Overcoming Challenges: Our Solutions
The Problem
German audio equipment leader Beyerdynamic aimed at increasing factory floor productivity by 50% on a 4-year plan. This had to be done in the same production space, with the same number of employees, without compromising the brand’s highest quality standards. They were looking for really stable automated processes.The Solution
The Robotiq Wrist Camera and 2-Finger Gripper combo, installed on a Universal Robots UR5 model, rapidly became the best option. Beyerdynamic was able to have the robot pick every loudspeaker, regardless of how it was presented, and place it on the jigs to get sprayed with a glue medium.Lean robotics at their best.
Robotiq’s 2F-85 and 2F-140 Adaptive Grippers combined with the Wrist camera brought benefits on many levels:
- Productivity and quality improvements: With the three coworkers who already worked at this station Beyerdynamic has achieved a 50% increase in volume with a simultaneous increase in quality.
- Maximization of human potential: Beyerdynamic can now focus on tasks where the human work value is high.
The Robotiq solution
Pick & place and vision
The combination of 2F Adaptive Grippers and the Wrist Camera offered Beyerdynamic the best solution to fit in their small floor space. While the adaptive grippers are easy to use, the wrist camera solves the problem every manufacturer has, which is picking up parts that are not in the same position.
