Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of fixing two planar parts one on the other, utilisi ⁇ sand for example to achieve hoods of motor vehicles.
- a hood of a motor vehicle comprises a dou ⁇ ble on which is crimped a skin.
- the crimping is done in a station that includes a crimping robot, a support for parts and a robot parts loader on the support.
- the method of implementing this station comprises the step of controlling the loader robot so that it successively arranges the skin and the lining on the support which is equipped with clamping means to apply the doubling against the skin.
- the crimping robot is then controlled to crimp the lining on the skin by folding a peripheral edge of the skin on a peripheral edge of the liner.
- the clamping means generally comprise arms having an end secured to the support and an opposite end opposite provided with a pressure means on the liner. These arms extend cantilever above the peripheral edge of the cover and may be an inconvenience for the crimping robot.
- the invention is intended to provide a means for simplifying the maintenance of parts to be fixed in a fastening station.
- a method of fixing at least two parts to one another in a station comprising at least one assembly robot, a support for parts and a robot loader of parts on the support, the method comprising the steps of:
- the loader robot thus ensures the loading of the parts and the pressurization of the latter against the support. It is therefore no longer necessary to provide on the support holding means or clamping and the robot loader can be programmed to find, when maintaining the parts on the support, in a position such that it does not interfere not the movements of the attachment robot.
- the fixing station is to receive parts of several types
- the holding means of the prior art had to be rearranged to match the sizing of the parts or the shape thereof.
- programming the loader robot does not require significant changes and it is possible to switch from the program corresponding to a type of parts to a program corresponding to another type of parts quickly and easily .
- the loader robot is controlled to ensure the positioning of the parts on the support.
- the loader robot then has a third function which consists in positioning the two parts on the support.
- the exploitation rate of the loader robot is then increased.
- the station comprises a plurality of mobile supports between a position outside the station and a position in the station, the method comprising the prior step of selecting the support to be brought into the station.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a station according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 2 is a schematic top view of a station according to a second embodiment of the invention.
- the workstation is here a welding station comprising a support 1, a welding robot 2 and a robot gripper 3 arranged to load and unload parts 4, 5 on the support 1.
- the support 1, the welding robot 2 and the robot gripper 3 are known per se.
- the fixing method according to the first embodiment of the invention starts with the step of controlling the robot gripper 3 so that it loads the parts 4 and 5, flat, on the support 1.
- the parts 4 and 5 are here pre-assembled by a frame 6 which ensures both the maintenance of the parts together and the relative positioning thereof one above the other.
- the gripper robot 3 grasps the frame 6 and arranges the assembly on the support 1.
- the gripper robot 3 positions said assembly on the support 1 and presses, via the frame 6, the parts 4, 5 on the support 1.
- the gripper robot 3 thus ensures the positioning and the maintenance of parts 4, 5 on the support 1.
- the welding robot 2 is then controlled to weld the parts one on the other.
- the robot gripper 3 is controlled to evacuate the parts of the support 1.
- the station is intended to receive several types of hood each consisting of a skin and a lining.
- the station comprises four movable supports 10, 11, 12, 13, according to concurrent directions in a central zone, three crimping robots 14 located around this central zone and a gripping robot 15 located in the vicinity of the central zone.
- Each support 10, 11, 12, 13 is movable between an active position located in the central zone and an inactive position located outside the central zone. The active position is common to all media.
- Each support 10, 11, 12, 13 is arranged to support a tonnage of ⁇ natriçage having characteristics specific to a type of hood.
- the supports 10, 11, 12, 13, the crimping robots 14 and the gripping robot 15 are known per se.
- the crimping process begins with the step of selecting the support 10, 11, 12, 13 suitable for the next pieces to crimp (the support 10 in Figure 2).
- the selected medium is then controlled to come into the active position.
- the gripping robot 15 is then controlled to dispose the skin on the corresponding crimping pile and then to arrange the lining on the skin and maintain the lining applied against the skin.
- the gripping robot 15 does not provide the positioning that is achieved by the crimping pile.
- the liner and the skin may be pre-married and held together by means of a holding frame that is manipulated by the gripper robot 15 to engage the whole skin / lining on the support.
- the crimping robots 14 are then controlled to fold the peripheral edge of the skin on the peripheral edge of the liner.
- the gripper 15 unloads the cover of the support 10.
- the gripper robot loads and unloads the support (which saves time on the unloading operation since at the end of the work the gripper robot is already in position, ready to unload the parts), it is possible to use a gripper only charger and associated with a robot unloader.
- the gripper robot can simply immobilize the parts that rest on the support without exerting pressure on them.
