…exposure to high temperatures when they use robots during residue-cleaning maintenance cycles. The Role of Traditional Technology Many manufacturers have hesitated to adopt robotic metal stamping technology because it traditionally requires a hefty upfront investment. Additionally, programming was often time consuming and resulted in costly downtime. However, companies have been working hard to find solutions to common pain points. Manufacturing plant managers have also been reluctant to adopt robotic metal stamping tools because they’re bulky. Admittedly, managing worker safety and product quality is more challenging when autonomous machinery takes up most of the production floor. However, collaborative technology now allows…

…particle-free before assembly, and are therefore subjected to meticulous cleaning at very high pressure. These noisy and arduous processes are currently performed manually. Operators exposed to high pressure water jets, up to 60 bars, pollution and noise are at high risk of MSD. Aeronautical manufacturers and subcontractors are having difficulty recruiting candidates for these jobs, which are also highly regulated and whose difficulty is closely monitored by the unions. In order to reduce the difficulty of these tasks, manufacturers are seeking to automate them. Nevertheless, they are confronted with the complexity of robotization, due in particular to the diversity of…

…Before heat treatment, the serial parts undergo a meticulous cleaning process in a cabin-washing facility, said HWL. Each customer typically delivers around 900 to 1,000 parts in large loading carriers, which employees manually transfer into washing baskets. The parts in the baskets are then carefully placed onto multi-tiered racks using a peg system before being transported to the oven for heat treatment. The immense diversity in size and weight of the metal parts, combined with their fragile nature prior to heat treatment, made the handling process extremely complex, noted Lembke. He said the following factors made automation with conventional systems…
