At this station, the operator scans the part marking and the cell does the rest. The first step is for the bracket to be precision machined to specification, ensuring precise concentricity to the cam bracket mounting. Next is an automated clean out to ensure all metal chips are removed from the bore. Last is the automated bushing and seal installation process and robotic unloading. The cam brackets are then packaged for transport to the final kitting area or to their final assembly location. panorama_59C4DACD_57FD_51BB_41A0_FC568DAD6885.subtitle = Kitting, shipping and receiving serves as a sub-process to improve the efficiency and delivery of our interplant and aftermarket partners. Associates pick spiders, brackets, dust shields and other components based on made-to-order kits that are requested by customers. From this area alone, we have the ability to ship over 4,000 brakes worth of components daily with superior quality and precision. panorama_59C41637_57FD_30D7_41C0_658B1F552BB0.subtitle = Meritor is a global braking leader both in size and capability for the commercial vehicle industry and offers a full line up of drum, hydraulic and air disc brakes.

With over 3,000 finished part configurations, it's designed to push the proliferation until the very end of the fabrication process so spiders can essentially be custom made to order. The flexibility of this line means we can produce any existing configuration in as little as 4-minutes. All spiders are machine controlled and direct part marked for major component validation. We have carried that same major component assembly process from drum brakes into our air disc brake process due to it’s success. This process runs 5 days a week at volumes of 2,040 spiders per day. panorama_59C4A732_57FD_F0E9_419A_3D1A732F3237.subtitle = The accountability room displays rolled-up plant metrics from various manufacturing value streams. It includes countermeasures and actions to resolve issues to ensure we achieve the expected results for safety, quality, delivery, productivity, and morale. The accountability room is a fundamental process in the Meritor Production System to drive performance cadences and accountability to actions. Each morning, staff reviews key performance indicators and identifies actions to improve the plant floor. Employee recognition also takes place in this stand-up style meeting space. panorama_59C40F65_57FE_EF6B_41B4_0674A446FE60.subtitle = The air disc brake combo line was developed utilizing a global team to design an industry leading and revolutionary air disc brake assembly process. The team was comprised of technical resources from Meritor’s Cwmbran, United Kingdom, York, South Carolina and Troy, Michigan offices with a combined 80+ years of process excellence experience. The line was installed in the summer of 2018 to support increased demand for air disc brakes in the North America truck market and has the ability to produce multiple variants of air disc brake products with quick changeover, without affecting throughput or capacity. panorama_59C4826B_57FD_517F_41D0_92248485CCE8.subtitle = The e-coat paint process is a six-stage zinc process that helps protect against rust-jacking which can negatively impact brake shoe performance and shorten the life of shoes and brake linings, increasing downtime for maintenance and replacement, both of which prevent truck operators from getting maximum productivity out of their equipment. The system is also utilized for other components such as dust shields, pad straps, and stamped spiders. Another paint process is Meritor’s PlatinumShield III brake coating, which provides superior adhesion to the surface of the shoe, increasing the shoe’s ability to withstand corrosion caused by salt and other harsh elements, which increases the longevity of the product. panorama_59C5EC9E_57FE_F1D9_41B3_612293E98818.subtitle = The housing line was installed in the winter of 2019 to support increased demand for air disc brakes in North America. Using our proven housing line in the UK as the design, this new line was purpose built and tailored to meet the needs of the domestic market. We implemented standardized work processes and no fault forward technology, modernized operator instructions, and invested a large amount of automation to remain cost competitive. The housing line is a key piece of equipment to support the launch of our newest flagship air disc brake, EX+ LS, and operates 7 days a week with volumes over 750 housings per day. panorama_59C424E8_57FD_3179_41D4_098596EFD642.subtitle = We utilize the skills assessment room to train on safety behaviors, awareness, quality and product characteristics, standard work, lean practices, technical and robotic aptitude and to verify competency for the development of associates and protection of our product for integration in the company’s culture. video_7B7C6C47_51D1_A792_4192_6E55886EEA04.subtitle = Welcome to Meritor’s York, South Carolina manufacturing facility.
