Fully automatic welding system for scaffolding parts
A lot of high-tech goes into good scaffolding. At Peri, a total of 18 Yaskawa robots therefore weld and assemble so-called horizontal ledgers fully automatically.
Peri's 'Leitwerk Gerüst' is located in the Bavarian-Swabian town of Günzburg, which bundles the entire production for the 'PeriI UP' scaffolding technology at this site. Since 2016, over 100 Motoman robots from Yaskawa have been working here in a wide variety of systems. Recently, a further 18 Yaskawa robots were added to a fully automated handling and welding system.
The system produces horizontal bars of various lengths fully automatically, from the raw to the finished component, including optical quality/seam control and final palletizing for onward transport. By using several welding stations in parallel, the system can produce more than a thousand bars per shift. The system was designed to meet Peri's specifications while making optimum use of the available space.
Robots and system construction from Yaskawa
A total of 18 robots work together 'hand in hand' in the new PERI system: six high-precision Motoman 'MH5LS' welding robots, each with a load capacity of 5 kg, and a further twelve 'MH' robots in the daily load range up to 180 kg. The latter perform a wide range of feeding and handling tasks, two of which carry the camera systems for automatic component inspection.
The entire system was planned and realized by Yaskawa. It is therefore representative of welding systems of all sizes that Yaskawa has been implementing in Allershausen near Munich for around four decades. The Allershausen site has recently been expanded to include a further hall for system construction with around 10,000 square meters of floor space.
