NAME Robotic system for flexible assembly of components

The cell allows to propose operations to automate the assembly of parts. The robotic system can be configured to perform component assembly operations in both conventional and collaborative modes. The robotic system is composed by a bi-manipulator robot of 13 degrees of freedom, equipped with vision systems, a force sensor, a tool exchanger with different tools and an area monitoring system for work in collaborative mode. The system has two main components: 1) the assembly where the sensors (force, vision) are configured for use in detecting the position of the pieces on the surface and control the trajectory of the arms in insertion operations during the montage; 2) safety area monitoring for the detection of elements that enter the working area of the robot reducing or speeding up or stopping its operation. This cell offers the possibility of evaluating the feasibility and propose the automation of operations related to assembly of components, insertion, coupling, screwing,. The cell allows the analysis of requirements linked to cycle times, variability in positioning, security in collaborative mode, etc.
