PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
Trigger & Bottle Assembly System
Project summary
A fully automated system that assembled a bottle within 5 seconds or less had to be designed.
The Challenge
The following metrics had to be met:
- Automatic flywheels introduction from the parts washer
- Automatically convey filled bottles of varying sizes to assemble the station
- Automatically sort multiple types and orient triggers for assembly
- Automatically torque triggers to bottles within specifications
- Ultrasonically weld triggers to bottles
The Solution
The following methods, components and technologies were implemented and integrated to provide a comprehensive solution:
- Trigger hopper and flighted conveyor system control trigger introduction
- Dynamic trigger picking and orientation using robotics and vision
- Dynamic trigger placing using robotics
- Full dynamic bottle sortation using LinMot linear actuators
- Bottle transportation using a custom plastic chain-type conveyor
- Bottle control using dual servo feed-screw control
- Trigger closure torque control using custom servo torque head
