Automation Systems Integrator

In Alnea, we design, build and implement robots, production lines, assembly lines, robotic stations. As an integrator of automation systems, we create non-standard solutions – EOL testers, prototype machines for automotive, electronics, construction, furniture. We implement Industry 4.0 in companies.

 

 

 

VR visualization

VR visualization helps us design the solution down to the smallest detail from the planning stage. We create virtual factories, digitize processes or build a digital twin.

 

Production lines

Our largest production lines were created for automotive. Stations connected by one process are used to produce valves that you have in the seats of your cars if you drive a Volvo or Audi.

 

 

Assembly lines

Assembly lines were ordered from us by companies producing lighting. 4 different automatic lines, semi-automatic and robotic, are used for the assembly of street lighting lamps. We adapt our lines to flexible production. Special positioners adapted to different dimensions of lamps allow for quick changeover.

 

EOL Testers

Testers are an important part of production. First of all, they increase the efficiency of the production line, but also save components, energy and time. As a system integrator, we have prepared, built test benches based on leak testers at the level of helium atoms. Our latest testers improve the work of installers in the production of fiber optic connectors.

 

We build machines

Yes, we build machines and custom solutions.   Our potting buffer takes over the resin-flooded diecasts, directs them to the right place on one of 4 different transport lanes. The resin solidifies in 24 hours, and after this time the finished elements can be picked up from the warehouse. We know that production is variable so we left room for 2 additional belts that can be expanded with the machine.

 

 

Robotic stations

We adapt our robotic workstations to the needs of our customers. 3 such station solder and assembly  TV tuners in the Czech Republic. And another robotic station gutter riveting hooks for a leading Polish roof manufacturer.

 

Industrial robots

We have been integrating industrial robots for more than 10 years.  We have already implemented KUKA, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Yanome robots,  as well as mobile robots and Unoversal Robots cobots. A robot is just a machine that needs the right tools and optimal processes. That’s why we’ve created tools for robots:

– for soldering,

– Horus vision system,

Together with Schmalz , we have developed a Horus furniture packaging system and a special gripper that allows for flexible processes.

We have already integrated 72 robots and have experience in robot tooling!

 

Industry 4.0

The idea of Industry 4.0 requires many educational, popularizing and promotional activities. We created two demonstrators of  the industry of the future, and also conducted 3 rounds of training for managers. We implement Industry 4.0 and, as a system integrator, share our knowledge with others.

Robotized assembly line for satellite TV tuners

Robotized assembly line for D – profiler frames or die cast housings with PCBs with use of an automatic screwdriver and solder elements in place with use of Alnea’s Zeus Soldering Set and Horus Vision System 3d Positioning For Robot .
Elements’ transport inside and between line’s stations, screwing and soldering processes are executed by three 6 – axis robots. Line is equipped with Balluff safety systems and a safety cages, preventing interference of outside conditions or a third party.
.

Suited for client

The line is equipped with two types of dedicated box magazines. Both types have adjustable width and depth to accommodate various components.
Robot picks die cast from the box magazine and moves it under thermal paste dispenser to put the paste on the designated spots.

Three robots – complex assemblye

VEKL0005 line consists of two stations:
1) storage and preparation of components equipped with robot KUKA KR6 R900-2
2) screwing (KUKA KR6 R700-2) and soldering station (KUKA KR3 R540)
Die cast housing or D-profiler frame assembled with PCB in station 1 is placed on one of two fixtures integrated with linear drives by Station’s 2 manipulation robot. Elements are held in place by a set of pneumatic actuators during screwing process.
Die cast is moved into screwing position where PCB is screwed to the Die cast housing with an automatic screwdriver integrated with 6 – axis robot. The robot picks screws from an automatic feeder.


.

Collaboration of robots

After screwing process is finished, elements are moved into soldering position where connectors’ pins are soldered to the PCB. Soldering process is executed by station’s second 6-axis robot integrated with Zeus soldering equipment.
Zeus’ controller through which the soldering process can be adjusted is located in a cabinet on the front side of station’s A safety cage.

Alea Vision System - Eye for the robot

Finished product is removed from the fixture and placed in a box magazine on the storage rack in station 2 by the manipulation robot.
Components are handled by a robot equipped with a set of Festo grippers and Horus vision system.
Station’s robot scans the rack with Horus vision system to verify proper placement of box magazines and components inside them.

What does operator?

Operator’s task is to monitor the process with use of the HMI panel, refill screws through dedicated chute and place box magazines with components in proper spots on storage rack, monitor handling of components by the robot and remove box magazines with finished and NOK products.

What we can do for you?

What we can do for you? We can design and build production or assembly line. Alnea products guarantee innovative solutions and high precision of manufacturing with use of highest quality, repeatedly tested materials.

We will prepare for you an automatic, semi-automatic, robotic production line. Ask us about Horus Vision System!

Robotized assembly station within production line

A very important project in the history  of Alnea was the project of building a production line for the valves for the ventilation system of car seats. One of the most interesting points of the automated line was station 1, which was designed for four KUKA robots working with a rotating production wheel, where the process was kept up, that is, without stopping the wheel. This solution reduced production time by 40%. An additional benefit was the use of 4 instead of the 5 robots required by the Customer, which resulted in a lower station cost.
Another station presents the cutting process, which thanks to the use of a variable geometry stamp reduced the noise level by about 20 DB, which was one of the key requirements on the part of the customer.

 

Soldering robot

The next process on the line is a soldering process based on our solution – ZEUS. The process ends with a video inspection.

At the next station you can see the process of plasmaming or preparing the surface for the application of glue. Note that the second tool on the robot is a dispenser that precisely applies glue.

 

 

The workpiece then passes to the piston (these are components such as springs and rubber bands with a diameter of 3 mm). A robot equipped with 3 tools is responsible for the process of cutting and assembling components with each other and in the next step passes the detail for the second robot, which measures the resistance and after the process is completed, transfers the detail for further production.

 

Plasma station

A cover is mounted on the next station, which is delivered via a vibrating feeder. After the installation of the upper bodywork is completed, the part is transported again to the plasma-adhesive station. In this process, the upper body and the bottom body are connected with glue. According to the customer’s requirements, the adhesive can not be lowered into the lower body, which is why in the next production phase a UV lamp was used, which within 4 seconds hardens the applied layer of glue.

A very interesting and complicated station in this production string was a leak and flow testing station. The tests were carried out using atmospheric air and helium. I would add as a curiosity that helium leak testing was at the level of collecting individual atoms, that is, at an almost laboratory level (in the production cycle of 12 seconds). The measurement results were developed in a dedicated LabView-based application. After the tests have been completed, the detail goes to the last station, where the product marking process (OK/NOK) takes place and is armed with a so-called dumper and handed over to the operator as a ready-made valve for installation or integration into valve blocks.

Summing up 14 robots, 3 shifts, 7 days a week, a minimum of 300 products per hour, quality assurance thanks to 10 video inspection points.
