Machining castings with many path points
Machining of castings with many path points In a system for deburring castings, point misalignments occur time and again, resulting in extensive re-teaching. Home Anwendungen Wiest advantages Customer benefits The plant was back in production immediately after the move. By investing in Wiest LaserLAB, the customer has avoided at least one week of production downtime. […]
Cloning of milling cells
Cloning of production lines To avoid having to repeat the complex measurement for a second cell for deburring turbine blades, the robot cell is to be cloned. Home Anwendungen Wiest advantages Customer benefits The programmes of the master cell were easily transferred to the cloned cell. At the same time, both installations could be secured […]
Safeguarding of complex machining cells
Safeguarding of complex machining cells Two absolute-precision robots, which handle endoscopes at a total of eight stations, are to be safe-guarded. Home Anwendungen Wiest advantages Customer benefits By measuring with loop:in, tool:in and base:in, the system is fully secured. It can also be relocated without the need for re-teaching. Integration on the second line without […]
Spot welding in body-in-white
A large car manufacturer operates several welding lines for car bodies. Kuka KR125 robots and Comau H4 with spot-welding guns are used.
The special feature of the production line is that a large number of different models are produced on the same lines, and new models need to be introduced with as little interruption to the running line as possible.
To make matters worse, re-teaching had to be done for all models. However, these were not available at the time of the work. The model may not have appeared until the next shift. If you forgot to stop the line and adjust the robot programmes, the crash happened again.
In addition, the task was to ensure that the Comau robots could be exchanged for new ones. There is no repeatable and reproducible mastering procedure for this type of robot.
Precise thrust direction for milling applications
Precise thrust direction for milling applications A milling robot is used to produce parts using the rapid prototyping method. Home Anwendungen Wiest advantages Customer benefits Using a LaserLAB and tool:in, the thrust direction of the milling tool was determined with high precision within a few minutes. Manual alignment of quaternions is a thing of the […]
