gantryRobot Application 2: Automotive Final Assembly

Requirement
Transfer of complete assembled front axle from an AGV to final car assembly line

• Application in automotive final assembly
• Heavy payload of 1200 kg (complete front axle, gripper, compliance devices)
• The same controller concept for articulated and gantry robots (ABB robot controller) minimizes programming and commissioning time
• Integration into an existing assembly line. Integration and commissioning on site completed in 1 week!

Solution

Linear gantry robot with special end effector device to handle fully assembled front axle. Special gripper system gives compliance in all directions. This allows ease of part pick up from an AGV without requiring the part to be positioned accurately.
