Analysis and Development of a Robotic Disk Mounting Stand

摘要

Industry 4.0 and related automation concepts are nowadays vivid fields of research. Even more, such concepts are applied where humans have to work on tedious and dull or dangerous and dirty tasks. Additionally, small companies can also fill gaps where they do not find suitable personnel. Consequently, this industry is also reflected in our study program, the related automation and robotics lectures as well as in the Bachelor projects which carried out in our lab. In this work, we first present the teaching concept developed for robotics lectures and lab. Then, we present the successful application of the taught matter for the development of an automation concept for an industrial assembly task using a robot manipulator together with a programmable logic controller. In the target application a robot is used to assemble and glue 215 carbide blades into a steel disk to fabricate gearing components. In order to successfully implement such a concept, the process is consequently broken down in substeps where each one is analyzed individually.
