Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for operating a workstation, in which at least one processing robot and a rotatable frame are provided, wherein on different sides of the frame brackets are provided for each at least one workpiece, wherein the frame with the brackets and the workpieces attached thereto between at least two workstations is rotatable, and wherein one workstation is a loading station and another workstation is a work unloading station.
- Such rotatable racks serve in the prior art to allow loading of the workpiece holder from one side and a workstation, then to rotate the frame with the workpiece just attached to it and to machine away from the worker automatically. Subsequently, the workpiece in the unloading station, in which it was also processed, removed again.
- Another method of operating such a workstation, where the workpiece is machined with robots is to mount the robot on the frame and to rotate with it. During rotation, the robot can machine the workpiece.
- the object of the invention is to allow for certain workpieces and in certain situations even lower cycle times and above all to provide an additional method which ensures an optimized workflow for certain workpieces.
- the inventive method provides for this the following steps: a) one of the workpieces is fastened in the loading station by means of a holder on one side of the frame on the frame, b) a machining robot still processes the workpiece in the loading station, and c) the frame is rotated so that the workpiece is moved into the unloading station, and the workpiece is removed from the holder in the unloading station.
- the method according to the invention uses time, which arises due to overlong processes in the unloading station, for the fact that the workpiece is already being processed in the loading station.
- These overlong processes in the unloading station can be, for example, handling processes, set-up processes or the like.
- the workpiece is processed only with a fixed frame, that is not during rotation of the frame.
- the at least one processing robot can process the workpiece in the loading station after loading, immediately after an operator working in the loading station has left a safety area. Preferably, it is automatically detected when the operator has left this security area. This can be done by detection systems or by a safety fence, which must be left first and must be closed again before the processing robot starts. This processing in the loading station can preferably also take place when an operator is still working in the unloading station.
- the processing robot can be mounted on the frame and rotated when turning the frame with.
- another or the processing robot may be positioned adjacent the rack, such that it can process the workpiece in the loading station.
- At least one processing robot can also be positioned so that it can process the workpiece mounted on the rack both in the loading station and in the unloading station.
- This is independent of whether the processing robot is mounted on the frame and is rotated with, or whether he sits on the side of or above the frame.
- the processing robot is fixed to the ground, that is, is not rotated.
- the method according to the invention can provide an additional operating mode in which a tool provided there is exchanged in the unloading station or a teaching of a processing or handling robot is made. During this operating mode, the workpiece is processed in the loading station and also removed there.
- the inventive method is even more flexible.
- a variant of the method according to the invention provides that the processing of the workpiece is performed by the processing robot exclusively in the loading station.
- the loading or, if the aforementioned additional operating mode is turned on, the unloading can be done manually, alternatively automated.
- the frame should be symmetrical with respect to the axis of rotation in plan view, so that the clocking leads to no asymmetry of the frame in the workstations.
- FIG. 1 shows a schematic representation of a workstation for carrying out the method according to the invention in a first work step
- FIG. 2 shows the workstation from FIG. 1 in a second work step
- FIG. 3 shows the workstation according to FIG. 1 in an additional operating mode.
- the figures show a work station 10 in a factory for welding exhaust systems, with a frame 12 to which two processing robots 14 are fixed in this example.
- the frame 12 is a turntable which is arranged rotatable about an axis A.
- Each of the two processing robots 14 can move in different positions, regardless of the movement of the frame 12. However, both processing robots 14 are rotated when the frame 12 is rotated. Alternatively or additionally, machining robots may also be fastened outside the frame on the floor or above the frame 12.
- the frame has two opposite sides 16A, 16B.
- two opposing workstations are provided, namely a loading station 18A and an unloading station 18B opposite the rack 12.
- the workstation is designed, for example, in a workshop.
- exhaust systems are welded from a plurality of individual parts.
- the processing can only take place in the loading station 18A, in particular if it is still being unloaded in the unloading station 18B or if, for example, a handling robot 28 is being equipped with other tools or is being taught. Moreover, it is possible that first processing steps are carried out in the processing station 18A on the workpiece 22 and after rotating the frame 12, a further processing of this workpiece 22 in the unloading station 18B takes place.
- the two stations 18A and 18B are arranged opposite one another in the present example. But it would also be possible to choose a different arrangement or provide more than two workstations.
- the processing of the workpiece or work 22 takes place at standstill of the frame 12.
- the processing station 18A is thus not only provided for loading the frame with workpieces 22, but also for editing.
- the frame is pivoted through 180 ° (see Fig. 2).
- the workpiece 22 is either reworked or removed by means of the handling robot 28 from the station.
- the unloading station 18B can thus be used only for unloading, but can also additionally enable reworking of the workpiece 22 which has been pre-machined in the loading station 18A.
- Figure 3 shows an additional mode of operation which is turned on when the unloading station 18B can not be used for unloading for an extended period of time, for example in the case of long-term tool changes or teaching operations.
- a worker 20 has entered the area of the unloading station 18B.
- one or both processing robots 14 can be provided with new tools, or the tools can be cleaned, for example.
- one of the processing robot 14, which is not equipped with another workpiece at this time or whose tool is cleaned perform the machining of the workpiece 22 in the loading station 18A.
- the handling robot 28 While being teached or equipped with another tool or working, the workpiece 22 can be processed in the loading station 28A in order to save time.
- loading, machining and unloading are done exclusively in the loading station 18A to reduce production downtime.
- the frame 12 is symmetrical with respect to the axis of rotation in plan view, so that it does not matter which position the table occupies. It can be clocked in this case by 180 °.
