Hearing Aid Assembly and Testing
challenge
solution
The client partnered with our team, and over a six-month period prototypes were co-engineered for the most difficult to automate tasks. Some product changes were made. Most important, the testing gave the client the experience and confidence necessary to automate these techniques.
Due to the throughput requirements, some of the more challenging aspects of this project were the bulk feeding of large quantities of small parts and accommodating certain assembly processes that required much more dwell time than the 3.5 second cycle rate.
outcomes and benefits
• Precision welding, soldering, dispensing, laser etching, and sealing operations on very small sub-assemblies
• Extensive sonic response testing prior to pack-out
• Birth certificate and data management
• Cycle rate of 3.5 seconds per assembly, for 5,000,000 assemblies per year
