摘要

Robotics is often viewed as a complex high-tech area that can be applied to improve productivity but only at a high cost to the organization. Contrary to this frame of mind, robotic applications can be implemented by average-sized organizations at a relatively low cost with low complexity. As part of the senior design project activities at Lake Superior State University, an automotive parts supplier submitted a project involving the redesign of a manual machine tending process. The company, which manufactures tie rods, has a process where an operator tediously loads and unloads tie rods to and from two machines in a dirty and dangerous environment. A flexible system to automate the machine loading process was considered and will be proposed. The flexible automated system will include a parts feeder for orienting the tie rods into a single position and a robot for picking and placing the tie rods into the machines. The end-of-arm tooling for the robot and the parts feeder will be designed to handle different varieties of tie rods. The automated system flexibility will allow the robot, which will be mounted on a track, to be conveniently re-positioned away from the machines when needed. By doing so, the machines can be run in the manual mode for unusual tie rod part varieties using an operator to tend the machines. In addition to presenting an uncomplicated robotics solution to the problem, this paper will show that by incorporating the proposed automation ideas, the hardware costs to implement the flexible robotics system will be under $100,000. This is a relatively low cost for an average-sized company, considering automation.
