Abstract
The automation of production is an important element in the functioning of any production enterprise. The aim of this article is to analyze the quality of the product made manually with the use of spot-welding machines and to analyze the quality of the product made by the industrial robot type "Fanuc Robotics S-420i". The analyzed product was the front panel of the body, made of semi-finished products in the spot-welding process. During the analysis, the impact of production automation on the product quality was found. Applications of the robotized welding process are used not only because of better quality parameters, but also because of the significant reduction of production costs and less fatigue of employees. The robot operator is a quality controller and contributes to quality management.
Highlights
The quality of products delivered to the market is currently determined and assessed by an increasingly demanding customer, forcing companies to increase the effectiveness of their operations (Abramson, 1999)
Journal of Innovation & Business Best Practice necessary for companies? Will the manual work be a thing of the past? and Why do people want robots to replace their work?
Will the robots do it right? Will it be a qualitatively more reliable product? Surely, robots are more efficient, more resistant to fatigue and faster, but will they improve the product quality? Doesn't the manual work seem more accurate, qualitatively better and more precise? These and other questions are answered in this work
Summary
The quality of products delivered to the market is currently determined and assessed by an increasingly demanding customer, forcing companies to increase the effectiveness of their operations (Abramson, 1999). The customer often demands diversified products, fulfilling many functional and safe functions even in extreme conditions. Among such competitive criteria as cost, flexibility, speed, reliability and quality, quality is becoming a priority. Many questions arise in the modern world such as: What are the benefits of the automation of production in this respect? Robots will do hard work for people, and they can do other things. These and other questions are answered in this work It wasn't the quantity, productivity or production costs that were the subject matter of the work, but the quality of the product, a specific product for the automotive industry - before and after automating the workplace (Bigvand, Fay 2017)
