Background:
The automotive industry is the most typical industry with high requirements for robot flexibility, especially auto parts. For example, car lamp manufacturers are increasingly feeling the pressure of small-batch and multi-variety production. Located in North China, the auto parts manufacturer has a history of more than 20 years, and its lamp products are mainly adapted to various models of the group, including SUVs, pickup trucks, small passenger cars, medium and large vehicles. In addition, in addition to the domestic mainstream models, it also undertakes a large number of export orders, so customers have very high requirements for the timeliness of delivery and quality stability - on the one hand, they hope to maintain product consistency and full inspection of products through the introduction of automation solutions, and on the other hand, they hope that the equipment can be flexible and shorten the changeover time caused by frequent product changes.
Pain point:
The lamp manufacturer has an annual production capacity of 5 million lamps, based on different models, the lamp categories are very complex, the specifications are diverse, and the products have 17 series of more than 300 varieties. Before the introduction of collaborative robots, most of the light inspection work was done manually, and with the increase of production capacity and labor costs, it has been looking for suitable non-standard automation solutions to achieve machine substitution.
As a special-shaped irregular part, the lamp requires the robot to travel according to a more complex trajectory in the detection process, and complete the photo detection of multiple positions with a vision camera. When the batch of the product is replaced, the robot needs to execute the instructions according to the new program to complete the inspection task of different workpieces. Therefore, tools that are simple to program and flexible and easy to use are what is needed for this type of workstation.
Solution:
These constraints didn't stump the cobot. On the contrary, the advantages of this type of robot are fully exploited. The Elite EC66 (6kg) cobot is installed on a desktop basis, and the integrated camera takes pictures and detects the lights according to the established trajectory. The cobot is very easy to program, and can support drag-and-drop teaching, or interactive programming of the teach pendant/PC, so it has a natural advantage for applications with many points and complex movements. In addition, Elite's 6-joint cobot can achieve 360° rotation ± single joint, taking the 6kg cobot as an example, the robot can work in a spherical space with a radius of 914mm, and all detection surfaces of the workpiece are flexible and accessible, so engineers do not need to worry about how to avoid the dead angle of the robot when programming.
In addition, cobots can also be competent for flexible production - for the small batch and multi-variety production mode that customers are concerned about, cobots can preset programs, and when the product batch is replaced, the new program can be quickly called and the robot can be debugged to quickly put into new tasks, helping users greatly shorten the changeover time. What's more worth mentioning is that the cost-effective cobot lowers the automation threshold for users, and the return on investment period is only 12 months.
