Custom Mechanical Assembly Cell in Line Machine

This custom mechanical assembly cell in Lin machine is a robotic assembly cell integrated in a production line. The distinctive characteristic of this project is that it is homogeneous  with the entire line specially designed for this application.

This cell is designed in FIFO (First-in – First-out), a 6-axis poly-articulated robot, takes the products on an upstream conveyor, the different mechanical assembly operations are performed off-line, then the parts are put back on a downstream conveyor. The cell is equipped with a glass cover of a specific thickness and impact strength.

In production, the robot has visual detection to relocate angularly its hand accurately. A steel shaft operation is carried out using an electric press controlling the stroke and the effort.

Different POKA-YOKE (anti-error systems) that are present on the equipment were defined during the FMECA study phase.

Technical characteristics of the assembly cell:

• STÄUBLI Robot
• COGNEX Vision
• TOX Pressotechnik axis
