle is to transmit and bear the load of the front of the car, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin to steer the car. When the car is in motion, it bears varying impact loads.

[0003] The steering knuckle of a car bears a considerable amount of force when the car is in motion. Even the slightest defect can cause it to malfunction and affect driving safety. Therefore, by using testing equipment to perform multi-functional tests on the steering knuckle before it leaves the factory, these potential problems can be detected early.
