Automotive Dash Adhesion
An automotive second tier supplier asked DRM to design a dispensing cell that would eliminate the need for a person to spray adhesive on a dash assembly. This was an ergonomic and material savings application. DRM developed and system using a FANUC P-50 painting robot with integral dispensing system to deliver and apply the adhesive. The operator would stand outside the cell unloading/loading dash assemblies on a turntable while the robot sprayed. The Ethernet connected PLC and HMI managed the cell operation. This system was built on a platform which allowed for ease of transport and installation at the client facility.
Food Plant Pallet Stacking
A national food producer needed to stack cases of product exiting an assembly line on to an automated pallet system. DRM met the challenge with a FANUC R-1000 palletizing robot. This unit was equipped with a custom vacuum gripper for cases and pneumatic fold-out gripper for pallets. As the production line ran, the robot would stack the pallets with good cases. If a barcode reader failed a case, the robot would place that case on a different conveyor for operator inspection. Once the pallet was completely stacked, the conveyor would open a position for the robot to place a new pallet. Once placed the stacking would continue. This cell was designed to meet and exceed all applicable safety requirements. |
