CM-A1 ~ A4 → Automatic Nipple Feeder – Bicycle Rim Assembly Line
《Case Description》
In bicycle rim assembly lines, traditional manual methods require workers to repeatedly pick up G12–G15 nipples and fasten them one by one. This process is not only time-consuming but also prone to issues such as dropped parts, mismatched sizes, and inconsistent quality. These challenges become more pronounced in high-volume production, often creating efficiency bottlenecks and increasing rework rates.
The SEALS CM-A1 ~ A4 Automatic Nipple Feeder for bicycle rims automatically delivers nipples precisely to the screwdriver tip. Operators only need to align the hole and push lightly to complete fastening. This design effectively shortens cycle times, enhances overall line stability, and reduces quality variations caused by operator skill differences. Actual application results show that production efficiency improves by more than 30%, training time for new staff is cut in half, and defect rates are significantly reduced. This helps production lines respond quickly to market demand while achieving the dual goals of high efficiency and high quality.
