cell & robot cell solutions
TQC have recently performed a number of sophisticated
robot cell systems for several demanding applications. The projects have ranged from the
use of proprietary robot units to the development of a large, complex gantry robot system.
TQC have provided multi robot production lines and single
robot workstations in different applications, ranging from automotive parts manufacture
and modification, transfer of green state ceramic components to high precision automation
at high speeds.
This single robot cell was designed to automate the
assembly of a small electrical handset. An operator loads the bottom casing
(containing the PCB) and top casing into the jig section within the assembly cell, which
then automatically closes, clipping the two parts of the handset together.
In this assembly cell the robot picks four screws from the
bowl feeder and drives them into place in the handset, one at a time. This machine
cell produces a complete handset every 12 seconds. The complete robotic production
system incorporated four robot cells.
The facility shown here has a working envelope of 6 meters
x 4 meters x 2.5 meters. The end effector (gripper) was specially designed to transfer
delicate "green state" ceramic components together with 3 other parts and
assemble. The gripper transfers 12 items at a time stacking them accurately onto a surface
of varying heights & attitude.
This system
incorporated a reconfigured robot unit. The drawing to the right, shows the new
configuration of the main elements. Associated with this unit is a pallet magazine,
multiple transport conveyors and an elevation unit bringing product from a level 4 metres
above.
TQC was responsible for the successful integration of the
complete system including the designing of vacuum formed trays and other product storage.
Both of the above systems were integrated into factory
wide SCADA systems on an Allen Bradley platform.
TQC welcomes the opportunity to design and manufacture
complete automation systems to customer specifications.
