he pins were proving very difficult to manipulate by hand and to meet specific clean room process specifications. Due to this SPIROL recommended the use of a standard Pin Insertion machine, customised to meet the specific application needs of the customer. The pin to be inserted would ultimately be used in the human
body and therefore there were strict cleanliness requirements to prevent any risk of contamination. For example, the pin could not come into contact with epoxy paint or steel during the installation process. Therefore all the parts of the SPIROL Pin Insertion machine that would be in direct contact with the pin had to be manufactured from a specific list of materials and finishes. Inert (300 series) stainless steel, and Delrin®
TM polymer was used
for all machine components that came in direct contact with the pin. Electro-less nickel plating and white epoxy paint were employed in all other non-contact areas. The machine also provided an operator interface for a functional workstation in the assembly environment. An Allen-Bradley®
Touch Screen HMI was integrated in place of
conventional buttons and switches, and an ergonomic adjustable table was provided to mount all machine components and to provide operator comfort. Additional machine features included pin installation force
monitoring, installed depth sensing, a soft start pneumatic system, external control system access port for data acquisition and an infra-red safety light curtain with full perimeter guarding.
Ford extols the virtues of Loctite liquid gasketing
Ford says that its one litre Fox engine, designed at its Dagenham Diesel Centre (DDC), has the highest output per displacement of any high volume production engine on the market with a power output of 124hp.

his revolutionary engine will be standard in the Ford Focus and many other future models and includes many technological improvements including the use of Loctite 5900 room temperature vulcanising (RTV) silicone for sealing the highly stressed joints. The powerful new Ford engine is small and more highly stressed than old designs. This is
a common trend and one to which Henkel gasketing products have responded. To meet the need for a flexible product to accommodate the increased vibration, Henkel recommended its Loctite 5900 silicone for sealing oil pan and front cover joints on the Fox engine, a thixotropic black paste that when cured has excellent performance in engine oils. “The Ford design rules dictate that the walls of an engine block should be a certain thickness”,
explains Tsunou Chang, Ford’s liquid sealing specialist. “However, progress comes out of challenging traditional ideas, and our designers had proved in studies that thinner walls were do-able. This meant the RTV process had to seal the engine with reduced wall thickness and that presented Henkel with a challenge.” Also used on the Fox engine is Loctite 5182, an anaerobic gel adhesive. This has been modified
specifically for Ford’s use for sealing cam caps. Sealant beads are small on this engine and it is therefore essential that the gel is dispensed accurately and bubble-free to ensure no bead breaks occur as any inconsistencies could compromise engine sealing. As a result this product is now centrifuged during the production process to prevent such an occurrence.
