Preface
The automotive seat manufacturing industry is a labor-intensive industry with high technology demand. In recent years, in the face of rising labor costs and market competition pressure, intelligent transformation has become an inevitable trend in this industry. However, enterprises usually face pain points such as limited production line workstations, high cost of automation transformation, and long return on investment cycle, and collaborative robots with the characteristics of safety and ease of use, easy deployment, and low cost of use have risen to the trend and become a key force in the process of intelligent upgrading of enterprises.
Application examples
Flexible detection
In the manufacturing process of automotive seats, in order to ensure the quality of seat parts, robots are required to take pictures of multiple positions and angles of the workpiece on behalf of humans. Due to the limited space of the production line, it is difficult to automate the transformation, and at the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the workers who are labeling, and the requirements for human-machine collaboration are also very high.
By introducing ROKASHI ER3 flexible collaborative robot flip deployment into the existing automotive seat production line, and equipped with a code scanning device, the flexible online detection of seat parts is realized. Compared with manual operation, ROKASHI robot greatly improves the detection efficiency and avoids false detection and missed detection. At the same time, sensitive collision detection based on joint force sensors ensures safety, allowing robots to work directly side by side with humans without the need for safety fences.
Seat side panel loading and unloading
In the production of seat side panels, the loading and unloading process before and after the entire process was previously carried out manually. Repetitive work with long hours and high loads can easily lead to low labor efficiency, and it is difficult to meet the needs of high-volume and high-quality production.
ROKAZ CR12 is equipped with a high-performance control system xCore, with a repeatability of ±0.03mm, which is perfectly adapted to the vision system, and can realize high-beat, high-precision side plate disorderly grasping and automatic loading and unloading operations. It not only frees workers from the repetitive work environment, but also helps customers greatly reduce labor costs and effectively improve production efficiency.
Seat electrical inspection
After the production and assembly of the car seat is completed, a series of electrical function tests need to be carried out, and only after the corresponding testing and qualification, the seat can be put on the market to ensure the safety of the car use.
ROKASHI CR12 flexible collaborative robot is equipped with 3D vision, which realizes multi-angle, all-round and high-precision seat electrical inspection. Help customers improve the detection efficiency by 30%, significantly reduce the rate of missed detection and false detection, and improve the shipping quality of products.
Seat mold dry ice cleaning
When the dry ice cleaning operation of the seat mold, the operator will spray the dry ice particles and air to the surface of the mold through pipes and nozzles, so that the dirt on the mold can be quickly removed and the purpose of cleaning the mold can be achieved. Due to the harsh operating environment of dry ice cleaning, the personnel turnover is high and the operation efficiency is low.
Two ROKAZ CR12 flexible collaborative robots adopt a symmetrical layout to replace two manual workers for 24-hour uninterrupted operation, helping to increase cleaning efficiency by 200% and greatly saving labor costs. The robot supports drag teaching, which is easy for operators to use, and can easily adapt to different types of mold switching, so as to achieve stable and reliable dry ice cleaning of seat molds.
