Automated dispensing assembly process with improved quality control
Dispensing glue, wax, and other materials in powertrain assembly poses several challenges. Achieving shot-to-shot repeatability and accuracy is crucial for consistent and precise dispensing. Maintaining equipment through regular maintenance and calibration is necessary to prevent issues like clogging or inconsistent flow.
Challenge
Labor intensive to maintain precise dispensing
In the automotive industry, there is constant pressure to increase production speed and efficiency. This demand for faster throughput can pose challenges in dispensing applications, as it requires balancing speed with accuracy and precision. Hiring adequately trained operators to maintain the dispensing equipment is essential. Proper training can help in avoiding errors and improving the overall quality of the dispensed materials.
Solution
Cobots with advanced sensing improve productivity
Omron's collaborative robots, also known as "cobots," use advanced sensing and precision control technologies to improve the accuracy and efficiency of dispensing in industrial applications. The use of advanced sensing technology like vision systems helps to ensure precise dispensing of glue, wax, etc. and eliminate waste. Omron cobots also enable collaborative applications that improve productivity, such as simultaneous dispensing, assembly and inspection.
