SYNCHRONISM: PRIMER, ROOF RACKS SCREWING AND WEATHERSTRIPS INSTALLATION.

Sector
Automotive
Cliente
Volkswagen

Installation developed to automate the door sealing application on the front and rear window, roof racks screwing, and installation of weather stripping on front and rear doors.
All operations are carried out automatically on the moving production line, automatically adapting to the car model in line production.

Solución

Synchronization of the position of the robot with the movement of the body.

The system is composed of 3 tracks. The central track is coupled to the structure of the vehicle and is synchronized with the movement of the transport chain, transmitting the position and speed to the lateral tracks that support the 6-axis robots, with in some cases, auxiliary axes.

FOLLOWER CAR, SYNCHRONISM
Central track with coupling carriage to the vehicle structure.

AUTOMATIC APPLIED PRIMER
Primer liquid applied system:
- Precise control of amount applied
- Sensory data collection.
- Automatic nozzle change system
- Automatic nozzle check system
- Automatic nozzle purge system.
- Control and adjustment software.
- Integrated video camera.

ROOF RACK BOLTING
Double bolted robotic system.

 

Ventajas
Improvement in Ergonomics and health, the raising and lowering of the hood is done by the robot itself, as well as the screwing inside, and the primer applied throughout the moon. As the first is a flammable and toxic liquid, we avoid its direct contact w
Improvement in Quality: the torque, the amount of liquid applied and the correct placement of the weather stripping are ensured. Costly re-work caused by failures in the sealing tests is thus eliminated.
Reduction of non-conformities: the recording of parameters in real time allows notifying and correcting possible incidents in the process. Exact amounts of door sealing applied.
Productivity improvement. Four operations have been integrated in the same station, fulfilling cycle times of 52'' and adapting to any of the models existing at that time.
