    Abstract: An assembly apparatus includes backup jigs, a press-fitting and caulking part, and an expansion part. The backup jigs is configured to back up arms of a yoke of the cross shaft universal joint from inside in an axial direction. The press-fitting and caulking part is configured to press-fit cup bearings from outside in the axial direction between bearing holes of the arms and a shaft portion of a cross shaft, and configured to caulk the cup bearings. The expansion part is configured to push a wedge body between the backup jigs and to expand the arms outward via the backup jigs. The press-fitting and caulking part is configured to press-fit the cup bearings and to caulk the cup bearings in a state in which the arms are expanded. The expansion part is configured to release an expansion of the arms after the press-fitting and caulking of the cup bearings.

  • Publication number: 20230083964
    Abstract: Provided are a surface pressure analysis device, a surface pressure analysis method, and a surface pressure analysis program capable of automatically evaluating the surface pressure applied to an inspection surface of a measurement object and supporting an inspector who performs a pass/fail determination of the measurement object. An image acquisition unit (210A) of a server that functions as the surface pressure analysis device acquires an inspection image (10) from a user terminal. The inspection image (10) is a capture image of a pressure measurement sheet that is disposed on the inspection surface of the measurement object and color-developed with a density distribution according to the intensity of the pressure applied to the inspection surface. A conversion unit (222) converts the density value of the inspection image (10) into a two-dimensionally distributed first pressure value.
