Automated O-Ring Inserter

Project Challenge

Place an o-ring into a retaining groove on the inner diameter of a round part.

Rothgreaves solution

RothGreaves designed and manufactured an automated solution to deliver an o-ring to the inside diameter of a round part. The machine automatically loads the delivery tool with an o-ring and cycles it into position. Once in position, the o-ring is driven through a compression die until seated in the retaining groove of the part.
