For the project we used 2 KUKA KR- series robot arms and built 5 manipulator units. The dosing of the parts is ensured by 4 individual vibrating dosing system. One of the robotic arms inserted a spring-assembled part into the product, while the other also placed spacers while unloading the finished products. The product inspection stations, on which we used camera and special tool inspectors, played a key role in the assembly system.
Main units of the project:
- robot arms - 1 x KUKA KR3, 1 x KUKA KR10
- manipulators - 2 x 1 axial, 1 x 3 axial és 2 x 4 axial manipulators
- sensors - 1 x camera examiner, 1 x stecker examiner
- dosing - 4 x vibrating doser systems
The machine works with a cycle time of 5 seconds and can substitute the manual work of 5 workers who could have been moved to more valuable work positions.
An additional benefit of the project was that we automated the insertion of a tiny spring which ensures the operation of the child lock. Due to the size of this part and the special way in which it was inserted, this task required a series of fine mechanical operations that meant very meticulous, strenuous, yet monotonous work when carried out with human workforce, with a high risk of faults.
