Right-Shoring Your Supply Chain: Balancing Cost, Risk and Resilience

Save the date:
Thursday, June 26 // 1 p.m. ET

Choosing the right supply chain strategy isn’t just about cost—it’s about understanding and managing risk, supply chain resilience and creating long-term value for your organization. As manufacturers navigate tariffs, supply chain disruptions and evolving regulations, the question is no longer just offshoring vs. reshoring—but rather, choosing the right models to strategically balance proximity, cost and risk.

Join Todd Bauman, senior supply chain director, and Uwe Krueger, executive vice president, transportation with Ascential Technologies, for an expert-led webinar that breaks down key supply chain models and explains how to choose between them for sustainable success

Auto Toe Set Systems

Our robotic Auto Toe Set system (ATS) consists of two robots with torque gun end-effectors used in conjunction with BEPCO’s non-contact alignment (NCA) machine to automatically adjust vehicle toe to desired settings.

Our ATS system is highly configurable, allowing greater flexibility when dealing with changes in vehicle design and production processes. For example, if the position of the tie rod changes the robots can simply be re-taught or a new vehicle type can be quickly added—if the properties of the tie rod change (and there is a change in toe value) as the jam nut is tightened this can also be accounted for, keeping final toe values as close to the desired value as possible.

Auto Toe Set Systems

Our NCA machines dynamically measure the angle and position of the wheels—using this information, the robots loosen the jam nuts, adjust the tie rod, and finally tighten the jam nuts to a specified torque.

The combination of robots that automate the toe set procedure and extensive cycle data collection allows for reduced and consistent cycle times.
