Automation: Phase 1.
The movie above shows a Human Welder completing the Welding Task that will be accomplished by a Robco Robot. This is Laser Welding inside a Kyrus Laser Welding Enclosure, measuring 3.0m wide by 2.0m deep. The Human Welder wears protective gear, as shown in this movie.
This Phase 1 Automation is to replace Human Welders with Robco Robots for 4 current Welding Enclosures, expanding to 8 Welding Enclosures in the near future.
Subject to validation, the Welding Task Duration is 2-minutes per Welded Cylinder per Welder/Welding Enclosure.
As show in the image above, this Welding Task is to Weld upto 8 'Bosses' onto Cylinders which vary in height from 500mm to 1,500mm. Bosses are selected from 3 diameters: 15.0mm, 22.0mm or 28.0mm. Each Boss has a specific position on Cylinders of 4 diameters: 400mm, 450mm, 500mm or 600mm. There are multiple choices of Product Configurations, specifying Cylinder height and diameter, Boss diameter and position on Cylinder.
Each Cylinder starts as flat stell and in an earlier Production Task, is turned into the 4 Cylinder height/diameter options.
As shown in the image above, Bosses have male and female threads - and are Welded onto Cylinder.
The image above shows a view inside the Kyrus Laser Welding Enclosure, measuring 3.0m wide by 2.0m deep.
