...gether and, after a vertical 180° rotary movement, deposits them in a station on the turntable of the actual assembly station. The turntable then rotates horizontally into the working area of the smaller six-axis robot (type: Agilus). With a demanding rotary movement, the robot gradually threads two clips between two slats into the mandrels provided for this purpose. The small parts were previously fed individually via an oscillating conveyor. The turntable rotates to the next station, where the...

...s. In questions of preparing insert parts or special packaging tasks, they complement linear units. The users often employ six-axis robots in combination with large machines (Fig. 7). A special small six-axis robot – the Kuka Agilus, which features high flexibility, agility and range, even in confined spaces – has been integrated into a compact metering cell by Rampf Dosiertechnik GmbH & Co. KG, Zimmern, Germany, (Fig. 8). The cell is suitably used where a low degree of automation and high v...

...Germany, the concept of particle-foam composite molding (PCIM) was taken a step further to include a fully automated, integrated manufacturing setup, a core competence of the Krallmann Group. In the K-Fix production cell, a six-axis robot (type: Agilus; manufacturer: Kuka) provides a link between an injection molding machine (type: Allrounder 470 S; manufacturer: Arburg) and a compact foaming installation.Thomas Doll, head of Project Management at Ruch Novaplast, says that the foaming installati...

...in the mold checks that all the contacts are correctly and fully inserted before the mold is closed.The finished parts are set down onto a second loading plate, from where they are consecutively picked up by a small six-axis robotic system (type: Agilus; manufacturer: Kuka) and transferred to an optical inspection station. Here, the components are inspected to ensure the contacts are correctly positioned. In order to subsequently achieve the assembly and solder-free connection of the push-in con...

...lf-finished part from the injection molding machine (manufacturer: Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Plastics Machinery GmbH, Schwaig, Germany), removes the sprue and places the part into an assembly device. The second robot, which is a small robot from the KR Agilus series, takes over here. The small six-axis robot, type KR10 R900 sixx, sits in the lower area of the compact cell, thus using little space. It approaches the assembly device from below. Initially, it checks the area where the semi-finished pr...

To obtain the required high dynamics during the laying operation, a fast articulated arm robot is used (type: Agilus KR 6; manufacturer: Kuka Roboter GmbH). Demand-oriented removal of the tapes from the magazines is done independently of the actual laying operation, so that the robot’s laying speed is not reduced by slow removal movements.Layup quality depends mainly on the accur...

... are incredibly important for the implementation of complex systems," says Gläss.At Possehl in Niefern, a total of 25 Kuka robots now work precisely and reliably in three production lines – these include several small robots from the KR Agilus series, a KR 5 arc robot and several robots from the medium payload range. "The production processes carried out at the three lines are similar", explains Robert Tesch, Head of Industrial Engineering for stamping, injection and automation technology at Pos...
