The intermediate shaft of sliding type is assembled with coated shaft joint and tube joint. Since the intermediate shaft plays a role of absorbing displacement change due to vibration, the intermediate shaft must have a sliding force value in an appropriate range. In this study, an intermediate shaft assembly system for post-processing of defective intermediate shafts was developed. The intermediate shaft assembly system consists of a wear count prediction model and an automatic wear system. A wear count prediction model was created with the initial assembly sliding force, quality, and set values. As a result of applying the intermediate shaft assembly device, the sliding force of the intermediate shaft was induced within the set value range. And it was prevented from the intermediate shaft defect and eliminated manual work.
