In the human-machine collaboration mode, people and machines work together. The production and monitoring of production by personnel, while the robot is responsible for the physical work of fatigue. Both play their respective expertise: an important principle of Industry 4.0.
Man-machine collaboration: process technology
In the human-machine collaboration mode, the robot is the assistant of the person. This means that the machine is not a substitute for people, but a person's ability and responsibility for the work. For example, work above the head or lifting heavy objects. Collaborative autonomous robots are also used for feeding stations during production, for example in the production of KUKA itself.
Automatic and manual stations are not separated in future plants. Human-machine ideally cooperates - no separation, no guardrails.
KUKA developed the first robot that allows for human-machine collaboration: KUKA LBR iiwa. The robot uses intelligent control technology, high-performance sensors and state-of-the-art software technology – enabling new collaborative production technology solutions. In this way, the most difficult work that has been done manually yet is economically automated.
LBR iiwa and other human-machine cooperative robots are not limited by location and task with the help of mobile platforms such as KUKA flexFellow. It can therefore be used in the exact position according to the production requirements – for example according to the number of pieces required. In addition, LBR iiwa has the characteristics of spontaneous automation, so it has the greatest flexibility: it can provide the best support as an assistant in production load peaks and resource bottlenecks.
Application: Work side by side with robot colleagues at Dingolfing's BMW factory
The application of human-machine collaboration is still an emerging field, and KUKA has accumulated rich practical experience in this field and put practical solutions into reality. For example, in the BMW company of Dingolfing: the former workers had to lift and join the bevel gears of the front axle transmission alone, and now work together with the sensitive LBR iiwa robot colleagues in the narrowest space – no guardrail at all, and still It is in its familiar environment.
Human-computer collaboration: advantages
Human-machine collaboration has brought fundamental changes to industrial production and manufacturing in future plants, with decisive and important advantages:
â— Maximum flexibility in the production process
â— Undertake manual processes that were previously impossible to automate and are not ergonomic, reducing employee burden
â— Reduce the risk of injury and infection, such as the use of dedicated human-machine cooperative grippers
â— High quality to complete repeatable processes without investing in types or artifacts
â— Increased productivity and equipment complexity with built-in sensing system
It has a wide range of applications, including power production and power dispatching center, nuclear industry facility operation center, energy production center, traffic operation monitoring center, aerospace mission monitoring center, public safety mission monitoring center, financial trading center, monitoring center, radio and television monitoring center, factory central control room and many other application scenarios. These types of control rooms, Both monitoring center and control center belong to mission critical control environment, which affects the orderly operation of economy and society.Operation method, installation and maintenance of jbkz tank liquid level alarm device. The device is applicable to the monitoring and alarm of high liquid level and overfill cargo tank.
