Using machine vision to provide 100% on line testing for MDI production, machines that detect and segregate products with non-spraying and continuous spraying valves work at 120 units/min.

A coordinated effort between Newing-Hall and AFS resulted in a two-station, magazine and bowl fed, programmable engraving system to imprint three different hydraulic pump parts.
The crankshaft assembly line consists of 27 automated lines and individual universal and special metal-working machines for crankshaft repairs.
Foreign companies, such as "Heller", "Hegenscheidt", "Naxos-Union", "Schenck", "Helling" Germany, "Toyoda Machine Works " Japan , "Marposs" Italy, and also domestic companies such as Kostroma automated lines' machine plant, Kolomensk KSKB, Moscow plant "Krasniy proletariy", Scientific research institute "Tractoroselhozmash" and others took part in the design, and equipment manufacturing process.
Loading and unloading of the machines is effected by "Beroe" manipulators (robots), Bulgaria, inter-operational transmission is effected by DSO "ZMM" and EII "Pobeda", Bulgaria - step-by-step conveyors.
The whole range of crankshaft production is ensured by a common cutting emulsion system, supplied to machines by pipelines.
Cutting emulsion is also a carrier for slag and shavings (waste-chips).
Automatic shavings removal is ensured by scraper chains.
Line emulsion preparation is centralised in the basements.
Guidance control of all automated machines is ensured by program controllers (personal computer) by the following companies: "Allen-Bradley", "Henaval" USA, "Finerol, Mitsubishi Electric CORP"., "Toyoda PC" Japan, " UNI PRO 80, Heller" Germany and "Festo Eectronic" Czechia.
Equipment supply and assembling were done during 1985 to 1987.
Outwear was observed in 20-25%.
Presently the line is active but due to cease production at the end of May, 2006.
A range of equipment permits the possibility of redesign and re-arrangement to produce other crankshaft dimensions of: L = 1000-1200 mm, D = 250-380 mm.
