- Description
- A self-contained manufacturing cell for the automated production of assembling wiring installations directly onto products. The stand-alone design has a tubular steel frame with steel cladding, glass windows and a full width door for easy loading. The operator station accommodates a continuous supply from an external warehouse and is designed to be a hybrid manufacturing system. The flexible industrial robot can perform several different functions, and this is achieved by using several interchangeable tools housed within the machine. These tools can be used to add wiring and connectors directly onto various products, sub-assemblies or components and can deliver 3D polymer structures onto complex non-planar surfaces that need an electrical function. Functions include wire deposition, wire termination to connectors, polymer deposition, heated bare wire embedment, insulated wire installations and pick and place of connectors and small components. The products or components can be made of metal, ceramic, or polymer and the methods used are laying wires on adhesive surfaces to hold the wiring in place and wiring trap grooves on the surfaces of the parts to hold the wires in place. The electrical functions can be specified by the designer/customer using a CAD/CAM which allows customised applications. The machine is controlled via a touch screen and keyboard. In addition to control functions, the screen provides an overview of the manufacturing platform status, performance and displays productivity and quality data. Used for automotive components, aerospace and integrated systems in white goods and many others.
