Specially developed for the conditions in final assembly, the automated optical measuring system CALIPRI CB20 measures gap and flush with the highest precision and repeatability, even on poorly or excessively reflective surfaces. The key to this is the patented CaliBreezeTM technology, which uses a thin layer of condensed water to optimize the optical properties of different surfaces for measurement. After the measurement, which only takes a few seconds, the condensation layer disappears without residue. CALIPRI CB20 integrates two patented technologies: CaliBreezeTM technology and the Calipri principle. The latter is a technology renowned in the industry and already integrated in all other CALIPRI solutions from Nextsense. Thus, the cross-platform measurement specifications allow the comparison of the measurement data of all CALIPRI solutions, which simplifies the optimization of production processes.

CALIPRI C12 is a gap and flush measurement system that can be fully integrated into the line and is used for full checks of automobile bodies. The system can be used with standard industrial robots as well as HRC lightweight robots. By using CALIPRI C12 in your production line, you are relying on highly-precise measurement results without any mathematical approximation methods as well as globally unique automatic rotation and tilt correction. The patented CALIPRI measurement method is used here – a further development of the laser light section technology. The results from the automated measuring system can be compared with the data from the mobile gap measurement devices (CALIPRI C10/C14, CALIPRI C11/C15) due to cross-platform evaluation methods in order to detect deviations in the process and to derive appropriate measures from this.

The high-performance robot palletizer PRINCIPAL-R, an articulated arm robot palletizing system, is always offered as a customer-specific solution with renowned industrial robot manufacturers and STATEC BINDER know-how. Depending on the required performance, different robot models are used. The gripper is also adapted to the respective application. A special feature of the PRINCIPAL-R is that it has been optimized for sling bags. As standard, jointed-arm robots with 4 axes and a rotation of up to 360° in the R-axis are used. This robot type is particularly suitable for palletizing and depalletizing applications due to its fast and repeatable movement. The operation and selection of the pallet patterns is carried out simply via a touch screen. The set-up variants range from a single to a double to a multiple line arrangement

Welding and cutting processes Depending on material and sheet thickness following processes are used: GMAW - Gas Metal Arc Welding (MIG/MAG) GTAW - Tungsten Inert Gas Welding (TIG), Cold & Hot Wire PAW - Plasma arc welding or cutting FSW - Friction Stir Welding Laser-Hybrid Welding RSW – Resistance Spot Welding igm robots may be used for all non-contact welding and cutting processes. Power sources from many well-known manufacturers can be integrated with our robot systems for welding and cutting applications. Products range from digital inverter power sources for MIG/MAG welding, TIG applications, plasma cutting and welding apparatus to high-capacity devices for the tandem process. Brushing, Grinding and Handling - Manipulation using Robots Through the possibilities afforded by a modular configuration of robot cells and the integration of diverse tools in the robot control sequence, significantly better throughput times and constant process qualities can be achieved. As a...

igm robot periphery The robot is mounted on the robot periphery in an upright or suspended position. The external axes of the track systems are fully integrated in the control system as NC axes, significantly extending the working area of the robot. A variety of different rotating and linear units are available, either as single axes or combined with up to three positioning units. It is also possible that several robots share a track axis. The positioning range of a longitudinal axis is up to 100 m and more. igm workpiece periphery The workpiece periphery holds, positions, and moves workpieces. The external axes are fully integrated in the control systems as NC axes and, in addition, feature manual control functionality. External axes may be included in workpiece manipulation during execution of welding steps. Using the teach pendant, they are programmed together with the robot axes. A variety of different rotary modules is available, as a single axis or combined with up to three...

Concept of RCE control system The control system is a fully digital controlled system. This means there are only digital signal processors (DSP) involved in the entire control system and not any analogue electronic component. All the components of the control system (such as control cabinet, welding power source, each axis and the teach pendant) are linked by a digital bus system. A full digital robot control system brings the following advantages: No influence by any environmental disturbance like inductive fields of welding cables Quickest response time by fastest bus connection > smooth motion of robot Absolute reproducibility of welding result > highest consistency in welding quality Easy diagnosis possibilities of the entire robot control system > less skills and no special instruments for diagnosis are necessary By using modular drive technology and standard PC components a high reliability is guaranteed and the ability to remain constantly at the cutting edge of...

More than 40 years experience in the development of welding robots and planning of production plants appear in a extensive range of system modules. The main module is the igm robot series RTE 400. Benefits, typical for igm robots: Outstanding programming techniques with both the K6 programming teach pendant and the offline teaching system. Large work zone and perfect welding access to seam positions due to an optimal axes geometry and mounting of the welding torch in the wrist axis, implemented as a hollow shaft. All cables are inside the robot arms using hollow shafts. The particular features of the RTE 400 modular robot system are the extremely slim robotic arms, optimized for weight and rigidity. For axes 2 and 4 there are available different lengths, the right range of movement can be selected for any application. The highly dynamic, maintenance-free AC servo motors and outstanding characteristics of the joint construction of rigid cast aluminium guarantee a high rotational...

Operational availability of the robot installation for production is increased by using an off-line system for generating robot programs. While saving time, programs may be prepared more conveniently in an office environment and simulation test runs (accessibility, computation of cycle time) may be performed. Collisions of the robot with the workpiece or fixtures may be detected at an early stage. Offline programming - Online working Simple robot programming is available through the self developed PC-based off-line programming system, using the original software of the robot control system and the teach pendant K6. Offline programming involves work piece oriented programming in 3D mode using a PC and simulation software. The workpiece is first imported into the programming system as 3D-CAD geometry, then the movements of the robot are determined. For path generation and definition of the processing parameters, a number of automatic functions as well as data bases stored in the...
