With the use of the "Dummy Tools" method, collaborative robots will perform the heaviest welding activities, thus preventing welding workers from exposing themselves to unnecessary risks, increasing aluminium capacity production and quality, as well as reducing delivery time.
Industrial robot programming system based on a haptic system. Using a simulated tool, which was printed and has 6DoF sensors, the system is capable to record the trajectories made by the operator using a 6 Degrees of freedom point capture system (based on cameras), then the software will compile and optimise that trajectory. With this generated trajectory the system elaborates the robot programs and executes it in the robot cell. SHARKSILVER is a Spanish SME which its main activity is focused in the manufacturing of medium size aluminium boats. They are doing the whole process in a manual way, from the preassembly to the final welding stages. For the welding process, they are using GMAW that generates a lot of quantities of high intensity lights and dangerous fumes that endanger the health of the workers. The main challenge of the project is to reduce the time exposure for the workers to the main risks and increase the production capacity of SHARKSILVER. Also, other challenges are waste generation reduction and reduce the time to market. The new solution facilitates programming to be achievable in time and without skilled workforce resources, independently of the design complexity of the highly customised solutions. Free design applied to leisure and rescue boats allow to optimise their tare weight to the minimum necessary, increasing the payload and making transportation movements more profitable and sustainable. Thanks to this new solution SHARKSILVER is capable to reduce the time exposure for the works to the main risks.
