Pipe Fitting & Sleeve Nut Assembly
Flexible automatic assembly for straight, tee and sleeve-nut fittings with controlled feeding and tray sorting.
Production challenge
Straight fittings, tees and sleeve-nut products share components but differ in geometry and presentation, making stable feeding and economical changeover central to the automation concept.
Dading solution
Dading combines bulk feeding or tray sorting with orientation checks, automatic nut and sleeve assembly and final presence inspection. Product-specific nests and recipes allow one platform to cover an agreed fitting family.

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.
Feeding strategy by component
Bulk feeders and trays are selected according to geometry, surface sensitivity and required flexibility.
Orientation control
Vision or mechanical error-proofing confirms fitting position before assembly.
Modular tooling
Change parts isolate product-specific geometry from the common machine platform.
Final completeness check
Sleeve, nut and fitting presence are verified before accepted parts leave the system.
