Cable handling
ArtiMinds Robotics presents cable handling application at the HMI
ArtiMinds Robotics will be exhibiting in the Application Park at the Hannover Messe from April 22 to 26. As a leading provider of software solutions and engineering services for sensor-based robot automation, ArtiMinds will be presenting an innovative cable handling application for precise wire harness assembly at its stand B28-11.
The robot-assisted solution demonstrates the detection, gripping and joining of free-hanging, flexible parts such as wires and cables. The solution approach developed by ArtiMinds for this complex 2.5D application is based on a combination of laser line scanners, 2D camera technology and force-torque measurement as well as newly developed interfaces and intelligent function modules in the ArtiMinds Robot Programming Suite (RPS). The software processes the scan result in real time and synchronizes it with the robot movement to determine the exact pick-up point. It then performs a force-controlled joining operation that enables the cable ends to be inserted precisely and securely into the connector housing.
Versatile application: Manufacturer-independent programming software
The demonstration illustrates the versatile application possibilities of the manufacturer-independent programming software ArtiMinds RPS, which enables the simple creation of highly adaptive and sophisticated robot programs. As the software generates native robot code, the programs can be executed directly on the standard controller of the industrial robot used, without additional hardware.
Robot-supported automation
"This year, we deliberately decided to participate in the Application Park at the Hannover Messe in order to underline our expertise in the field of advanced robotics and, in particular, in flexible cable and connector assembly," says Dr. Sven Schmidt-Rohr, Managing Director of ArtiMinds Robotics. "The application presented is an impressive example of the versatility of our software products and how we can use them to automate complex production processes with robotic support and open up new areas of application for robots."
