The advantages of spray painting robot and case sharing with vision system integration

Posted on Oct 20th, 2015

The practical application of the robot is not limited to the automotive industry, the traditional industries, small businesses are beginning to try to use the robot for production, has been using the robot enterprises to obtain more than expected benefits, is preparing to increase the robot investment; wait and see enterprises are waiting Suppliers to make the perfect solution, but for the domestic enterprises, there are still most customers do not fully understand the benefits of the application of the robot, which is the current domestic enterprises in the robot application of a true portrayal. The data can clearly show that there are 141 units of robots in each of the thousands of auto industry workers in China, compared with 1584 in Japan and 1215 in Italy, 1176 in Germany, and so on in the automotive industry. The quality of the robot itself is with the development of the automobile industry has been gradually improved and improved, the current life of the robot can reach 5 years to 10 years, we can see the performance of the robot is very stable. With the rapid development of robot peripheral automation technology, the robot's function has been more play, the current robot is through the combination of visual systems become more and more intelligent, so that the use of various production processes in the robot are possible.

Painting robot is a branch of the robot family, in the practical application of the popular quickly, mainly because the price of the robot down to an acceptable level; in the current use can be found in matching resources, can be used in the solution The same time, people pay more and more attention to the environment of the workers on the harm to the body.

The specific advantages of spray robots are:
1, to improve product quality: Spraying robot will be in accordance with the instructions of the spraying engineer procedures to stabilize and repeat the work, between the gun and the workpiece always maintained a fixed distance, angle, the amount of paint is always set, do not worry about the accumulation of dripping , There are uneven thickness. At the same time, the robot can take the gun to reach the artificial hard to spray the site, so that after spraying the product quality is stable and consistent.
2, with the amount of paint (powder) is greatly reduced due to the stability of the robot spray and consistency, there will be no spray, ultra-range spraying, so that the amount of paint (powder) than artificial spray savings of 15% to 30%. The pollution of the recovered powder, the robot spray is much smaller than the artificial spray, can improve the quality of recycled powder, reduce the poor spray products.
 3, save the cost of labor costs Tu coating production lines are generally continuous operation, but the workers to rest, leave, leave and personal emotional fluctuations, but the robot can always do not know tired of work, as long as there are parts in the production line production.
4, their own safety Spray robot is one of the great contribution is to spray workers from a serious harm to the working environment, boring and repeated work in the state replaced, so that the company can reduce the purchase of protective equipment on the expenditure, but also lower It is important to follow up on the compensation costs and legal costs of workers' physical damage due to the working environment.
5, save space and energy The flexibility of the robot itself can be determined in the high-density production line or space to install, you can have the ground, walls, rails, roof and other installation methods, so that the area between the spray will be reduced , Saving the cost of the site. Spraying the environment is the need to maintain a certain energy consumption, space is reduced, energy consumption will naturally reduce.


 We have been able to learn more about its automation and intelligent functions by spraying a robot and vision system integrated system through an Yaskawa Motoman-EPX2900: Customer requirements: Continuous spraying of more than 70 sheet metal parts Project description:

 Spray robots need more than 70 different workpieces to provide consistent, high-quality spray effects, and integrated vision system robots can automatically select the appropriate robot program. If there is no corresponding program, the robot will call a generic, safe sprayer. This elastic system is installed in two independent operation of the spray room, if necessary, workers can manually fill the spray, the workpiece through the entire spray room that is completed spraying process.

Project Difficulties:
1, so that manual spraying more than 70 different parts of the painting process to achieve continuous automation;
2, Robot system integrated vision system;
3, to provide a flexible system: the robot in two separate paint spray can be independently operated, and allow workers to hand paint;
4, to provide high-quality spray quality, reduce the use of paint and related costs

solution:
 (1) Motoman-PX2900 robot with 2 sets of hollow wrist;
 (2) equipped with a compliance with the requirements of the DX100 control cabinet, each control cabinet, including additional I / O modules, analog output modules and equipment network module;
(3) Robot S-axis emergency stop;
(4) Visual System: Two-dimensional matrix verification camera, two cameras are set at different heights for identifying the paint on the workpiece. Each system includes a digital vision camera, a visual spreadsheet interface, and a robotic interface cable;
 (5) Stable tracking system: allows the robot to simulate the movement of the spraying line and spraying parts;
 (6) Peripheral protection to meet the requirements of laws and regulations, including 2.5 meters high iron wire fence;


 In summary, the advantages of the robot itself and the perfect combination of the visual system, will make the application of the robot more and more widely, can do the workers can not do the accuracy, stability, but also can not be done in the workers or not Of the environment in the ease of work, the practical application of the robot, such as the history of the wheel as unstoppable, but also as soon as the information revolution today, spraying robots are equipped with this trait.
