Workstation system
Ergonomic solutions for manual assembly
At Motek in Stuttgart from October 7 to 10, 2019, Bott will be showcasing pioneering ways to efficiently design manufacturing processes with the Avero workstation system. Examples of a manual assembly line and individual workstations will be on display at the stand.
The Avero workstation system offers ergonomic solutions for manual assembly. Thanks to its modular design, it can be flexibly adapted to changes in the production process. From individual workstations to complete production lines, supplemented with assistance systems if required.
Together with its cooperation partners Armbruster Engineering and Isarcad, Bott is presenting new possibilities for manual assembly at Motek: a mobile, collaborative robot at the Avero workstation is controlled via the ELAM system from Armbruster Engineering. It performs visual quality control of the assembled workpiece at a stop and release point during the ongoing process. The ELAM system automatically releases correctly assembled products. Defective parts are displayed to the employee so that they can eject them for further inspection.
The Avero assembly systems at Motek feature screens for visualizing assembly instructions and pick-by-light systems for picking parts. How these tools can be used to ensure consistently high product quality will be demonstrated at the stand.
The customized workpiece carrier from Isarcad is the central element in production. It ensures the optimum material flow in the line by connecting the individual work steps. Bott is focusing in particular on the workpiece carrier cycle in the line. At the trade fair, the company will be demonstrating several options for returning the workpiece carriers to the start of the line once assembly is complete.
The workstation system ensures that employees can work efficiently in an ergonomically favorable posture and stay healthy. The working height and shelves at the Avero workstation can be adjusted as required without tools. The depth of the roller conveyor, which is adapted to the manual work steps, facilitates a healthy posture without the employee having to lean too far forward. The lighting can be dimmed at all individual workstations, so that concentrated work is easy on the eyes. Even the color temperature can be regulated. In this way, the field of vision is illuminated clearly and with high contrast.
As part of the "Modern Assembly" lecture series at Motek, Manuel Rösinger, Head of Workstation Systems at Bott, will explain how Avero contributes to operational efficiency.
