Application Industry: Automotive Exhaust Emission Device Assembly
Recommended Product: Gaobo Easy Arm™ Intelligent Lifting Device
Problem Solved: The requirement for operators to repeatedly lift, move, and accurately position large automotive exhaust emission devices onto the tooling fixtures.
Gaobo’s Solution: Gaobo Easy Arm™ Intelligent Lifting Device, equipped with a coaxial sliding handle combined with a custom end effector.
Case Analysis: The client is a large automotive muffler manufacturer that has been considering how to ensure worker safety and reduce labor fatigue during the assembly process of automotive exhaust emission devices for many years.
The welding area of the assembly production line requires operators to continuously lift and lower large exhaust extraction devices from different welding stations, leading to frequent safety incidents. At the same time, the high labor intensity causes worker fatigue and decreasing production efficiency. A solution that can adapt to the continuously changing assembly process becomes crucial, and the client urgently needs a reliable, easy-to-operate, and flexible method.
This company ultimately decided to choose several sets of Gaobo Easy Arm™ equipped with coaxial sliding handle controllers and customized end effectors. This product allows a single operator to move and position exhaust components in all welding areas quickly and effortlessly.
In certain areas of the assembly process, a floating mode is applied for the precise calibration and positioning of workpieces on the tooling fixtures. For lightweight workpieces, operators control the vacuum gripper on the Easy Arm™ using the coaxial sliding handle to lift them during the manufacturing process.
Once the exhaust emission device assembly is completed, the gripping and positioning tools on the Easy Arm™ can place the workpiece onto the shipping pallet under the control of a remote key handle.
The Easy Arm™ controlled by the coaxial sliding handle has become the optimal solution for this company, solving the problems of handling large devices and ensuring worker occupational safety.
