Abstract

An automated container wheel manufacturing system includes a bracket and wheel end cap laser and staging subsystem, an axle sawing subsystem, an axle housing machining subsystem, and a wheel pipe sawing subsystem. The wheel end cap laser and staging subsystem is configured to manufacture mounting brackets and wheel end caps, the axle sawing subsystem is configured to manufacture axle housings, the axle housing machining subsystem is configured to manufacture axle housings, and the wheel pipe sawing subsystem is configured to manufacture wheel pipes. An assembly and welding area includes a plurality of robotic welding arms and an I-beam to which the plurality of robotic welding arms are attached for movement within a robotic zone. There is an axle housing and wheel end cap welding region, a wheel pipe welding region, and a bracket and axle welding region.
