CAD-CAM-CAE with anthropomorphic Robots

Within the sector of the plastics Inser robotics has made various types of facilities include the download of injectors of plastics, insert into moulds loading and unloading of the resulting piece in injectors of plastic, the loading and unloading of smd presses, the finishing of parts: rebabado, sanding... and machining of parts: drilled. The last installation provided by Inser Robotics is a robotic system for drilling of plastic moulds, used in the process of manufacture of pieces of molded pulp.
The system consists of an anthropomorphic robot 6 axis Panasonic VR-008, a system of CAD-AM-CAE DTPS of Panasonic, a self-supporting frame with 2 workstations, system of automatic change of tool and EC approved assurances. The installation works in an unattended manner, because each piece incorporates an average of 3,000 drills and the intervention of the operator is not needed for loading and unloading of parts. The drills should be perpendicular to the surface of the piece, or at a certain angle.

The time spent on the task of programming through the teaching of the robot would be very high, so it was necessary to reduce software this time; and software is the Desktop Programming & Simulation System. To do so on the basis of the model in 3D of the piece is done programming assisted with the DTPS software from Panasonic which allows guiding the tool perpendicular to the surface as well repeat drilling patterns easily, doing the robot to behave similarly to a machine tool, but at a cost and greater flexibility (6 axes).
