Solution
The customer received a solution that met all the assumptions specified in the request for quotation. Two robots have been installed on the line: a belt conveyor that transports the panes inside the station, and a new turntable.
Main description
Operator mounts two panes on a pallet. These pallets are mounted on a belt conveyor. Operator, confirming the loading, starts the station's automatic cycle and the conveyor transports the lamps toward the robot. The robot first retrieves both lamps from the conveyor and puts them in dedicated places on the turntable. Lamps prepared in this way are transferred to the paint station. After the painting process, a second robot picks up the lamps and deposits them in an oven, where a several-minute heating process takes place. The finished product is picked up by the operator and packed into special containers.
