One 7-axis KUKA (KR 16) robot is provided with a double pneumatic SMC gripper and it picks elements (elements of the working part of a pavement combined machine) from a table and applies them to the cutting head of the cutting element. The second KUKA KR 6 arc robot is provided with a burner of a welding system made by FRONIUS, including an anti-collision module.
The robot simulates welding of an element applied to the head by the KR 16 robot. The entire process is supervised by a SIEMENS S7-1200 controller installed in an additional control cabinet, equipped with a monochromatic HMI 5.7” panel.
