AddisonMckee has been
commissioned, under its
‘Eagle’ brand name, to
manufacture both new and
rebuilt equipment on behalf
of one of the world’s largest
exhaust manufacturers to
produce the muffler assembly
for Chrysler’s ‘C’ platform
vehicle in the United States.

The AddisonMckee
solution features a lockseamer
with a sheet de-stacker
system and tool changer
interfaced to a shell flanger
and muffler internal baffle
stuffer. The company says it
broke new ground in the
process by interfacing the
front end muffler module to
a robot and press that
removes a shell from the
transfer system and loads and
unloads an AM-supplied 50
T press to produce the side
entry hole and extrusion. It
then returns it to the transfer
system for stuffing.

The company is also
completing the rebuild of a
horizontal spinner transfer.
