Delphi’s
190,000 sq. ft. plant in Vienna Township produces
approximately 400 different parts for over 100 customers. The
molding process uses 23 resin families and approximately 90
different compounds. The plants 120 injection presses are
currently being expanded with the addition of presses being
moved from Delphi’s Cortland facility. The plant operates a
sophisticated material-handling system, which handles up to 32
materials at a time.
The Vienna
plant operates 3 turns making a variety of connector housings,
clips, clamps, and related components on Fanuc Roboshot Si-B
all-electric presses. Each machine is modified for Delphi with
an interface to the auxiliary equipment in the manufacturing
cell, an Ethernet hub, and special controls that are
compatible with the plant-wide GE Fanuc Cimplicity
manufacturing system, which ties virtually every piece of
equipment in the plant to one control room. Each cell has a
press-side granulator with sensors to detect the presence of
material that needs to be ground, plus vacuum take-away of
regrind to bins for reuse. The cell also has a barcode printer
to produce labels for each container of finished parts, and
the cell sends a signal for an automated guided vehicle (AGV)
to pick up the parts and deliver them to the shipping area. |
