Assembly process for stamped parts. Robots are used for welding parts together and for material handling. In a robot cell at least a few robots use vacuum in handling operations. The metal sheets are still oily but the speeds and cycle times are much slower than in stamping. Safety and energy-saving devices are important for efficient operation.
Advantages with PIAB
- Reduced energy consumption with COAX® technology and optimizers
- Increased safety with special vacuum check valve
- Flexible tooling components for easy positioning of the suction cups
- Higher degree of process control, sensing vacuum at each suction cup
