Use Case
Cable Handling and Assembly
Automotive, Manufacturing, Electronics, Consumer Goods
Automated handling, manipulation, and assembly of flexible workpieces such as cables, wires, connectors or fabrics/coverings pose a number of challenges in production. Conventional robotic processes often lack the dexterity to handle these sensitive materials. Localizing the position and identifying the the shape of parts are a major challenge in classic robot programming. The liability and form instability of the material leads to constantly changing dynamics of the part tolerances, shape, and localization throughout the entire handling or assembly process. However, robot-based, precise cable assembly can be programmed and implemented robustly and efficiently, and therefore economically, using ArtiMinds RPS. The complexity of programming automation processes with tolerances becomes manageable with ArtiMinds.
Use Case
Surface Processing and Finishing
automotive, aerospace, polishing, grinding, metal
The software ArtiMinds RPS, combines offline and online programming in a unique way to solve applications requiring precise tool paths. Easily create tool paths based on the CAD geometry of your parts or import a tool path directly from your CAD file. Quickly check for collisions and reachability to figure out the best layout of your robot cell. Connect to the real robot to calibrate the robot program, teach key poses and optimize parameters. The challenges of robot-based surface processing, such as deburring, polishing or grinding, lie in the compensation of tolerances, the programming of sensor-adaptive processes and the handling of complex geometries. Furthermore the integration of force-torque sensors, camera systems or special tools and the interaction with the robot requires special programming skills. The innovative functionalities of the ArtiMinds RPS enable the most diverse forms of surface processing. For example, thanks to the easy import of CAD files, robot motion paths can be simulated and created automatically.
