Fully automatic and electrical assembly for Tinkerbots
Challenge
- Assembly and disassembly of three different Tinkerbot© models
- Handling of bricks with Motoman HC10 robot and presentation of Mikron Cube
Solution
- Four automatic handling systems (Two for assembly, two for disassembly)
- Beckhoff XTS linear system for fast transportation and independent forward and backward carrier movements
- Motoman HC10 collaborative robot for human interaction during machine processing
- Integration of IO Link
Results
- Fully automatic assembly and disassembly
- No pneumatics, only electrical components
- Collaborative assembly with two laser scanners that detect objects and humans in front of the cell and adapt speed of robot
- Optical lights, which show current robot status
- Integrated camera for digital service
- Energy- and consumption-tracking in HMI
