Robotic station for nailing bed frames
The area occupied by the entire robot station is approximately 52 m22
including two operator safe work zones
– arranging elements for assembly
– control of receipt and refilling of staple loading station magazines
The station is equipped with two work trolleys on which interchangeable molds are mounted.
The trolleys provide two working positions in which nailing takes place (from the 0 and 450 plane).
Nailing line spacing 2100 mm
The product elements are placed in the molds manually.
After arranging the elements, the operator activates the pneumatic clamps and presses the start button of the nailing cycle.
Different forms can be mounted on both trolleys.
The robot automatically recognizes the form and its settings and performs the appropriate work cycle.
There is no need to select a program on the control panel screen.
The currently installed staplers enable inserting two types of staples (carpentry and upholstery) in 5 planes (top and 4 sides).
BeA Autotec modular staplers with handles and a drive were used
K92_25-40 series 246 + staple loading station
K380_10-16 series 236 + staple loading station
Station power supply:
Two electrical connections 400V, 50Hz
Robot control 7.5 kW
Station (PLC + drives) 1.5 kW
Compressed air supply with a pressure of max. 8 bar.
Product dimensions for the current configuration:
Length: 1600 – 2100 mm
Width: 700 – 1000 mm
Height: 50 – 230 mm
Other product dimensions upon request.
The nailing time depends on the complexity of the form.
Station cycle time 20 sec. + nailing time (the fewer staples to be inserted, the faster).
The time of nailing the frame using 80 pieces of 92/40 type staples, driven at a length of 8280 mm, is 43 seconds. In this case, the robot reloads the staples after the next three products have been stapled.
Recharging two staple packages takes approximately 12 seconds. and takes place while one trolley with the mold leaves and the other enters the nailing field, thus it does not extend the assembly time.
Automatic pickup:
When the frame is on the receiving table, a signal is received from the user's system informing whether there is free space on the receiving line. If it is possible to return the frame at the user's line, the receiving table drive pushes the product to the further product transport line.
