Description

1 TARIFF MAGNA SIGNAL GENERATION LINE WITH INTEGRATED SENSOR AND ROBOT TECHNOLOGY AUTOMATION SYSTEM Technical Area The invention relates to the field of industrial automation and production systems, particularly in production lines. The various processing stations located there are synchronized through robot technology and sensor integration. It relates to the automation system that enables it to function in this way. The invention specifically addresses handling, assembly, boiling, baking, testing, and packaging in production processes. robotics technology enables processes such as these to be performed synchronously and without errors. Equipped with sensor integration, each processing station works in coordination with each other. by minimizing the need for manual intervention, continuously monitoring quality control processes, and It relates to automation systems that increase the efficiency of the production line. State of the Art In industrial production lines, automation systems increase efficiency and reduce labor costs. to reduce and minimize error rates in the production process widely It is used. However, in existing automation systems, especially in transportation, assembly, welding, 20 Basic processes such as baking, testing, and packaging still rely on manual intervention. This situation leads to various problems in the production line and affects efficiency and quality control. This creates serious difficulties in this regard. One of the primary problems is the independent operation of the processing stations on the production line. 25 In traditional automation systems, each workstation typically operates independently. It is designed in this way. This makes synchronization between different processes difficult. For example, timing errors during the process of transporting products from one station to another. This can happen. When products are not transported in the correct order and at the right time, problems can arise on the production line. Problems such as pauses, delays between processes, and even incorrect product handling 30 These errors occur. Such errors significantly reduce the efficiency of the production process. The second major problem is the need for manual intervention. In current systems, operators are involved in production. Intervention in the process is often necessary. This is especially true in transportation, assembly, and welding operations. This is evident. The need for manual intervention increases the risk of human error and slows down the production process. 35 2 It slows things down. The human factor takes time to detect and correct errors. This leads to losses and causes stoppages in production lines. Furthermore, this type of Interventions require the operators' constant attention, which can lead to interruptions in the production process. That could be the reason. The third problem is that quality control is usually done manually. Most traditional automation is flawed. In this system, quality control is monitored by operators or with simple sensors. This situation, This presents a major challenge in terms of identifying defective products and improving processes. Simple sensors can only monitor specific parameters, which allows for the early detection of defective products. This makes detection difficult. The inclusion of defective products in production affects the quality of the final product by 10. This negatively impacts and leads to customer dissatisfaction. Furthermore, manual quality control... These processes are time-consuming and require constant intervention from operators. The root cause of these problems is that in current automation systems, each processing station is usually... The problem is its independent operation and the inability to achieve synchronization between systems. Robots and 15 Because the sensors only operate in a single process, data and process flow between multiple processes is difficult. It cannot be synchronized. Furthermore, the need for manual intervention increases the risk of human error. and leads to inefficiencies in the production process. As a result, such automation systems, It is insufficient in providing high efficiency and quality. In the current state of the art, sensors used in welding processes of industrial robots A project has been carried out on a smart sensor for resource trail tracking to improve its use. In the project, Robots can track weld marks using sensors that work especially well on glossy surfaces. The goal is to ensure that the welding is done correctly and to detect faulty areas. These sensors are designed to identify areas of error. It is designed. This technology is only concerned with the sourcing process and is 25 for a specific type of process. It is designed. However, multiple processes in the production line (transportation, assembly, welding, baking, testing) It lacks the ability to ensure coordination and synchronization between (processing, packaging). Robots And while sensors monitor only a specific stage, they accurately track all stages of the production process. It does not offer an integrated solution that will operate these sensors sequentially and simultaneously. Furthermore, these sensors... Error control and monitoring capabilities are limited because a separate sensor system is used at each stage. 30 This is possible, and there may be shortcomings in the early detection of defective products throughout the entire production line. In another study, "Robot" integrated robot and machine control into a single controller. They developed the "Integrated Controller". This system allows robots and equipment to be controlled by a single controller. It monitors and synchronizes in real time. This integration allows the devices on the production line to function effectively. It improves performance and enables high production levels to be achieved. Also, “35 in Mobile Robots A study titled "Use of 3D Camera Systems" has been conducted and a system has been developed. The system uses high-performance camera systems and video for 3D obstacle and load-bearing detection. 3 They include processing units. This allows robots to reliably perceive their surroundings and operate autonomously. Navigation can be performed. Existing automation systems can automate specific processes. Although successful, it fails to fully solve some of the problems encountered in industrial production lines. It is insufficient. In particular, there are deficiencies in inter-station synchronization and manual intervention. Issues such as requirements persist. For example, controller robots and equipment with 5 Even when integrated, it has limitations in ensuring the coordination and synchronization of the entire production line. However, while 3D camera systems are effective for certain applications, they are not suitable for all production processes. It cannot offer a general solution in these processes. Therefore, all stations on the production line will operate in a connected and synchronized manner, with robot technology and sensor integration. A comprehensive system equipped with advanced technology needs to be developed. Such a system would streamline production processes. The aim is to make it more efficient, faster, and error-free. In conclusion, it eliminates the disadvantages of the existing technology and the process in the production line. industrial automation systems that integrate robots and sensors and work in sync with their stations. The existence of the need and the inadequacy of existing solutions necessitate an improvement in the relevant technical field. 15 It has made it mandatory.
