Lights-Out 3D Printing

Achieve Lights-Out Production with Athena Athena 3D is a leading additive manufacturing service bureau located in Tempe, AZ, that prints parts on demand. As a technology-based service bureau, Athena runs multiple 3D printers at the same time to achieve higher production volumes to keep up with increasing customer orders. Before automating, printers often completed jobs in the middle of the night, which means the machines sat idle until the next morning when an operator changed out the print bed to start the next job. Having as many as 16 printers to manually change over before starting another job is exponentially more time-consuming, impacting machine utilization and production deadlines. With those challenges in mind, Athena reached out to Delta Technology, a FANUC Authorized System Integrator. Delta specializes in developing automation solutions for a wide range of industries. After evaluating the process together, Delta developed a turnkey system that features a FANUC CRX-10iA cobot to keep production running 24/7. How the System Works Printers run according to programmed specifications, and as jobs are completed (many times at 3:00 AM), the cobot removes the print bed, sets it on a storage rack, and places a clean print bed back into the printer. The Application Programming Interface (API) then communicates to the printer to start the next job. The FANUC CRX cobot is equipped with Markforged Onyx end-effectors to handle the parts - some are reinforced with Kevlar for added rigidity. Flexibility is a key advantage of the CRX cobot. This means that when Athena scales production by adding more printers or if a new printer is introduced to the market, it’s easy to modify the cobot’s end-effector to adapt quickly.

Successful Robotic Solution for Oil Drilling Risers

Robots Improve Efficiency and Worker Safety on Transocean Oil Rigs Transocean, a leading offshore drilling contractor, has rig operations located in harsh environment and ultra-deep water locations across the globe. In the offshore world, Transocean was challenged to improve their operator’s drilling performance. More importantly, they needed to create a safer environment for employees working in potentially dangerous red zone areas of the rig. Transocean decided to partner with FANUC’s Authorized System Integrator ARC Specialties to design an automated solution to handle the drilling riser connections, which was the most labor-intensive operation. Before automation, this hazardous job required team members to carry heavy bolts and use brute force to manipulate torque wrenches for each bolt on the riser. The Robotic Solution ARC Specialties worked to overcome several challenges that can impact operations on an oil rig located in the ocean - including wind, rain and waves - not to mention inconsistent parts affected by harsh conditions. These circumstances are much different than most factory operations where the equipment is typically stationary and bolted to the floor. ARC Specialties had no reservations regarding the reliability of FANUC’s robots but knew that the system would require the latest adaptive control software. This would allow the robot to work consistently in a dynamic environment including the constantly changing motion of the vessel and the riser. The system uses two FANUC M-900iB/280 FoundryPro robots with enhanced rigidity for applications requiring ultimate precision and the ability to work in harsh environments. The robots are also equipped with FANUC Soft Float software and a custom torque tool which allows them to react to variances in workpiece precision and the extremely heavy torque load. In addition, iRVision® enables the robots to “see” the position of the bolts. Goals Met! This is the first system of its kind and has proven a huge success! It has improved efficiency by moving Transocean’s skilled workers out of the dangerous red zone to other areas of the rig where they can perform different tasks. Another key benefit is achieving higher levels of consistency with robotic automation without the concern for human safety.

Get it Done with Robotic Wheel Palletizing and Packaging

FANUC America’s Authorized System Integrator Hyperion Automation recently provided a wheel manufacturer a multi-faceted automation solution to help them overcome a variety of complex palletizing and packaging challenges. The cell’s design maximizes manufacturing floor space and enables operators, fork trucks, materials and machinery (in particular the FANUC R-2000iC/165F robots and conveyors) to work together to handle all sizes and dunnage of wheels and pallets without interruption. Conveyors take newly finished wheels from the production lines to the packaging cell, feeding wheels into a palletizing line. As wheels pass through the initial conveyor, a vision system scans the wheels to verify size and type, ensuring consistency and correct packaging materials. A second vision system guides the robots, identifying divider types as they convey into the cell. The vision system then scans the entire pallet to verify the correct dunnage type for the wheels being loaded. Vision also captures positional data on X, Y, Z and angular offsets to successfully pick and place the wheels - all while preventing incorrect dividers or bases from getting mixed in. To prevent scratches and other damage, a polyfoam sheet is placed between the rows of wheels. The new system includes a polyfoam sheeter that automatically cuts the material to length on-demand vs. the previous method that required pre-cut sheets and a person to place them between the rows. The new automated “on-demand” method helps the company save costs and reduce labor requirements. In the final step of the process, the pallet is conveyed out of the cell and into an automated bander system. Previously, the banding machine required an operator to line up the pallet and then push a button to band it, but the new fully automated machine now completes the work. In this system, the robots are used to gently pick and move wheels of every size and weight, helping the customer save on labor in an already tight labor market, and eliminate the physical strain of lifting wheels.

Get it Done with Autonomous Mobile Robots

FANUC’s Authorized System Integrators Palladium Control Systems and Polytec USA Corp. have teamed up and commissioned a robotic material handling application using a FANUC M-20iB/35S robot mounted to an Automatic Mobile Robot (AMR). Their first project (Phase 1) is an Automatic Tool Management demonstration to prove the concept that a standard industrial robot mounted to an AMR can accurately and safely tend a CNC machine. The M-20iB/35S robot, equipped with FANUC’s iRVision 3DV vision sensor and a FANUC Force Sensor was selected due to its 35kg payload capabilities and small footprint. This compact and lightweight robot is extremely versatile and can perform difficult tasks with high precision. The AMR/Robot solution provides several benefits when compared to using linear rails including: The robot and AMR’s compact size and flexibility to maneuver to areas where linear rails would not be feasible, including around machines. Higher speed operation, reducing cycle time. Safety for this collaborative application using a standard industrial robot is maintained by using safety area scanners that provide 360 degrees of coverage for the AMR while it is in motion and a fenceless safety system for the robot. Robot’s small footprint to navigate narrow corridors and ability to lift up to 35kg payloads. FANUC’s 3D Vision system maintains the accuracy of the robot by correcting any displacement of the AMR. AMR’s battery life capacity can run a full 8-hour shift without recharging. The robot may be easily repurposed to take on new applications including multiple machining processes and vision-guided part inspection. No need to purchase costly parts associated with linear rails. In the future, Phase 2 will expand to a larger tool rack, monitor inventory and tracking of the tools.

Get it Done with Robotic Palletizer and Case Transfer

Wolverine Packing, Co., is a multi-faceted protein company located in Detroit, Michigan. When Wolverine expanded its operations at a new greenfield facility, they wanted to include state-of-the-art technologies for meat processing, packaging, freezer storage, and distribution. Wolverine decided to partner with FANUC’s Authorized System Integrator AMT to help them develop and execute a solution to meet their needs to increase efficiency and productivity while maintaining and enhancing quality and safety. Solution: AMT worked with Wolverine to design and implement a case transfer conveyor and a robotic palletizer system capable of handling operator-packed cases of meat that is palletized for freezer storage. They were able to overcome challenges associated with concurrent construction and a refrigerated environment. The solution handles multiple case styles, line rates, and workflows while incorporating case conveyors, case tapers, weight checkers, x-rays, bar code scanners, robots, end of arm tooling (EOAT), pallet conveyor, a pallet dispenser, slip sheet dispensers, and a pallet wrapper. The system includes three robotic palletizing cells featuring FANUC M-410iC robots along with Allen-Bradley controls. Each cell can process three SKUs at a time, with no changeover required between SKU batches. Following this successful implementation, AMT worked with Wolverine to automate two other facilities.
