Gimatic EOAT for EXTRACTION -TRANSPORT & CLIPPING

The customer requests EOAT with two cavities. One side of the plastic parts has to be rotated, clipped and checked on the EOAT during robot movement. Using a combination of linear, angular and other actuators, with the help of the 3D printing service it was possible to do the clipping and checking of the parts on the EOAT. Following Gimatic products are used on the EOAT; for gripping the parts OFR-G finger gripper, for linear movement OFB guided cylinders, for angular movement OFN tilt unit, for checking and gripping custom 3D printed parts are used on OFN tilt units. With Gimatic central 3D printer service, it is possible to track and replicate custom parts. This project has been possible with wide range of Gimatic components. Customer has reduced his process time by automatically picking plastic parts in meantime clipping and checking it on the EOAT during part transfer from mold to conveyor.

Non-marking EOAT for plastic parts

Problems:
Automobile instrument panel is an important part of automobile interior. The modeling part of this part is complex. The surface of many products is also textured which cannot be picked out by vacuum cups. And there is also one bumper in this project that has to be picked out from cavity side. At present, it is a common problem to take parts of automobile plastic parts from cavity side.

How to use GIMATIC products solve them?
GIMATIC components are standardized products, which can be made into the most suitable shape according to the modeling of products. When the surface is textured, we can use OFR gripper at the edge of the product and cooperate with the front suction cup to hold the product out. In this case, even if the suction cup is not vaccumized, the product can be taken out smoothly. As for the problem of taking parts from cavity side, we will describe it separately in another Case.

Bumper Fixed Mold Part Picking

Problems:
This project is to produce a series of interior and exterior decoration products for BMW’s new car. Among them, six products are front and rear bumpers of automobiles. Taking part from cavity side is a common difficulty for bumper which the demoulding force is very large, and the product is easily scratched.

How to use GIMATIC products solve them?
We used round aluminum pipes to build the frame of the EOAT which equipped with various clamping legs with a diameter of 30 or 20 mm. This ensures that the positions of all gripper can be adjusted universally. GIMATIC’s ZJ series products which Large clamping force, adjustable double stroke cylinder and simplified structure are very suitable for taking out from cavity side. GN series together with various large suction cups, has played a very good supporting role for the whole bumper.

High Precision Picking & Cutting EOAT

Problems:
There are many sprues on each product, and the maximum number is 12 pieces. After picking out, sprues need to be cut on the same time. The shearing accuracy is 0.1mm.
 
How to use GIMATIC products solve them?
We use GIMATIC’s standard parts OFR to clamp products and support by 3D print part. The 3D printing part makes accurate profiling and positioning for the product shape, and the flocking surface on the 3D printing part effectively protects the high gloss surface of the product from scratches. There is soft pad on the gripper which protect the product surface. By this way, it can be ensured that the product will not change after the product is taken out.
