Reconfigurable assembly cell - AUTOMOTIVE Industry demonstrator

The Automotive industry demonstrator was created in order to prove the feasibility of an autonomous and flexible production line which will be able to reconfigure dynamically according to the current situation. The demonstrator took place at TOFAS premises and all the partners took part at the final tuning and the integration of all the AUTORECON components in order to be able to operate without problems at the specific cell. An overview of the demo area can be seen in the provided image. The components that were installed at the demo area and used for the final demonstration were the following: • A Smart5 NJ 220 – 2.7 COMAU Robot; • A Mobile Unit (Tecnalia’s Mobile Platform + Smart5 NJ4 170 – 2.5 COMAU Robot); • A Flexible Gripper; • A Dexterous Gripper; • A Welding Robot (Smart NH4 COMAU Robot + COMAU Welding Gun); • Various automotive parts (9 single parts and 2 subassemblies) placed on especially designed racks. Below, at Figure 12, the nine parts of the loading area can be seen; • 1 mobile fixture especially designed for moving the Tunnel subassembly from the loading area to the welding area; • The AUTORECON-Master pc where the AUTORECON Control Software was running.
