Assistance system
Error prevention in flow production
The Local Positioning System (LPS) assistance system from Sarissa is used successfully in flow production for quality assurance. The system is used to recognize the positions of hand-held tools during screwing processes, for example in underbody assembly for vehicle floors.
Sarissa's technology can be used in complex assembly situations such as flow production and overhead bolting. The system detects the position of hand-held tools with millimeter precision and ensures that the screws are tightened in the right place and in the correct sequence. Consisting of transmitters attached to the tool and one or more receiver units, the LPS observes the screwdriver bit. When working on moving workpieces, the tool sensor references a moving coordinate system and calculates the position. In addition, the use of several receivers should ensure that the moving workpieces are "passed on" smoothly from receiver to receiver. Any errors in the assembly process should be avoided with the LPS during the value creation process.
The Sarissa LPS can be used as a flexible assistance system or as a pure 3D coordinate supplier. It is tool- and manufacturer-independent and can also be used for gripping processes to detect the positions of the worker's hands. If the application already has a worker guidance system, only the coordinate sensor is used, which communicates with the existing worker guidance system via the interfaces. It transfers the spatial coordinates and therefore the position of the tool or the worker's hands to the higher-level controller. as
