Compressed Air and Finishing Equipment for the Transportation Equipment Industry

About the Transportation Industry

The global transportation equipment manufacturing industry generates about $4 trillion annually, with $950 billion coming from the United States. The landscape of the transportation equipment manufacturing sector is competitive. Companies need high-quality products, technical expertise and manufacturing efficiency to stay profitable and productive. One way to achieve these goals is to use compressed air equipment designed for the industry's unique applications and requirements.

Compressed air is used for everything from assembly and painting, to maintenance and air filtration so that workers can breathe easier when they're on the assembly line. Compressed air powers the necessary tools and equipment to cut, refine, move, paint and fasten parts with ease. Without it, transportation equipment manufacturing companies would not be able to function, deeming compressed air an essential asset to their business and the industry as a whole.

The final look and aesthetics of cars, trucks, airplanes, boats, trains and other transportation equipment is important as well. This is why high-quality paint spray and powder coatings systems are needed when manufacturing this equipment and components.

How Is Compressed Air Used for Manufacturing Equipment for Transportation?

A countless number of parts go into the assembly of transportation vehicles and equipment. Throughout each stage of the assembly process, air compressors are used to deliver power to the most essential tools and operations on the production line.

Compressed air is essential for transportation equipment companies and can be used for:

• Engine construction: Compressed air powers the tools and devices manufacturers use to construct automobile, marine and aviation engines.
• Maintenance: Compressed air powers pneumatic tools and equipment used to maintain or test machinery.
• Vehicle assembly: Compressed air powers pneumatic tools like drills, hammers, sanders and wrenches to assemble the chassis and other components.
• Cleaning: Pneumatic tools use compressed air to clean and collect dust from vehicle components and around the facility.
• Conveyor systems and robotic machinery: Different types of systems use compressed air to lift, transport and position many of the components into place.
