Robotic arm For Strip placement In Aluminium Frame
Our customer was a Belgium based manufacturer of aluminum products for the building sector. They were interested in cutting edge technologies to automate their process to improve efficiency. One of the challenge which they were facing was that many of the current processes are done manually. Customer wanted to explore the use of robotics with the use of cutting- edge technologies like computer vision to replace some of the worker operations
Solution description
Gadgeon helped them to execute the placement of rubber strips on the aluminum frames with a Robotic arm and vision-based camera
A vision camera was fitted in the robotic arm along with computer vision-based algorithms helped the robot to pick the strip and place inside the Aluminium frame
A robot controller software controlled the robotic arm based on the inputs from the vision camera
Different algorithms developed for identifying the defects in the strip before placing it on the frame
Outcomes and benefits delivered
The processes were automated, and the working efficiencies were improved compared to the labor operation
Significant cost savings in terms of labor cost
The usage of computer vision and vision camera helped in improving the precision of the work
Placement of rubber strips on aluminum frames of doors and windows could be done accurately
The business context and challenges of the customer
Many of the current process involves manual process, they wanted it to be automated
Precision while placing a rubber strip on aluminum frames of doors and windows wanted to be achieved
They wanted to replace the repetitive process with robotics with the use of cutting-edge technologies like computer vision to achieve the precision
They wanted to replace the act of operator with a robotic arm so that the work can be done efficiently and accurately
