Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of steering knuckle production, specifically relating to a multi-station integrated pressing equipment for automotive steering knuckles. Background Technology

[0002] Steering knuckles, due to design requirements or customer specifications, require the installation of bushings, ball joints, and steel sleeves after machining. Because of their diverse shapes, the number of press-fitting machines needed varies depending on the product characteristics.
