PBR Columbia utilizes workcell concept to produce brake calipers.


USER--PBR Automotive, Columbia, South Carolina Columbia is the state capital and largest city of South Carolina. As of 2006, estimates for the population of the city proper is 122,819[1]. Columbia is the county seat of Richland County, but a small portion of the city extends into Lexington County. , a subsidiary of Pacifica Group, Melbourne, Australia--a manufacturer of automotive components and friction materials.

OPERATION--PBR's Columbia casting plant manufactures a range of aluminum caliper caliper

Instrument that consists of two adjustable legs or jaws for measuring the dimensions of material parts. Spring calipers have an adjusting screw and nut; firm-joint calipers use friction at the joint to hold the legs unmoving.
 castings.

PROBLEMS--Design and build a total workcell for the casting of aluminum brake calipers that will: provide needed flexibility, accommodate PBR's proprietary mold mounting system, provide the ability to engineer the cooler to match the production rate of the casting cell with the appropriate heat removal rate, maximize ergonomic ergonomic - Concerning ergonomics or exhibitting good ergonimics.  benefits and minimize floor space requirements.

SOLUTION--In conjunction with PBR's technology arm, Pacifica Group Technologies, CMH CMH Center of Military History
CMH Commission on Macroeconomics and Health
CMH Chief of Military History
CMH Children's Memorial Hospital
CMH Ceramic Metal Halide (General Electric light source)
