Implementation of flexible production systems
Mobile and automatic
Stäubli is making a contribution to the implementation of flexible production systems at the Hannover Messe. One example is the Helmo mobile robot system. With it, Stäubli releases automation from its rigid corset and realizes mobility.
Helmo can drive completely autonomously and navigate itself within its production environment. For mobile operation, the vehicle has generously dimensioned energy storage units that ensure autonomy. The heart of the system is a powerful standard robot with as few modifications as possible, in this case a robot from the TX2 series. By combining robot technology and a mobile transport platform, Stäubli aims to offer a flexible production system that can automate complex tasks that were previously considered impossible to automate - such as loading and unloading and interlinking machine tools.
Automated guided vehicles (AGVs), such as those used by Helmo or in logistics, are an integral part of future-oriented production and supply chain processes as electric vehicles. The company has developed the automatic quick charging system QCC (Quick Charging Connection), which is used in container ports, for example, for the precise, efficient, safe and time-saving charging of energy storage systems. Stäubli recently strengthened its expertise in the field of mobile manufacturing systems by acquiring a majority stake in the mobile transport specialist WFT from Sulzbach-Rosenberg. pb
