Automatic bending of sheet metal with a KUKA robot

Ғылым және технология

Previously, Metallkonzept Glaser GmbH used manual handling when bending sheet metal. In order to offer the bent parts at lower prices, the company was looking for a more cost-effective alternative. The aim was to be able to manufacture even small series economically, and to utilize nearly 100% of the systems capacity.

    I've seen Fanucs do stuff like that. My favorite robot trick is the ability to hold a large part motionless in the air while the entire robot arm rotates. Think of it like putting your hand up to a window and then rotating your arm 180 degrees and bend your elbow backwards without moving your hand from the glass.

    Kuka robots can sell for as little as $10.000 AUD so, let's assume those plates sell for around 12c per unit, that gives us 833 units that it needs to fulfill and that it takes 2 minutes to fabricate each piece based on the video, then it can take as little as 27 hours for it to pay for itself.

    That's not how economics work, first of all you're a factor 100 off (833 units x 12ct = ~$100) so nearly 2800 hours or 115,7 days non-stop without maintenance shutdown to just process it's lowest possible cost if material, initial installation, maintenance, power and replacement parts were free. You'd need to compare it to a human operator or competing robotic system to determine how long it would take for the investment to pay back.

    @@aleksandersuur9475 Not really. This robot running quite slowly and inefficiently it would be quite easy to make significant improvements to the process time. Production = Profit. Often the machines can't keep up with the robot and in that case I agree that there is no point making the robot run flat out, stop and wait. This looks like the machine is waiting a lot for the robot and the robot is not close to full speed. Perhaps turn it up to 7 or 8 (not 11). The moves in this are also quite sharp with a lot of stops and short abrupt moves (classic robot dance, but not how modern industrial robots usually function), linking those so the robot can smooth out the path would speed up the processing time while reducing wear on the robot.

    The jobs aren't going away, they're just changing. Takes a team of people to make sure the robots stays functional, takes a whole factory(ies) to manufacture a part when something breaks, takes people in trucks to drive that part to the team that's fixing the robot, takes power plant employees to run the power plant that generates the power that the robot consumes, takes teachers and professors to teach that workforce the skills they'll need for those jobs. The jobs aren't going away, they're just becoming more sophisticated. Go to school; get an education; learn math, chemistry, and computer technology and you won't give a bigger shit about the job market.

    You raise a good question: how do automation and technology change employment? There isn't one answer, but it's a fascinating conversation. Generally speaking, new technology always leads to some job loss and some new jobs that didn't previously exist. Also, the trend in technology (and robotics as well) is to make manufacturing safer and more ergonomic. Robots take over heavy lifting and repetitive tasks, for example. But it's a big topic. Feel free to drop into the KUKA Facebook group to meet KUKA robot operators and discuss the topic further and more in depth: facebook.com/groups/KUKAGlobal/
