TQC have recently performed a
number of sophisticated Robot 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 assembly jig section of the machine, which
then automatically closes, clipping the two parts of the handset together.
The robot picks four screws from the component feeder and
drives them into place in the handset, one at a time. This cell produces a complete
handset every 12 seconds. This cell was then repeated four times. |

| 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 left, 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. |
