Artiminds Robotics
Innovative cable handling application in the Application Park
Artiminds Robotics will be showcasing a robot-based automation solution for the sensor-assisted assembly of flexible cables and wires in connector housings in the Application Park at the Hannover Messe.
As a provider of software solutions and engineering services for sensor-based robot automation,Artiminds is presenting a cable handling application for precise cable harness assembly in Hanover. The robot-assisted solution demonstrates the robust detection, gripping and joining of free-hanging, flexible parts such as wires and cables. The solution approach developed by Artiminds for the complex 2.5D application is based on a special combination of laser line scanners, 2D camera technology and force-torque measurement as well as specially developed interfaces and intelligent function modules in the 'Robot Programming Suite (RPS)' from Artiminds.
The software processes the scan result in real time and synchronizes it with the robot movement to determine the exact pick-up point. It then performs a force-controlled joining operation that enables the cable ends to be inserted precisely and securely into the connector housing.
The demonstration illustrates the versatile application possibilities of the manufacturer-independent programming software. As the software generates native robot code, the programs can be executed directly on the standard controller of the industrial robot used, without additional hardware.
