These are some of the recently completed projects.
PROJECTS
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
HANDLING LINE WITH TURNER AND ROBOTIC PALLETIZING CELL
Construction of a handling line with belt and roller conveyors, integrated with a box-forming, bag-filling and box-closing machine, as well as modification, configuration and programming of a palletizing cell with a FANUC robot.
The handling line, controlled by a SIEMENS PLC, includes a pneumatic turner orienting the boxes in a way that facilitates the subsequent operation of the palletizing robot.
The control panel includes a SIEMENS HMI screen for configuration of the different box formats, selection of the operating mode and adjustment of cycle parameters.
AUTOMATED BOARD SORTER/STORAGE
Design, manufacture, installation and commissioning of a cylindrical warehouse for organising wooden boards.
– Automatic cylindrical warehouse for boards of different dimensions.
– KUKA robot for moving boards.
– Integration into the manufacturing line.
– Communication with the company’s ERP.
– Future expansion for line loading by robot and bin picking with artificial vision and technology Deep learning (artificial intelligence).
Benefits:
Optimisation of board storage according to orders and dimensions. Optimisation of the use of raw materials and manufacturing resources.
AUTOMATIC CELL FOR ASSEMBLING DIFFERENTIAL BOXES
– Cell with different stations for assembly, pressing, screwing, welding and brushing of automobile differential boxes.
– ABB robot for handling parts.
– 9 machine vision cameras for quality control and traceability.
Benefits:
Automation of all assembly operations, including quality controls at different points in the process, as well as HMI screens for displaying status, alarms, manual movements and quality control images. Productivity and reliability of the line are increased compared to manual assembly.
ROBOTIC ISLAND FOR CONTROL AND MEASUREMENT OF PARTS
– FANUC robot for handling parts.
– Integration with measurement and quality control stations.
– Vision camera for format control and traceability.
– Island security design.
Benefits:
Automation of tasks for loading and unloading parts on conveyors and measurement and quality control stations, allowing for increased productivity and reduced errors, as well as increased safety for operators and assets.
MODIFICATION OF PNEUMATIC MANIPULATOR, ELECTRIC MANIPULATOR AND HANDLING LINE AT RENAULT
Modification in the operation of the pine nut transport line due to the machinery replacement. Adding a 4-axis pneumatic manipulator with HMI screen controlled by Siemens PLC.
It has manual and automatic operation. It is synchronized and communicated with a tooling machine and with conveyor. An electric manipulator with 4-axis Rexroth servos controlled by a Rexroth automaton is added. It also has a manual and automatic mode and is synchronized and communicated with the tooling machine and with conveyor. The maintenance operation, controlled by a Siemens PLC, is adapted to work with the new machinery.
AUTOMATIC CONTROL AND SUPERVISION OF AIR CONDITIONING IN THE ENAIRE RADAR BUILDING (ERILLAS)
PALLET ENTRY WITH DATA TRACKING AND COMMUNICATION WITH AGV IN BEVERAGE FACTORY
Design, programming and commissioning of a pallet conveyor line at the Cocacola plant in Barcelona. The pallets are delivered by AGVs, which communicate us a series of data inherent to the pallet. The pallets go through a series of quality controls (visual inspection and measurement control), and are again delivered at the end of the line to another AGV, accompanied by their data, which the result of the controls carried out has been added.
In this case, the control is carried out through a WinAC installed on a SIEMENS IPC. The screen includes a SCADA made in WinCC.
For validation, a digital twin that allowed test all the software before going to the physical plant (virtual commissioning).
LOADING AND UNLOADING MACHINES WITH A COLLABORATIVE ROBOT
– Collaborative robot for handling parts.
– Safe integration of robot operations with the operator.
Benefits:
Save on security fencing with a secure solution.
DOUBLE LINE ICE BAG PALLETIZING CELL AND AUTOMATIC COMPACTOR
– Automated cell at the end of the line for palletizing ice bags from 2 parallel lines.
– ABB Robot.
– Special tool design for picking up ice bags using a suction plane and pallets using extendable claws.
– Compactor design for stable pallet formation.
– Communication and synchronization of the cell with conveyors and machines on the line.
Benefits:
Increased productivity and reduced errors, reduced absenteeism among palletizing personnel.
QUALITY CONTROL IN HEAT SEALING BAGS
– Infrared artificial vision system with artificial intelligence (deep learning) for controlling the heat sealing of plastic bags after packaging.
– Integration with packaging machine.
Benefits:
Elimination of customer complaints. Measurement of heat sealing machine performance for adjustments and maintenance.
VERIFICATION OF TOOLS IN PRINTING MACHINE PACKAGING SECTOR
– Use of RFID antennas and tags to verify the correct placement of tools (dies, clichés, inks) in a cardboard box printing machine.
– Communication with ERP for recipes and production data.
Benefits:
Elimination of customer complaints.
