Automation of sub-processes for the assembly of energy chains

Efficient Energy Chain Assembly with 3-Axis Delta Robot Automation

The assembly of energy chains involves various intricate steps requiring precision and efficiency. To streamline this process, the igus engineering team has introduced automation using a 3-axis Delta robot. The robot collects individual components from a vibrating table, correctly orients them, and places them onto a conveyor belt. In subsequent steps, the robot picks up parts of the energy chain and transfers them to a designated location for pickup by a gripper. This automation accelerates workflows, improves accuracy, and optimizes assembly operations.

What is the Application?

The system automates energy chain assembly, handling component positioning, part transfers, and preparation for further processing.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• Improved Accuracy: Ensures precise orientation and placement of components.

• Increased Efficiency: Accelerates assembly steps and reduces cycle times.

• Adaptability: Adjusts easily to changes in component sizes and configurations.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The 3-axis Delta robot offers exceptional performance in this application:

• Fast Movements: High-speed operations for repetitive tasks.

• Compact Design: Suitable for tight assembly areas.

• Consistency: Reliable handling of components with repeatable accuracy.
