The Customer:

OECHSLER specializes in manufacturing precision components and assemblies mainly for the automotive, medical and electrical industries.

The Task:

Producing covers for mobile phones

The Problem:

Production hall with very low ceiling, floor space was a limiting factor in production

The Solution:

A wall-mounted industrial robot.

The Outcome:

The covers are manufactured on a KM 80 CX and removed from the mould (by suction) by an IR 200 W industrial robot mounted on a vertical frame. The swivel movement of the robot, with only two axes in motion, makes possible a significant reduction in the cycle time without impacting on the high flexibility. The gripper handles sprue-removal. On command, all parts from one shot are deposited on a conveyor belt for a quality check. As with a linear robot, the area below the industrial robot can be fully used, for example for packing. In this case, three packaging systems are planned: trays, blister packs and boxes.
