Automotive Engine Mount Assembly Machine

Arnold Machine, designed, built, tested, and installed this featured automotive engine mount assembly machine. Using drawings supplied by the client and engineered in Solid Edge, we designed the mechanical assembly and the controls—manufacturing required a wide range of processes. Composed of structural steel, aluminum steel, delrin, UHMW, polycarbonate, and tool steel, we began work with mechanical and controls engineering. A combination of laser cutting, CNC press breaking, welding, CNC milling and turning, and mechanical assembly resulted in the basic mount assembly. Next, we conducted electrical wiring and PLC programming, and applied material thickness with painting and powder. We tested the component to ensure the integrity of the engine mount assembly machine, and finished the component with a combination of painting, black oxide, and anodizing. Weighing 4,500 lbs, the final assembly measured 12' long, 7' wide, and 7' tall, and we achieved a +/- .0005" tightest tolerance.
