Front Axle Plate Cell

Over the past several months, our dedicated team has been working diligently to build the Front Axle Plate Cell. The project was a great success, and everyone at TOA-SE is thrilled with the results!

The cell features:

• Four Yaskawa Robots

• Robot 1 - Material Handler on RTU Axis with a Schunk Magnetic Gripper

• Robot 2 - Material Handler with a Schunk Pneumatic Gripper

• Two Weld Robots

• Keyence LJ-X8000 Series 3D Laser Profiler

• Combines the images of two separate heads to create one seamless image

• Gauges several quality control features of the part

• No part fixturing required for welding

• LJ-X800 Profiler used to compare production parts picked from loosely located totes against a pre-taught Master part.

• Flat plate part locating in Weld fixture by Robot 1, accurate to less than 0.5mm using measurement data from Profiler.

• High accuracy required—Robot 2 places a round part into a round hole on the flat plate.

• Weld Robots included Headstock/Tailstock positioners.
