XRob - Robotic assistant for handling and inspection CUSTOMIZED AUTOMATION Research for Industries Custom-tailored robotic system can be easily configured for new tasks The system enables inspection of small lot sizes In many cases automatic handling and inspecting of components in small quantities is not economically efficient. Therefore, PROFACTOR developed a custom-tailored robotic system – XRob. The system enables efficient automation of manual inspecting and handling tasks and is suitable for flexible production. XRob is designed to easily be commissioned on the line by the workers. Additionally, the system can be programmed and refitted for new task in few minutes. It is highly flexible, scalable and affordable. XRob can be provided with both gripper and sensor. The system is designed for completeness checks or checking plug connections. It records the 3D point cloud of an pulg connection as reference using a 3D structured light sensor. Consequently, a CAD model of the component is not required. INFOS Project example: XRob Funding: The Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG) Contact: DI (FH) Helmut Nöhmayer [email protected] WWW.PROFACTOR.AT XRob detects the working environment by means of low-cost reconstruction PORFACTOR has developed a technology, which is able to easily create a model of the working environment during commissioning and thus to avoid collisions automatically. ReconstructMe is a 3D-documentation-software using low-cost 3D sensors. The software creates a model of the working environment and thus, a model of the collision contours around robot, to be used to commission the system in seconds. Safety is ensured XRob does not need any safety enclosures (protective fences). All components of the system (tools, torque of the robot arms... ) are designed for maximum safety for the workers. Additionally the robot has an integrated path planning and active collision monitoring to prevent contacts with workers and objects. LEADING INNOVATIONS The advantages of XRob: »» Small cell dimension, Base-area of around 800 x 800 mm »» Mobile usable platform »» Programming in a short time by the operator himself »» Onboard-3D-sensor for inspection, handling and fitting tasks »» Automatic path-planning to avoid collisions »» Simple user interface for quick process creation »» Reconfigurable software framework based on IEC 61499 »» Use of different grippers and sensors »» No CAD Model for inspection task »» Secure interaction with people Technical data: Robot: Universal Robot UR10 (10 kg payload) Gripper system: as required Clock cycle depending on process < 12 s. 3D-Vision-System: Low cost sensors to High-End 3D-cameras Control system: PC-based / WIN 7 / 8
