AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, simply integrating the adhesive applicator into the robot poses significant challenges
In the case of modern highly adaptable assembly robots with multiple degrees of freedom, non-self-contained adhesive applicators require considerable lengths of adhesive conduits that may hinder the movement of the robot, or may become entangled in it, thus damaging the
Additionally, a conduit of this length contains a considerable amount of adhesive, which leads to waste
And finally, the adhesive may drip from the adhesive applicator during the movement of the robot, which may reduce the quality of the final product, or pollute the workplace
This latter case is even a problem for simpler robots with few degrees of freedom

Embodiment Construction

[0028] The system 1 for assembling laminated structures according to the invention is in figure 1 is schematically shown in plan view, while in figure 2 Shown in side view. The system 1 is built around a robot 10, which may be any suitable type of robot capable of moving in or around at least one axis, i.e. the robot may be a polar coordinate robot, a Cartesian coordinate robot, or any combination. The system can be easily adapted to various other robot types and can be easily adapted to be integrated into an embedded production system. At least one material input station 11 is provided, shown herein as a mandatory material input station 11 shown in solid lines and an optional material input station 11' shown in dashed lines, which Arranged for providing sheet-form material. The incorporation of additional material input stations is also foreseen as may be required by the particular laminated structure being produced. The material input station may comprise racks, convey...

Abstract

A system (1) and a method for assembling laminated structures utilising a robot (10) for collecting and placing sheet-shaped material, further utilising an adhesive applicator (13) which is collected from an adhesive applicator rest station (14) by the robot (10), is used to apply adhesive to the sheet-shaped material, and is then returned to the adhesive applicator rest station (14).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method and a system for assembling laminated structures from sheet-form materials. Background technique [0002] Sheet or plate materials are generally materials that have a thickness that is significantly smaller than their length and width, and may be of constant thickness, or of varying thickness such as wedges. This material can have a straight or curved form, or a combination of both. [0003] In many automated industrial assembly situations for assembling laminated structures, it is not economical to have a high level of assembly robot specialization due to the capital costs incurred in acquiring highly specialized equipment. Therefore, it is generally preferred to be able to use the same robot for several assembly steps in a serial production line or in piece-by-piece assembly. [0004] In existing situations where laminated structures are assembled from sheet material, the same robot may be required to be us...
