Robot RTV Axle Housing





Here is a robot picking up a part and presenting it to an RTV (Room Temperature Vulcanization) unit. The RTV dispenses the material (which is like a glue) or liquid gasket. The robot then flips the cover over and places it on to the axle. There are two spindle units (Powered-screwdrivers) on the robot and gets two bolt rundown to a specific torque. The project was to replace the robot with a newer version, a new RTV unit, and re-use an existing Atlas Copco spindle unit. The robot end-effector had to be re-designed. The entire sequence had to be re-done and new HMI screens were made.
