“Driven by a commitment to innovation and the production of top-tier automotive components, a prominent local aftermarket high-performance auto parts manufacturer recently partnered with Industrial Automation Solution. Their objective: to engineer and implement a sophisticated urethane and oil spraying rotary table system. This custom-designed automated solution is specifically intended to streamline and enhance the manufacturing process for their high-performance automobile air filters, promising increased efficiency, improved product consistency, and ultimately, a superior filtration product for discerning automotive enthusiasts.”
The robotic urethane pouring system has the following components:
Mitsubishi FX5U PLC
Mitsubishi GT2510 User Interface
Mitsubishi 3KW Servo Amplifier and Servo Motor
(2) UR10 Universal Robots (Cobots)
The User Interface allows the operator to select from thousands of mold patterns and associate the mold pattern to a station number. It also allows the operator to select the dwell time, number of cycles and the option to eject the part from the mold. The mold data is held on a SD card located in the user interface. It can be updated from a local PC located on the network.
