3. IMPACT

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION1. COLLABORATIVE ROBOTICS IN CNC MANUAL TASKS

I4MS 2016: FOSTERING DIGITAL INDUSTRIAL INNOVATION IN EUROPE · 23rd and 24th of June – Amsterdam

objectives: ergonomics error limitation

LUS

Use case profile:

Flexible Manufacturing SystemIntegrator: MCM SpA (machine tool builder)

End User: Cembre SpA (machining)

Assembly of parts in Manual Load/Unload Station (LUS)

skilled worker, heavy task manual bottleneck, many configurations

EUROC ExperimentMCM partner, Cembre field test

PROBLEM AND SOLUTION1. COLLABORATIVE ROBOTICS IN CNC MANUAL TASKS


Solution: robotic assistant (Smart Factory) picking | handling | insertions | screwing

holding | testing | sorting

features: fast interaction control for heavy tasks sensing of humans and workpieces human-centric motion plannning safety task programming and reconfiguration

LUS

Goal-oriented experiments helps in getting the most out of Innovation activities “technology pull” effect real world constraints and scenarios

The robotics Challenge with benchmarking and custom performances helps developers in rising the average level of Innovation in the community

Collaborative robotics is an opportunity, while the SME market is still dominated by manual task: showcasing and introducing robot technology is cool!

HOW I4MS HELPED1. BENEFITS FROM EUROC PROJECT


Machine tools and machine tool builders is a prime sector meta-customer: technology provider for multiple sectors

IMPACT1. EXPECTED BENEFITS FOR THE MACHINE TOOL SECTOR


Main benefit: reduction of errors Reduction rate p = 75%, n = 3 event/yr Entity of damage = 1000 €/event 300k CNCs, 100k plants: p = 10% usage 22+ M€/yr saving
