Automotive Manufacturing – Realize Seamless Switching of Different Grippers
桥田
Application Background
A smart manufacturing technology company undertook a project in the new energy vehicle industry, with the end user being an automotive manufacturer. The project involved gripper-to-gripper changes, requiring tool changers to enable seamless switching between multiple different grippers to accommodate the production needs of automotive body sheet metal parts for different vehicle models. The project goal was to achieve rapid switching of air, electrical, communication, and other utilities between one robot and multiple grippers, reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.
Sore Point

1. Concern about delays when re-establishing network connections during bus switching. 2. The on-site grippers and robots are existing assets, and the customer hopes to avoid any modification.

How To Solve

Qiaotian provided the QT-650 tool changer and a customized solution: to address the bus switching delay concern, a Turck module with fast networking capability was adopted to achieve second-level communication recovery after switching, improving production efficiency; to meet the requirement of no modification to existing on-site equipment, the tool changer interface was customized according to the existing components on site, enabling direct installation upon arrival without modifying the existing grippers and robots. Upon project completion, by switching between two grippers, the stability and speed of signal transmission were verified, along with whether the docking accuracy of the tool changer would change after repeated docking. Ultimately, the solution achieved rapid and stable switching of air, electrical, communication, and other utilities for the grippers, delivering second-level communication recovery after network disconnection and reconnection.
