See how the cooperating robot – cobot is replacing an operator in the process of a bus sheathing polishing
Robotized polishing station:
An interesting project consisting of three stages.
I – Delivery of the cobot equipped with a polishing tool, on a handcart. II – Upgrading the cobot control application based on integrated vision system. III – Integration of the polishing station with an autonomous mobile robot.
.
Technical challenges in application:
Proper positioning of the operators station – there was a need to find the way enabling the operator to quickly set the station in the right position. The crucial thing was an optimal distance between the station and the area to be polished along with keeping the surface in parallel. Parameter analysis is carried out based on security scanner and optical distance sensors.
Assigning the area for robot’s work – there was a need to introduce the method which would enable the operator to quickly determine the working area. In the first stage of the project we decided to use a robot gripper, by means of which the operator determines at least 4 points on the bus sheathing surface.
Selection and control of the polishing tool – in case of robotized station there is a narrowed selection of a polishing tool cooperating with a force sensor.
Security system – the station was to be designed in such a way that work in close proximity to operators would be possible while meeting the security requirements.

Concept
Concept
We offer consultations in the course of which, accompanied by our Client, we analyse the assumptions of the project and based on a detailed survey we work out the investment budget.
We render services relating to the preparation of a comprehensive concept of the system. That includes the following:
– Specification of products, packaging type and pallet templates
– Efficiency analysis
– System operation algorithm
– 2D scheme
– 3D scheme
– Electric and pneumatic installation plans
– Power balance
– Component list
– List of collisions
– Work schedule
3D Design
3D Design
We design system layouts, integration with production processes and unit machines, such as: transports, turntables, stackers, pallet storages and robot grippers.
In the process of 3D designing, our engineers use Solidworks. In order to manage changes to the working plans and specifications, we use Solidworks PDM.
Control
Control
We devise applications for articulated robots, Delta, SCARA, as well as cooperating robots. We use 3D models to conduct simulations prior to starting production. At this stage, we can verify the required ranges and cycle times.
In addition to robots, we deliver comprehensive PLC software for operation and integration with the production process, as well as SCADA and HMI for visualisation.
Production
Production
A robotised process is a modular system. We buy some elements of the system (robots, wrappers, labelling machines) from our suppliers.
The list below includes the components manufactured by us and delivered in accordance with the contracted delivery schedule:
– Transport systems
– Cross transfers
– Turntable transfers
– Pickpoints
– Stackers
– Pallet storages
– Grippers
The production process involves the approval of the design, order for the production of prefabricated elements, machine assembly and workshop testing.
Commissioning
Commissioning
The system is implemented at the Client’s site under the supervision of the project manager.
Stage 1 includes mechanical assembly of the machines delivered, followed by pneumatic and electrical installations and, finally, software activation, in the course of which our engineers carry out the start-up test, production tests, optimisation as well as training for system operators and maintenance technicians.
