Car manufacturing robots & Robotic Assembly lines
automotive robots are becoming a necessity because manufacturers need to optimise their robotic assembly lines and especially the car manufacturing sector.
Car Manufacturing Robots
The new emerging technologies are improving their robotic assembly lines in the automotive industry. Clearly, the presence of robotics in the manufacturing process is evolving. Manufacturers need to keep updated with these new trends. Such as:
- Collaborative Robotic, Human-robot working together
- Robotic systems require continuous quality improvement and more sophisticated high tech
- New markets for industrial robots will emerge
In fact, the car factory is well known for its intensive use of industrial robotic systems, the production lines need to be more flexible, efficient and precise, and many enhancements have been made to the production lines to help the workers in their daily tasks. However, we will discuss briefly the most common robots in the car manufacturing sector.
Most Common Robots in the Car Manufacturing Sector
Robotic Welding
Every automobile requires a high number of welds. Industrial Robots can perform this task, and the savings can be of great value.
Spray Painting Robots
A vehicle’s paint needs to be evenly applied across a large area. The accuracy and consistency of industrial robots is the main feature of the painting process.
Milling Robots
Automotive robots provide a high level of uptime for greater efficiency. Milling Robots provide very accurate and precise performance.
Robotic Assembly Lines
For windshield installation or wheel mounting, industrial robots provide unprecedented performance with this application.
Robotic Material Removal
For cutting and trimming of plastics, die castings or polishing moulds, the repeatability of robots is a significant advantage for improving quality in material removal.
Dispensing Robots
Robotic dispensing allows for very controlled path following, allowing the laying down of beads of the product with great accuracy. Besides this, the robot can very accurately control the quantity of material dispensed via a direct interface.
Advantages of using Robots in Car Manufacturing
- The robotic system can dramatically improve your product quality with high precision and repeatability.
- Robotic automation can also increase production levels. Robots can work at a constant speed without taking breaks or vacations.
- The industrial robot system increase workplace safety, the workers are moved to the supervisory roles where they do not have to perform dangerous applications in hazardous settings.
- The industrial robots reduce costs (healthcare and insurance savings).
- The staff works alongside the robots in handling and assembly the applications in the automotive industry, and the robots are performing the monotonous and sometimes dangerous tasks that the humans do not enjoy.
Plastic Robot applications for Car Industry
The plastic Industry in the UK plays an important role in all industries including, packaging, automotive, medical, aerospace and even construction. Industrial Robot meets the requirements for this industry, they are stable, accurate, high-quality parts at relatively faster speeds.
The market is moving forward, impressive advancements in plastics and rubber technology have created new profit opportunities for manufacturers. Plastics are increasingly providing more solutions than any other material. However, it is the ability to incorporate additional tasks that make it more attractive.
New robot automation trend for Plastic Industry
- Multi-shot molding
- High-speed demolding
- In-mold decoration
- In-mold labelling
All of these applications can be fully integrated with robotic systems. The industrial robot arm will directly load the part moulded and trimmed. The plastic industry brings new opportunities and it will continue growing in the future economy, due that the plastic products are lightweight, versatility, design freedom, suitability for large scale production, and recyclability, as a results make easy for the robot to work.
The industrial robot provides an extremely large work envelope within a small footprint. Hence, the robot can be floor, wall or ceiling mounted and they can be adapted to the existing system integration.
