Fully Automated Pressure Tank Assembly Line
We designed and deployed a fully automated pressure tank assembly line for our client, transforming their conventional production into a highly efficient system to reduce labor dependency, improve throughput, and ensure consistent quality.
The Opportunity
Our client sought to transform a conventional pressure tank production line into a highly efficient, automated system. The key objectives were to reduce labor dependency, improve throughput, and ensure consistent production quality across every unit. The challenge was to integrate multiple complex manufacturing processes—such as welding, pressing, and leak testing—into a seamless, robot-driven assembly line.

The challenge was to integrate multiple complex manufacturing processes—such as welding, pressing, and leak testing—into a seamless, robot-driven assembly line.
What We Did
We designed and deployed a fully automated pressure tank assembly line powered by 11 high-precision FANUC robots, each responsible for distinct tasks within a continuous single-piece flow system. To support this, we integrated:
- Vibratory bowl feeders for precise part orientation.
- Hydraulic pressing and projection welding stations.
- Standard welding units and automated leak testing.
- Custom End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT) for all robot arms.
- Festo-based grippers, optimized for performance and cost-efficiency.
Each robotic cell was configured for maximum adaptability, ensuring fluid part handling and uninterrupted operation throughout the production cycle.
