Abstract
This paper discusses the design of automated lines, taking into account the use of industrial robots to perform technological operations. When planning manufacturing processes, as well as the placement of process equipment and robots in the production area, optimization techniques are usually used to ensure critical performance and efficiency indicators. The considered design methods are shown on the example of an automated line for the production of lithium-ion batteries. To design this line, 3D CAD models of technological equipment and transport lines were built. Based on the results of time analysis, those technological operations were opted, for which it would be advisable to use robots. The design of the robotic production for the technological operations was carried out using ABB robots. The robots required were chosen from the ABB catalog by weight, size of work area, speed and power. The plan of the robotic zones was drawn up using the ABB RobotStudio software, which allows visualizing the movements and programming robots off-line.
Highlights
Each year, the demand for lithium-ion batteries increases as new portable electronic devices continue to appear in the market [1]
At the early stage of designing an automated line, the issue of choosing technological operations is important, where human labor must be replaced by a robot [3]
The ABB RobotStudio [4] from the manufacturer of a wide range of industrial robots should be highlighted for the ability to directly select the required robots and apply them on the automated line at the stage of conceptual planning and simulation [5]
Summary
The demand for lithium-ion batteries increases as new portable electronic devices continue to appear in the market [1]. Lithium-ion batteries are used for smart phones and laptops, and in mobile robots, electric vehicles, data centre servers, and many other industrial applications. When planning production, automated lines for the manufacture of batteries using robots are of interest. At the early stage of designing an automated line, the issue of choosing technological operations is important, where human labor must be replaced by a robot [3]. The ABB RobotStudio [4] from the manufacturer of a wide range of industrial robots should be highlighted for the ability to directly select the required robots and apply them on the automated line at the stage of conceptual planning and simulation [5]
