Automating the Assembly Process of Passenger Car Gearboxes

Aims: The study aims to identify ways and potential solutions to automate the assembly and production process for passenger car gearboxes.

Object of Research: Assembly and production process for car gearboxes.

Subject of Research: Modern and evolutionary automation tools that have the potential to be implemented in the assembly processes of automotive transmission controls.

Methodology: To achieve this goal, as part of this study, it is planned to apply methods of bibliometric analysis of leading scientometric databases to obtain correlation relationships and analytical conclusions regarding the vector of development of automation means of passenger car gearbox assembly process.

Results: As a result of the research by means of scientometric analysis and correlation the vector of probabilistic technical solutions of integration and development of automation means of the sequence of production operations during the assembly of the transmission, as well as adaptive framework-design solutions for the implementation of tools of the fourth iteration of industrial-industrial progress in the production processes of assembly of the studied technical control means and logical-technological connection of the elements of the transmission system, which affect the overall process of automotive manufacturization.

Conclusion: The passenger car gearbox is a multi-component, complex system whose assembly is a complex multi-operational process, and given the high responsibility of this machine element, there is an urgent need to introduce modern automation tools into the assembly and production processes, which will significantly optimize global automatofactoring. The practical results of the present study consist in the formation of a focus scientometric database of profile data, identification of a potential vector of development of means and systems of automation of assembly-production operations, identification and formation of solutions for the implementation of modern means of automated production in the actual global automotive manufacturing, which allows to get the optimum ratio of production costs/quality of products by improving the manufacturability, productivity and flexibility of processes of assembly of multi-element and multi-component automotive systems and structures.
