/Abnormity headlight grab scheme /

An automobile production and manufacturing enterprise

Customer proposal

Special-shaped headlights of different shapes, product iteration fast. In order to meet the production needs of different sizes of headlights, the customer upgraded the existing production line and used the combination mode of "cylinder + sucker" to grab the headlight shell.

Scheme drawback

The combination design of "cylinder + sucker" is complicated, covers a large area and costs high, which is not suitable for the narrow production space;

This scheme does not fully meet the customer's demand for lightweight end fixture, and due to the complex process of the combined design scheme and more lines, it is not conducive to the rapid troubleshooting after failure, which takes a long time.

From the car lights to the market most special-shaped, fragile grasp of the workpiece, how to accurately select a set of flexible grasp solutions, to meet the production needs of different forms of workpiece?

/ New i-EOAT flexible grasping solution /

Professional special-shaped and vulnerable workpiece handling fixture

Program overview

In the study and application of i-EOAT flexible end-effector, SRT has been committed to the industrial grade "dexterous hand" to the extreme. Automobile manufacturing has a fast pace of production, automotive headlight production as an important part of the automobile industry, the requirements of the process is particularly rigorous.

In response to the needs of both technology-intensive and labor-intensive industries such as automobiles, SRT has developed a disruptive, flexible soft fixture called the NBM Smart Airbag module.

It is specifically for the car lights and other special shape, and difficult to grasp the special-shaped workpiece, in order to meet the enterprise production process of high precision, low wear, lightweight requirements, put forward a new flexible grasp scheme. NBM can effectively avoid the workpiece grasping surface damage, its simple structure, the space operation requirements are not high, and can reduce the assembly, debugging personnel labor intensity.

Innovation advantage

There will be different problems and defects in the production process of automobile headlights, 99% of which can be avoided during manufacturing. The flexible grasping solution based on NBM can make use of modular design, with the help of flexible control force, arrange multi-angle grasping points, overcome the influence of small space and other adverse factors, complete the automobile headlights and other shaped workpiece handling, improve the quality and level of special-shaped workpiece production.

flexibility

Small occupation space, not limited to the original production line layout, the size of deployment space does not have too much requirements;

lightweight

Minimalist design, reduce the complexity of the process, compared with the traditional fixture, lighter weight, more flexible.

Product characteristics

There are many types of special-shaped workpiece, different specifications and sizes, and the end fixture needs to meet the characteristics of large travel range, precise force control and large load range. NBM can meet the above requirements:

NBM through expansion and contraction, change the shape of the colloid, to achieve the purpose of closely combined with the special-shaped workpiece, to achieve stable, solid grasp and transport;

Large clamping force and load, flexible grasping at the same time of high speed operation, suitable for complex and fast movement of cooperative robots;

Small size, light weight, can integrate multiple NBM side by side use, improve efficiency;

High degree of standardization, compatible with different size specifications, weight of special-shaped workpiece, to solve the thermal cup, car lampshade, instrument panel, air conditioning panel, electrical control panel, keyboard and mouse shell, injection molding industry special-shaped workpiece load shifting problem.

The development and application of NBM

In production, using the right, flexible i-EOAT tools and flexible solutions can help reduce deployment costs for automated upgrades and significantly improve collaboration throughout the automation process. In the future, SRT will continue to iterate more flexible gripper series products, continue to broaden the flexible gripper application boundary, to meet the production needs of more industrial automation industry.
