Telescopic Manipulator for handling Automotive doors
Telescopic Manipulator for handling Automotive doors
Fine Handling and Automation offers an ingenious solution for handling three door variants seamlessly. Utilizing a specialized vacuum-based gripper, equipped with heavy-duty vacuum cups operating at 6 bar air pressure, enables smooth handling of all three door variants. To cover a broad area on the assembly line with precision, our manipulator is mounted on a rail system, providing extensive X-Y movement capabilities for optimal coverage. Our approach not only streamlines operations but also delivers cost-effective handling solutions while prioritizing operator safety
Challenges
- Handle three variants of doors by single system
- Cover large area of assembly line wiith X-Y movement needs
- Different lifting and mounting angles of the doors
Solution and Benefits
- Lift: To handle all three variant of the doors a specialised vacuum based gripper was used . Heavy duty vacuum cups were used with air pressure 6 bar.
- Transfer: Since all 4 doors were to installed by same manipulator it had to cover large area, Manipulator was mounted on Rail system with X-Y movement.
- Mount: As lifting and mounting angles were different, Gripper was mounted on pivot joint which would give tilt, rotation and front back angular movement to the door.
