ABB sets new standards in body-in-white production
ABB has extensive robotics know-how and in-depth knowledge of joining, clamping and component handling in the field of car body manufacturing. In this application, ABB utilizes track motions and gripper solutions in addition to its proven industrial robots.
ABB's FlexiCell line features a complete series of robot-based manufacturing cells, which can be applied individually or in combination with other cells to manufacture car body parts. The FlexiCell series guarantees the ultimate in flexibility, as it can be applied as an island solution or linked with other cells in a complete assembly line. Its standardized design enables eighty percent of its components to be re-applied in the manufacturing of other car body parts.
Because wiring is integrated and all components are mounted on the base frame, cell modules can be easily moved to another location. This keeps setup and commissioning times extremely short. Other advantages include high system uptime, the ability to copy complete assembly lines and reduced project cycles thanks to the availability of field tested solutions.
Tapping the full potential of the robot's functionality eliminates the need to use expensive and less reliable peripheral equipment. FlexiCells are designed to meet the highest safety standards and guarantee a smooth production process. The cell concept is suitable for a variety of car body assembly processes. ABB offers proven solutions for spot welding, flanging, gluing, laser applications, arc welding and inline measurement.
ABB's complete solutions for robot grippers and jigs are easy to use, economical and standardized. ABB has developed modular systems to manufacture manipulating and geo grippers or jigs. Since these products use standard components, their lead times and inventory levels are reduced. Very quick maintenance and straightforward servicing (one or more components can be exchanged in less than five minutes) are additional key advantages - there is no longer a need for spare grippers.
These families of grippers and tools can be used by assembly line builders and users of grippers or geo jigs. The ABB products simplify planning and considerably improve the parts accessebility. Other key benefits include reduced assembly and measurement time, as well as excellent repeatability when replacing components.
