Innovative automation: linked robots produce input shafts
Challenge
- Innovative automation solution for production of input shafts
Solution
- Use of a system implemented by SYMACON:
- Two linked robotic cells, each with a six-axis Motoman MH5L robot
- Cells linked by a recirculating workpiece carrier system
- First cell: positioning of the workpiece in the measurement fixture and separate setdown of faulty parts by the robot; double gripper enables implementation of a fast cycle change
- Second cell: packaging of the parts in special trays by the robot
Result
- MH5L robots enable versatile and flexible applications
- Compact design for minimal installation space requirements
- Integrated fluid and air supply for maximum system reliability, reduction of sources of interference and simplified programming
- Acceleration of cycle times by dispensing with additional swivel units due to the special robot kinematic system of the MH5L
