Automotive industry
Our clients are mainly automobile suppliers, but also automobile manufacturers themselves, who count on our turnkey concepts and also use stand-alone machines in production logistics.
Both in terms of stand-alone solutions and in integrated, complex manufacturing structures, we have experience in the following areas of the automotive industry:
Aligning, sorting, separating
Gripping individual parts from a disordered lot and handover to the next processing step with defined orientation:
In this process, the individual parts to be handled are transported from bulk material via several conveying levels to an almost exposed position on a belt conveyor; they are recorded by camera and evaluated by the gripping robot with respect to position and component type.
When the position and type evaluation is finished, then access is possible during the ongoing conveying movement and the subsequent, defined handover to a multi-gripping system which passes on to the further production process.
In case of the present application, we realized cycle times of 2.5 seconds.
Separated assembly elements are withdrawn from provisioning by specially developed compress tools and positioned and compressed at the assembly support in the production cycle.
Assembly, joining and shaping processes
Partially automated manual workplaces for assembly of safety-relevant chassis components as well as stations for checking assembled structure components:
In answer to individual problems, we implement assembly and test systems from ergonomic construction planning via integration of process-relevant components to visualization and documentation of workflows and result data.
Fully automatic assembly systems with part loading by robots and handling of the individual assemblies by assembly robots with standard and special tools:
For positioning, the plastic assembly supports are braced to the rotary dial table dimensionally stable and reproducible. Rotating exchangeable part fixtures enable programmable change of product interacting with the robot-automated assembly units.
Robot automation and gripping systems
Extracting gripper for plastic molding parts:
These grippers have been conceived for extracting large plastic injection molding parts from the injection molding machines. Dimensionally stable contact surfaces and fastening devices guarantee safe extraction and stabilization of shape until the robot handling hands over the work piece to subsequent transport logistics.
Robot automation in work piece processing enables safe and economical operation, especially in the case of frequent change of product. In this context, we offer you planning, setup and programming of a complete automated robotic cell including customized assembly or process tools.
Conveying, lifting, turning, gripping, buffering
Transport logistics for transport containers, transport racks, part fixtures in shipping logistics as direct interface to ongoing assembly line production. Only high availability and reliable construction enable us to meet the demanding requirements at this bottleneck of the automobile supply industry.
Lifting, shifting and turning of the axle transport racks in order to manage a 180° turn in an existing conveying line under restricted space conditions:
The roller conveyor in question is pulled out of the conveyor track over an inclined plane and lifted above the roller conveyors adjacent at front and rear so that the required turn is possible and the conveyor line can be closed again by shifting back. At this bottleneck of production logistics highest possible reliability and functional safety are important around the clock.
Controllers, process monitoring and documentation, quality assurance
Based on project-specific functional structures, electrical systems are planned, set up and programmed. Process visualization and monitoring support the worker in meeting the required quality standards in accordance with workstation requirements.
Interfaces to production control systems with handover of the process parameters from the assembly process e.g. for the documentation of safety-relevant screw connections and assembly steps.
Process monitoring of setting paths for blind rivet nut processing and compressing of spacer tubes with identification and discharge of faulty components.
Quality assurance by means of camera systems as pre-check before applying subsequent, refining steps of further processing and also as final quality and completeness check. We use camera systems that are compatible with robot technology and that monitor and secure the configured tolerance limits.
