RoboFrame – Frame Assembly Edition » Industrial Robotics
Providing a helping hand in the operations of upholstery frame assembly
Assembling frames in upholstery can be a tedious task that requires precision and attention to detail. With RoboFame, this process becomes more efficient and less complicated. Since the robot can be equipped with multiple staple guns, we can transfer the stapling operation from the person to the robot, ensuring accuracy and consistency. This frees up employees to focus on preparing new parts and placing them in the template, increasing the overall production efficiency. To further enhance productivity, relevant information can be displayed on nearby monitors, providing guidance to employees and production managers regarding the part placement, work time, downtime, etc.
Advantages of the RoboFrame – Robotic Solid-Wood Bedframe Assembly
- Precise screwing and stapling operations. The robot drives screws and staples exactly where needed, reducing errors and rework.
- Streamlined production. Time-consuming movements like searching for and handling the staple gun are eliminated, allowing employees to focus on efficient frame assembly.
- Continuous staple output. The system maintains a constant supply of staples, ensuring an uninterrupted workflow.
- Automatic staple reloads. An automatic reload station minimises employee intervention, optimising the robot’s performance.
- Improved cycle time. Consistent stapling speed lets workers prepare the next part while the robot is still stapling, increasing production efficiency.
- Custom templates. Specially designed templates facilitate quick placement of frame parts, further enhancing productivity.
- Versatility. The system can handle furniture of different types and dimensions within a single robotic cell.
- Increased throughput. Up to three workers can simultaneously handle six products, maximising output.
- Easy programming. The EASY TO TEACH system lets you create a new program quickly by simply showing the robot where to staple.
- Batch production capability. The solution can be reconfigured rapidly for different product batches.
- Automatic pallet feeding. Ensures a steady material flow between stations and reduces manual handling.
- Flipping and unloading heavy products. The robot flips and unloads finished frames safely, reducing operator strain and setup time for the next cycle
Collaborating with an industrial robot to maximise performance
By implementing the RoboFrame – Frame Assembly edition, efficiency is boosted not only through the elimination of manual stapling operations. Workers are integrated into a cohesive system where they operate independently, but adhere to a predetermined timeframe, maximising productivity.
The innovative double-sided workstations enable seamless production, with the employees on one side and the robot handling stapling operations on the other. This setup promises simultaneous processing of different batches across multiple workstations.
Additionally, our user-friendly EASY TO TEACH technology simplifies the programming of the robot’s stapling locations. Operators can effortlessly demonstrate the desired areas to staple, and the robot will replicate those movements accurately. This intuitive approach eliminates the need for complex programming and ensures a seamless setup process.
