Ball-Type Manifold Assembly Machine

Automatic assembly for 2–8 branch ball-type manifolds, including a connected bonnet pre-assembly module and automatic transfer.

Production challenge

Manifold length and branch count vary, but every branch valve must be positioned and assembled consistently without multiplying dedicated machines.

Dading solution

The platform accommodates 2–8 branches at 40–50 mm spacing. A dedicated bonnet pre-assembly module connects automatically to the main equipment so all branch valves can be assembled in a coordinated sequence.

Engineering priorities

The details that protect output and quality.

The final machine architecture is confirmed against customer samples, drawings, applicable standards and the agreed acceptance protocol.

Configurable branch count

The documented machine supports manifolds with two through eight branches.

40–50 mm pitch

Tooling is configured for the customer’s branch spacing within the stated range.

Parallel branch assembly

Ball valves are assembled across the required branches in one coordinated operation.

Connected bonnet module

Bonnet pre-assembly and transfer are automatic rather than separate manual work.
