Single arm Yumi IRB 14050-0.5/0.5 @ University of Lincoln, UK Components: Collaborative single arm, vacuum gripper, servo actuated gripper, hi-res camera, first gripper vision The robot is currently used to demonstrate liquid/powder ingredients dosing. User can input the desired recipe and the robot selects the right containers and grasps them in the right sequence using 3D cameras and a rigid gripper. It then pours…
KUKA iiwa 14 – manipulation of ingredients @ University of Lincoln, UK Components: Wide range of HE robots, hi-res vision system, conveyor, vacuum actuator, laser scanners The KUKA iiwa is used to demonstrate human/robot collaboration in ingredients handling with a significant payload (up to 14Kg). It can be equipped with soft grippers, rigid grippers, vacuum or Bernoulli actuators. In terms of sensors, it can be…
Bosch APAS – component pattern recognition and gesture control @ ZeMA, Germany ZeMA supports Woll Sondermaschinenbau in the development of new competences in the field of Human-Robot-Cooperation (HRC). The Saarland-based company Woll Sondermaschinenbau manufactures and supplies special machines, assembly lines and production plants worldwide. Woll is a plant supplier offering tailor-made innovative solutions for industry…
SmartF-IT – Cyber-physical IT systems to master complexness of a new generation of multi-adaptive factories Software tools for multi-adaptive cyber-physical production systems For the factory of the future technologies are developed with Industrie 4.0 that make the production of small quantities in real time with maximum quality, yet low cost manageable. Thus, manufacturers can handle…
NeWiP – New Ways for information-led Production Project Description: The project is concerned with four areas of application, which are worked on and implemented by the companies Imperial, Woll Maschinenbau, XENON and ZF. In this way, different company and production areas, as well as their interconnectedness can be considered and further solutions developed. The focal…
IProGro2 – Developing innovative Production Technologies for large Components Challenges and Objectives: Companies in the transport sector, such as in aircraft construction, are characterized primarily by low quantitative output of production, as well as by long product lifecycles. Furthermore, a continuous development of production systems does not take place. As a result, a high number of…
Virtual Reality training @ Flanders Make, Belgium as the demand for customised items increases, operators need to be able to handle a diversity of tasks. Learning new assemblies can be difficult and slow down production. Virtual reality setups, based on actual CAD designs of the product, allow to practice the assembly even before the components…
Cobot assembly station @ Flanders Make, Belgium A human and a cobot (or collaborative robot) work together on the assembly of a small compressor. The operator takes care of the precision work, while the cobot handles the heavy and repetitive task. This demonstrator shows the advantages of digital work instructions, tailored to the experience level…
Collaborative Workcell 4.0 @ Flanders Make, Belgium In our hybrid workstation we demonstrate the added value of human-robot collaboration. Cobots (or collaborative robots) are designed to work together with operators and handle a multitude of tasks. This is the best way to deal with the demand for small series production. At the same time, the…
KUKA iiwa: Collaborative dismantling of geared motors The Department of Robotics and Control of the Environmental Campus at Trier University of Applied Sciences is concerned with the development of environmentally friendly production and dismantling processes, including human-robot cooperation. Environmentally friendly production also means the inclusion of used, but reusable system components in industrial production. For…
