Overview

Automated docking systems are composed of high strength and precision pins and bushings, hydraulic actuators, and fixturing carts or pallets. By integrating all pieces, a system is created that allows for high accuracy and precision centerline alignment for units under test. Using sensors and solenoids the docking procedure can be completely automated removing human error of alignment and coupling and greatly increasing efficiency.
