Team 6

Capacitor Assembly Automation

   

Introduction

Team 6 Is working towards developing an automated process for a capacitor assembly manufactured by Unison Industries in Jacksonville, Florida. The main objective of this project is to develop an automated process to manufacure the capacitor assemblies. The current process is very labor intensive and requires various steps, which slows down the production of these products. The steps include placing tape on each section of the capacitors, stacking the capacitors, soldering electrical tabs, wrapping the stacked capacitors, taping the entire package and doing a dimensional check. Another portion of this project is dedicated to creating a process to do a final dimensional check on all three dimensions at once, instead of measuring each dimension one at a time. This will also speed up the assembly time for this part.
