How Axlon Brought Two Platforms Onto One Line

Overview
Axlon needed to build two vehicle platforms on a single line without losing a shift to changeover. Here's how robotic assembly made it possible.
Axlon's line was built for one platform. Adding a second meant either a costly parallel line or hours lost to manual changeover between runs. Neither fit their volume targets.
The challenge
Switching tooling, fixtures, and weld paths by hand took most of a shift. Every changeover was a window where quality drifted and output stopped.
What we built
Precept engineered a robotic assembly cell with interchangeable end-of-arm tooling and stored weld programs for both platforms. Changeover became a software call, not a manual rebuild.
The result
Two platforms now run down the same line with changeover measured in minutes. Output rose and warranty claims tied to inconsistent joints fell to near zero.
