At 0:00 Beijing time on November 21, 2022, the 2022 Qatar World Cup will officially kick off. As a large-scale sports event every four years in the world, the World Cup always attracts the attention of many people, whether it is an unexpected game result, or the supreme moment of a bright star, or a brainwashing song of "doo da", thousands of people stay up late to chase the World Cup, and TA is carrying the weight for everyone......
background
Today, we are going to talk about the customer case of Elite in the automotive industry in North China, which is a manufacturer engaged in the production of automotive plastic molds and automotive plastic interior and exterior decorations. The company has been deeply engaged in the field of auto parts for many years, and its products are exported to many regions at home and abroad, and have provided supporting solutions for international well-known brand automobile manufacturers such as Shanghai General Motors, Toyota, Xiali, Chevrolet, FAW-Volkswagen, etc.
There is an urgent need for enterprise automation upgrades
In recent years, with the disappearance of the demographic dividend, the continuous rise in labor costs, and the impact of epidemic prevention and control policies, the company has faced difficulties in recruiting workers and labor shortages.
pain point
The intake manifold valve for the engine was produced by the customer, and two small bearings were required to be mounted at each end of the valve plate prior to delivery. Due to the interference fit between the valve plate and the bearing, the installation work cannot be completed by the staff alone, and the workers at this station need to use a hammer to tap to install the bearing in place. On the one hand, for customers, the work efficiency of the station is low, and the workers often deviate the bearing due to operational errors, so that the entire valve plate is scrapped, and the qualification rate of its products is worrying. On the other hand, for workers, this kind of work is boring and boring, and frequent tapping and moving for a long time will also cause physical fatigue, and the slightest carelessness will also cause hand injury. Therefore, the customer is very urgent for the automation upgrade of this station.
At first, the customer considered using traditional industrial robots to automate workstations, but due to the limited layout of the factory, they turned to collaborative robots. The almost spherical working range of collaborative robots, the lack of safety fences for collaboration with people, and the small size that do not occupy excess space precisely solve the pain points faced by customers in their current automation transformation.
solution
explore
Considering that the customer had a pleasant cooperation experience with Elite, the automation upgrade project of this valve installation was quickly decided to be carried out by Elite Robot. According to the understanding of customer needs and on-site inspection, it was concluded that this project requires the robot to complete 4 actions accurately without visual guidance, namely: taking the valve plate, installing the bearing at one end of the valve plate, then installing the bearing at the other end of the valve plate, and finally putting the finished product into the finished product warehouse. The interference fit between the valve plate and the bearing means that every step of the robot needs to be precise.
be born
Elite finally recommended the customer to use the EC66 collaborative robot, with a payload of 6kg and a repeatability of ± 0.03mm. Using the advantages of flexible operation, strong control, high precision, safety and reliability, the robot replaces manual work to complete a complete set of complex tasks, during which only two vibration plates and a simple tightening mechanism are required to build the entire application platform and realize the customer's automation upgrade needs for the station.
approval
Elite robot supports drag-and-drop teaching, teach pendant and PC interactive programming, which makes the robot deployment very simple, and the whole set of equipment can be fully put into production in just one working day. After the customer's on-site verification, the whole process only takes 15 seconds to complete a finished product, and its work efficiency and product qualification rate have been significantly improved, which has been fully recognized by customers.
Until now,
Elite robot has been maturely applied to,
In the production of the production line in the workshop,
At the same time, the customer also said,
In the future, we will continue to cooperate with Elite,
Import cobots to,
In the workshop more similar work,
Integrate the progressive automation mode!
