Abstract:
A method for operating a production plant having a plurality of work stations to carry out at least one respective work step by a control system allocated to the production plant involves a control system assigning human workers or robots to work stations according to at least one criterion relating to a production requirement, wherein each worker or robot can be assigned to one or several work stations.
Abstract:
The method is used for automated tightening of a screwed joint (16), which is fitted to a component (10) in advance and contains a screw (12) and a nut (14), using a programmable industrial robot system (18). In this case, the invention provides that the industrial robot system (18) has a first robot (20) with a screw driving head (22) and a second robot (24) with a mating holding head (26). In order to tighten the screwed joint (16) on the component (10), the screw driving head (22) is positioned in a defined screw driving position, and the mating holding head (26) is positioned in a defined mating holding position in order to produce an interlocking connection, which is suitable for tightening of the screwed joint (16), between the mating holding head (26) and the nut (14), as well as between the screw driving head (22) and the screw (12). The screwed joint (16) on the component (10) is tightened with a predeterminable fixing torque. The interlocking connections are then disconnected.
Abstract:
A method to operate a production plant having a plurality of work regions in which respective work stations are arranged to carry out at least on respective work step, and having at least one transport system that transports goods to be processed on at least one predetermined path between the work stations, involves selecting the arrangement of the work stations, the work step that is able to be carried out by the respective work station, and the at least one predetermined path according to at least one predetermined criterion that is related to a production requirement, and adapting these due to a change of the at least one criterion.
Abstract:
A method for operating a production plant having an unmanned transport system involves transporting a first parts carrier having a plurality of parts from a warehouse to a picking station by at least one industrial truck. At least one part, which is predetermined according to a parts list, is extracted from the parts carrier using a worker and deposition of the part on a further parts carrier. The further parts carrier is transported to a work station by a further industrial truck.
