DOOR CARRIERS AT JAGUAR
|
With the increasing trend within the industry towards flexible lines able to cater for the manufacture of more than one type or variant of a vehicle, new challenges arose for the Door carrier product. |
CK have addressed this with the introduction to our Door carriers, of a simple pivot device allowing the operator to easily switch between tooling for different types of door. This device is shown in the picture on the right. Such a carrier was supplied to cater for the Long Wheel Base (LWB) and Short Wheel Base (SWB) versions of the Jaguar XJ.

In a further development to the CK Door carriers, we have added the option of a manual wind mechanism to give a height adjustment. This allows operators to adjust the position of the door within the carrier to give the best ergonomic working height for each ‘dressing’ process without the need for complex conveyor configurations or working platforms. Gas springs are included within the design to counteract varying door weights during the assembly process. |
