Abstract
Mounting of an axle module to a chassis frame is carried out in vertically normal orientation (not in an inverted state). In the process, no heavy-duty equipment or steps are required to hoist chassis frames in the air and turn them upside down. The ceiling space above production lines is reduced. A method and a device are provided for mounting axle modules that are suitable for supplying to a rotary assembly stand. An axle module is transported to a first support stand in normal orientation and a chassis frame is transported to a second support stand also in normal orientation. By lifting the first support stand its mounting ends are aligned with the mounting brackets of the chassis frame. Cylinder means and hovering means are used for lifting.
Claims14
A work method for axle module mounting, comprising:
- a first step of placing an axle module on a first support stand in normal orientation,
- a second step of placing a chassis frame on a second support stand in normal orientation such that the chassis frame is positioned above the axle module, and
- a third step of raising the first support stand to bring mounting ends on the axle module in proximity to mounting ends on the chassis frame.
An axle module mounting device comprising:
- a first support stand for placing an axle module in normal orientation;
- a second support stand for placing a chassis frame such that the chassis is positioned above the axle module placed on the first support stand;
- and
- raising means for raising the first support stand, with the axle module placed thereon, to a position used for mounting to a chassis frame.
