Comau + PRECISION ROBOTICA for FIRAD (case017)

Firad and Comau: diesel engine components calibration. A robotic solution with Comau Rebel-S6 and Racer-7

Our approach

 

The first robotic working station features two Comau robots, a Rebel-S6 (Scara family) and a Racer-7 (a 6-axis articulated robot). They work together to perform basic calibration in the final stage of nozzles manufacturing, made of multiple components that have been assembled together.

The station features two pallets: one is for picking raw parts; the other is for picking parts that have gone through a calibration machine. The Rebel-S6 picks a raw piece and a needle – which is a part of the nozzle – and creates a gap on the surface between the nozzle and the body. This operation is very important for the calibration of the injector holder.

Then, the Rebel-S6 picks the body and the needle from the pallet containing raw pieces. The body is then delivered to the measurement device, while the needle is taken to the Racer-7 articulated robot. As the measurement device works with the part, the Racer-7 picks the needle and gets it ready to enter the machinery. At this point, the measurement device transmits the exact desired size to the machine. When the measurement is completed, the processed piece is once again delivered to the previous station, where the Rebel-S6 picks it and re-assembles it with its body.

Improvements are given by automation

01

Manual machine tending took 35-40 seconds and needed proper security measures together with the related processing time.

02

The required time has now decreased to 20 seconds, resulting in much higher efficiency.

03

Today, the cell can process up to 3,000 pieces a day.
