OVERVIEW
A major automation line manufacturer engaged us to develop a customised arm for supporting screwdrivers (4), to be incorporated into an automatic engine gearbox tightening line.
AIMS
- Certainty of the position requested;
- Certainty of tightening of all the screws;
- Indexing of the sensorised arm for use with different part formats;
- Automatic retraction system for the arm when not in use;
- Interfacing indexing arm with the PLC of the line.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT - SOLUTION
Creation of a complete workstation with:
- ERGONOMIC SENSOR-EQUIPPED ARM: Handy-Flex series orthogonal anti-reaction sensor-equipped arm 400D. Complete with rotating interface for four-spindle multiple and position sensors for line feed signal management. Watch the video
- PLATE FOR SUPPORT customised
- INDEXING ARM AND DUAL START: with signals for interfacing with PLC.

RESULTS
- Certain Positioning in the points required for tightening in the various formats
- Elimination of errors due to incorrect positioning
- Optimisation of the production process and increase in productivity
- Improvement ergonomic of the workstation of work
- Simple and intuitive management of work phases. 90% reduction in errors due to misinterpretation of the process and work phases.
