Design della cella robotizzata SCARA

In uno dei nostri progetti di automazione, siamo stati incaricati di progettare una cella robotizzata.

L’obiettivo è che la cella robotizzata SCARA esegua un semplice processo di palettizzazione: l’alimentazione dei pezzi, l’esecuzione di un compito di “pick and place” dopo averne rilevato la posizione in modo intelligente e aver preso cura delle soluzioni di efficienza energetica. Abbiamo dovuto realizzare la costruzione finale utilizzando le unità esistenti del cliente.
Durante il programma di progettazione, la flessibilità e la compattezza della cella sono state adattate in base alle esigenze del cliente, tenendo presente la massima protezione e sicurezza dell’operatore. La gestione è semplice e conveniente e le soluzioni basate sulla digitalizzazione consentono di seguire e monitorare i flussi di lavoro online.

Siamo stati in grado di completare il lavoro di progettazione con la qualità prevista in tempo.

Development and automation of existing production equipment

Within the framework of our projects, it is possible to modernize and supplement existing production equipment by adding additional functions and stations. The documentation of our customers’ existing equipment is often incomplete, – therefore the implementation may also include the reverse engineering of the existing equipment’s technical solutions. We undertake the mechanical and electrical renovation of your existing production equipment, as well as the adaptation of its software interface to your needs.

Automatic steel linishing station

Our client had several generations of machines for linishing steel products. He asked to supplement one of his existing machines with an extra station, which is functional on its own, while also being able to take control of the previous machine and supplement it. In the framework of the project, the mechanics of the equipment were also completely renewed, and its components were standardized for compatibility with the new generation equipment.

Geometria unica del rotolo ondulato

Nella produzione di cartone ondulato di carta, le coppie di rulli ondulati conferiscono allo strato ondulato la geometria finale. Questa parte del processo determina le proprietà meccaniche del prodotto e quindi la gamma di applicazioni.

Abbiamo progettato una geometria unica della superficie del rotolo in grado di produrre un prodotto con i parametri specificati. I problemi da risolvere quando si determina la geometria comprendono non solo compiti di dimensionamento (come determinare le forze di pressatura richieste, calcoli di resistenza, dimensionamento dei rulli o simulazioni), ma anche evitare lo strappo della carta e massimizzare la velocità operativa.

Un’ulteriore parte del processo di progettazione può essere la produzione di prototipi e la progettazione di macchine di prova, quindi il funzionamento del test e la messa a punto.

Ottimizzazione dell’ingranaggio cilindrico

Nell’industria automobilistica, in particolare in condizioni competitive, la riduzione del peso di vari componenti di macchine e trasmissione diventa una priorità.

Gli elementi di trasmissione rotanti leggeri sono vantaggiosi in molti modi: non solo il peso totale trasportato sarà ridotto, ma anche l’inerzia della parte ruotata. Le modifiche ai parametri di cui sopra hanno anche un effetto positivo sul consumo e l’accelerazione del veicolo. Al fine di garantire l’affidabilità operativa con la riduzione del peso desiderata, possono essere richiesti calcoli di resistenza, simulazione di elementi finiti o persino ottimizzazione topologica. Il compito è stato complicato dal fatto che in origine c’erano alcuni buchi in un modello circolare attorno all’asse di rotazione. Richiede adattamento. Attraverso una varietà di metodi e analisi di soluzioni, ci impegniamo per modifiche semplici ed economiche che soddisfino le esigenze del cliente. Con la geometria finale proposta, il peso dell’ingranaggio cilindrico originale è stato ridotto di oltre un terzo.

Dopo la lavorazione, la ruota dentata è stata reinserita al suo posto e continua a funzionare correttamente.
