<VV> LM gas tank filler neck

[monza67 at aol.com]

We charge A/C units on the tractor assembly lines at the plant?where I work.? Although our tractors aren't built at the same production rate as cars, the charging operation is a highly automated operation utilizing progammable controlers (PLC'a). The hoses are plugged in by an assembler, the?operation is initiated and the evac, oil addition, charging and verifications are all completed automatically. Our equipment was designed and built by a company that does it for the automotive industry. 


Just my 2 pennies.

The factory uses a vaccuum system to fill the brake system. Works very  fast. I've seen it in action. As to the a/c, not sure how that's done, but  I imagine it's equally fast. Remember that they can afford industrial-sized  equipment.    I'm also sure that the factory has special tools and methods to minimize  the time in any of our "time-consuming" tasks. After all, they have to  think of everything, no matter how minute a detail, when it comes to  assembling the car on a moving production line. And believe me, once you've  seen it in action, you'll say to yourself "of course, why didn't I think of  that!"
