The Challenge
- Feed complex metal brackets unsuited to traditional systems, ensuring reliable orientation and positioning for coupling with wheels.
- Maintain high productivity across multiple variants (single-wheel/double-wheel) while reducing setup times and downtime.
- Embed inline quality (inspection and lubrication) in a compact layout with full process traceability.
The Solution
- FlexiBowl® 800 feeds complex-geometry brackets; the 6-axis robot picks and places them into assembly jigs.
- 2 DENSO LPH040 SCARA robots for fast, accurate handling in the service steps.
- Compact anthropomorphic DENSO VS6577 for complex tasks and FlexiBowl®/jig management.
- 2 vision systems verify the presence and conformity of balls inside the wheels.
- 3 automatic greasing stations before final assembly; modular, compact layout enables quick changeovers.
