Robot gluing workstation is a device used for industrial automation production, mainly for precise gluing on the surface of workpieces. This type of workstation typically consists of multiple key components to ensure the efficiency, precision, and consistency of the gluing process. The following are the main equipment and functions of the robot glue workstation:
1. Industrial robots
Function: As the core of the glue workstation, responsible for executing precise movements of the glue path.
• Type: Commonly used industrial robots include six axis articulated robots, SCARA robots, etc.
• Features: It has high precision, high repeatability positioning accuracy, and strong flexibility.
Function: Used to evenly apply glue on the surface of the workpiece.
• Type: including pneumatic glue gun, electric glue gun, etc.
• Features: Able to adjust flow and pressure according to different types of glue and coating requirements.
3. Adhesive supply system
Function: Provide a stable glue flow for the glue gun.
Type: including pneumatic adhesive supply system, pump adhesive supply system, etc.
• Features: Can ensure continuous supply of glue while maintaining stable pressure of the glue.
4. Control system
Function: Control the motion trajectory and glue application process of industrial robots.
• Type: including PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), dedicated glue coating control system, etc.
• Features: Able to achieve precise path planning and real-time monitoring.
5. Workpiece conveying system
Function: Transport the workpiece to the gluing area and remove it after gluing is completed.
• Type: including conveyor belt, drum conveyor line, etc.
• Features: Able to ensure smooth conveying and accurate positioning of workpieces.
6. Visual inspection system (optional)
• Function: Used to detect the position of the workpiece and the adhesive effect.
• Types: including CCD cameras, 3D scanners, etc.
• Features: Able to achieve precise identification of workpieces and monitoring of adhesive quality.
7. Temperature and humidity control system (optional)
Function: Maintain the temperature and humidity conditions of the adhesive environment.
• Type: including air conditioning system, humidifier, etc.
• Features: It can ensure that the curing effect of the glue is not affected by the environment.
working principle
The working principle of the robot gluing workstation is as follows:
1. Workpiece preparation: The workpiece is placed on the workpiece conveyor system and transported to the gluing area through the conveyor line.
2. Workpiece positioning: If equipped with a visual inspection system, it will recognize and correct the position of the workpiece to ensure that it is in the correct position when applying glue.
3. Path planning: The control system generates motion commands for the robot based on the preset glue application path.
4. Glue application begins: The industrial robot moves along the predetermined path and drives the glue gun to apply glue to the workpiece.
5. Glue supply: The glue supply system provides an appropriate amount of glue to the glue gun according to its demand.
6. Glue application process: The glue gun adjusts the flow rate and pressure of the glue according to the trajectory and speed of the robot's movement, ensuring that the glue is evenly applied to the surface of the workpiece.
7. Glue coating end: After the glue coating is completed, the robot returns to its initial position and the workpiece is moved away by the conveyor system.
8. Quality inspection (optional): If equipped with a visual inspection system, the glued workpiece will undergo quality inspection to ensure that the glued quality meets the standards.
9. Loop operation: After completing the gluing of one workpiece, the system will continue to process the next workpiece, achieving continuous operation.
summary
The robot gluing workstation achieves automation, precision, and efficiency in the gluing process through the cooperation of industrial robots, glue guns, glue supply systems, control systems, workpiece conveying systems, optional visual inspection systems, and temperature and humidity control systems. This workstation is widely used in industries such as automotive manufacturing, electronic assembly, and packaging, improving production efficiency and product quality.
