摘要:
A production line includes at least one electronically controlled assembling station in which a chain conveyor device moves a plurality of part transporting pallets to be assembled in continuous movement along the production line. In one example, each assembling station includes an implement dedicated to the assembly station and freely movable in the assembly station along the transport direction of the pallets for use by an operator to execute manual assembling operations on the parts transported by each pallet. In one example, the production line assembling station further includes a plurality of automated drawers containing components for use in the manual assembly operations and a human machine interface accessible by the operator. In one example, the chain conveyor chain includes front and rear hook units to engage the pallet for movement along the production line. The rear hook unit moves from a pallet engaged position to an optical beam interception position when the pallet is confronted with an obstacle preventing movement of the pallet along with the chain. When the rear hook unit is positioned in the optical beam interception position, an electronic control system generates a command signal which stops the conveyor device.

High precision work is performed on a work target (workpiece) during conveyance, irrespective of the oscillations accompanying conveyance. A work method includes steps of: predicting a predicted oscillation pattern occurring in a workpiece (W) afterwards from the measurement results of oscillation occurring in the workpiece (W) during conveyance by way of a workpiece conveyance device (2); controlling a robot (131) so as to operate at an oscillation according to the predicted oscillation pattern thus predicted; detecting oscillation occurring in the robot (131) during the step of controlling; and comparing the oscillation occurring in the robot (131) with the predicted oscillation pattern, and in the case of differing, adjusting so that the oscillation of the robot (131) matches the predicted oscillation pattern, in which each of these steps is completed before the robot (131) performs work on the workpiece (W).

An assembly unit with an industrial robot for handling a vehicle body is provided. The industrial robot can be moved by coupling to the vehicle body in the conveying direction, in which a conveyor belt conveys the vehicle body. The industrial robot retains in any conveying situation its exact position relative to the workpiece in all directions. A transport platform serves to transport the industrial robot. The transport platform can be moved independently of the conveyor belt and without use of rails if the industrial robot is decoupled from the vehicle body. A component storage unit can be coupled to the transport platform. The component storage unit then can also be moved by the transport platform. The industrial robot can be designed for a small load to achieve a cost-effective assembly unit.

A manufacturing apparatus (2) for components (3), which has at least one movable loading station (20) designed as a tool magazine (13) and having reception points (39) with different tools (4, 5, 6, 7) for different component types A-I. The loading station (20) is connected to one or more machining stations (20, 22′) at which at least one machining device (23) and at least one handling device (24) for handling and releasing the components (3) from the tool (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) are arranged. The selected Figure is FIG. 5.
摘要:
A line sychronizing apparatus includes a conveyer 1 for conveyance of a work, a first transport rail 2 mounted above and in parallel with the conveyer, a main assembly 10 slidably supported on the first transport rail by a plurality of rollers, a second transport rail 14 mounted in parallel with the conveyer, and an operating assembly P slidably supported by the second transport rail by a plurality of rollers. The apparatus prevents the heavy weight of the main body of the apparatus from being applied to the work. The apparatus performs each assembling operation in a synchronized condition while the work is being transported.
摘要:
A permanently installed manufacturing system, to join together loose part sub-assemblies with quick change workstations and exchange tool transporters. The flexible manufacturing process involves the automatic, or manual, joining of loose components, regardless of the assembly technology used, the model mix required, or the type of product to be assembled. The system allows the utilization of interchangeable flex-tools, supported on various types of power and free transporters, that can be programmably controlled and automatically changes over. The system will accommodate batch runs, random runs, prototype runs, as well as synchronous and asynchronous operations.

An automated assembly apparatus includes an assembly robot, which has a plurality of hands of different heights and an XY-axis moving unit movable in a horizontal direction, and a plurality of operation base units which have operation bases and Z-axis moving unit capable of moving the operation bases in a vertical direction. The automated assembly apparatus further includes a control unit which raises in advance, before the assembly robot reaches above the operation bases, the operation bases by the Z-axis moving unit to positions where the operation bases do not interfere with the plurality of hands.
摘要:
A production line comprises at least one assembly station which is electronically controlled, in which a chain-conveyor device feeds with continuous motion a plurality of pallets carrying parts to be assembled. The production line further comprises at least one module for carrying containers provided with a plurality of part-holder containers for supplying parts to said at least one assembly station. The module comprises a plurality of drawers associated to a paternoster conveyor system.
