Precision Cockpit & Instrument Panel Loading Inside the Vehicle Body

Installing a complete dashboard / instrument panel (IP) sub-assembly—complete with cross-car beam, wiring harness, HVAC unit, and centre console—is one of the most ergonomically demanding stations on an automotive Trim & Final line. Operators must pick up a bulky 35–85 kg cockpit module from the sub-assembly dolly, rotate it through the narrow A-pillar / front door opening without scratching painted bodywork, and hold it in exact alignment while cross-car bolts are torqued.

Ovity Sdn. Bhd. designs and fabricates bespoke pneumatic Dashboard Installation Manipulators right in Puchong, Selangor. Our system is installed and operating at Chery's Shah Alam assembly plant, giving operators true zero-gravity float control, pneumatic yaw/pitch alignment, and redundant anti-drop interlocks so the instrument panel can never release until it is safely seated on the vehicle body locators.

  • Proven at Chery Shah Alam Assembly Plant: Engineered and commissioned for live Malaysian CKD passenger and SUV cabin assembly lines.
  • Cantilevered Offset C-Arm Geometry: Reaches deep inside the cabin through the front door opening while clearing the roof rail, A-pillar, and steering column.
  • Zero-Gravity Pneumatic Auto-Balance: Automatically compensates between loaded (carrying IP) and unloaded states so one operator guides the dashboard with fingertips.
  • Part-Present & Anti-Drop Safety Circuit: Two-hand release and pneumatic check valves prevent accidental unclamping before cross-car beam bolting is complete.
  • Multi-Model Quick Changeover: Adjustable locator pins and soft urethane clamping jaws accommodate multiple vehicle variants on mixed-model CKD lines.

Why Pure Pneumatic & Modular Engineering Beats Complex Servo Systems in Malaysia

Ovity's 100% pneumatic balancers, air hoists, KH Track rails, and mechanical reaction arms operate reliably in Malaysia's high shop-floor heat and humidity, require zero expensive imported servo drives or PCB boards, and are supported directly by our Puchong engineering and fabrication team.
