Case Study: Automating Lifter Plunger Removal

In today’s fast-paced manufacturing world, automation plays a crucial role in improving efficiency and reducing manual labor. Jasper Engines & Transmissions, a leader in remanufacturing powertrain components, faced a challenge in optimizing the removal of lifter plungers from a family of internal combustion engines.

To solve this, they partnered with Scott Industrial Systems to engineer a custom automated operational cell. This innovative system integrates a Scott Pak Power Unit, Continental Valves, and Miller Cylinders into a specialized tooling solution.

The Impact

Increased Efficiency – Automated removal speeds up production
Reduced Manual Labor – Operators can now complete tasks effortlessly
Enhanced Productivity – Streamlined process results in faster output

By leveraging fluid power expertise, Scott Industrial Systems helped Jasper Engines & Transmissions optimize operations and drive efficiency. This case study demonstrates how the right hydraulic and pneumatic solutions can transform manufacturing processes.
