Large Component Assembly & Material Handling

Project Title

Housing Assembly

Finished Product

Metal housing for residential fan & light assemblies

Project Description

This system assembles & fastens three (3) large metal components into a single housing. The system integrates material handling, decoiling, press forming and fastening technologies.

Two (2) and three (3)-sided pre-stamped parts are fed into the system via a cleated inbound conveyor. The parts are picked up by a 6-axis robot, tool-formed into the appropriate configurations, and nested together. The subassemblies are transferred via walking beam through a variety of TOX fastening systems. A third piece of sheet metal is decoiled, stamped and servo-fed into the housing subassembly, positioning it for subsequent joining operations. The final assembly is off-loaded onto a roller conveyor.

Advanced guarding features, including a 3-position enabling device, are provided throughout this system, to allow full access to the integrated joining and press forming systems.

Features

  • 9 second cycle time
  • Capable of 24/7 operation
  • Advanced diagnostics via Panelview operator interface
  • Customized transfer and forming operations
  • Integrated press, joining, and decoiling systems

Benefits

  • Significantly reduced labor
