Abstract: In this paper is described a new conception of the
Cartesian robot for automated assembly and also disassembly
process. The advantage of this conception is the utilization the
Cartesian assembly robot with its all peripheral automated devices for
assembly of the assembled product. The assembly product in the end
of the lifecycle can be disassembled with the same Cartesian
disassembly robot with the use of the same peripheral automated
devices and equipment. It is a new approach to problematic solving
and development of the automated assembly systems with respect to
lifecycle management of the assembly product and also assembly
system with Cartesian robot. It is also important to develop the
methodical process for design of automated assembly and
disassembly system with Cartesian robot. Assembly and disassembly
system use the same Cartesian robot input and output devices,
assembly and disassembly units in one workplace with different
application. Result of design methodology is the verification and
proposition of real automated assembly and disassembly workplace
with Cartesian robot for known verified model of assembled actuator.
Abstract: In this contribution is presented a complex design of
individual objects identification in the workplace of intelligent
assembly cell. Intelligent assembly cell is situated at Institute of
Manufacturing Systems and Applied Mechanics and is used for
pneumatic actuator assembly. Pneumatic actuator components are
pneumatic roller, cover, piston and spring. Two identification objects
alternatives for assembly are designed in the workplace of industrial
robot. In the contribution is evaluated and selected suitable
alternative for identification – 2D codes reader. The complex design
of individual object identification is going out of intelligent
manufacturing systems knowledge.
Intelligent assembly and manufacturing systems as systems of
new generation are gradually loaded in to the mechanical production,
when they are removeing human operation out of production process
and they also short production times.
