background

A 3C electronics ODM manufacturer located in Jiaxing put forward a demand - try to apply collaborative robots to the existing production line to improve production efficiency. Different from the automotive industry, compared with "robot safety", users of 3C electronics companies put "beat" and "precision" in a more important position, believing that this is the key to the successful introduction of robots.

The automation rate of the customer's production line is relatively low, manpower intensive, there are many types of OEM products, and most of the product life cycles are relatively short. For this user, they are eager to reduce staff and increase efficiency through automation - so they finally chose shell laser carving, trying to replace manual labor with robots.

02 pain points

Each laser engraving machine is responsible for loading and unloading, and dozens of laser engraving equipment will fill the factory building. The work of the workers is repetitive, and the smell of the laser engraving machine in the factory is very strong; Because of iteration and different manufacturers, laser carving equipment also adopts different communication interfaces. How to deploy robots in a compact space to replace workers, and at the same time consider the feeding and discharging handling of different stations, which is almost impossible to achieve in the same space by adding fences to industrial robots; In addition, regular maintenance of laser carving and other equipment also requires sufficient space. Therefore, traditional industrial robots are obviously not suitable for this station, and lightweight collaborative robots are considered.

03 Solution

Elite 6kg collaborative robot EC66 has played the characteristics of collaborative robots in this project: 1. Ensure space and practicability; 2. The collaborative robot station is lightweight, compact and can be quickly replaced and replaced, 3. The rich interfaces, network communication, bus, digital and analog input and output ports that come with the collaborative robot ensure fast and flexible interaction between devices, improve the efficiency of automation implementation and maintenance, and enhance the stability of the system. Although the work efficiency per unit time is lower than that of manual labor, the production capacity of the production line is guaranteed after considering the comprehensive working hours.

• Elite EC66 collaborative robot is selected, which is safe and low power consumption

• Each EC66 corresponds to the loading and unloading of 2 laser engraving machines

• Double-station Tray hoist, 2-position suction mechanism

• All-in-one equipment base for easy maintenance and commissioning

In this scenario, the obvious advantages of cobots are flexible deployment, high adaptability, low installation requirements, and open interfaces. Compared with traditional robots, the introduction of collaborative robots does not need to change the existing production line layout, and only occupies 1-1.5 stations.
