Materialhantering till och från robot

Sammanfattning: Material handling is a term that includes all kinds of handling of material from a raw product to a finished one. ABB is active in the following segments; foundry, packaging and palletizing, metal industry and plastics industry. The demands for efficiency and reliability have been set very high in the industrial sector. Optimizing of the material handling will give the company higher cost-effectiveness. Around the robot there are different kinds of material flows, to optimize the cycle time, consisting of carriages combined in different ways. Motion Control is a complex system with main functions such as; positioning, synchronizing, indexing and more. The products in the system need to cooperate to make these functions possible therefore integration of motor- and servo products are important. In an automated system there is a demand for continuous update of motor reference such as speed and torque. There is also a need for correction when material slips away and position itself at unwanted places at the transport carriage. ABB Motors and Drives product portfolio consists of drives such as; Motiflex, Microflex and ACSM1 and the motors such as BSM (Brushless Servo Motor). The new simplified solution for the material handling will consist of integration of motors and drives products. The new simplified solutions have been sketched on paper first and then later illustrated in Google SketchUp. The SketchUp drawings consist of one overview drawing with a layer for drive and a layer for security. The layer for drive is divided into three parts for easier identification of the products and a more perspicuous view. A presentation has been prepared with the idea to look like an App. The mouse is used to navigate back and forth through the factory/presentation. The presentation can be used for the following activities; fairs, new employee, sales person and clients. Therefore also USP, Unique Selling Points has been prepared.
