Supervised screwdriving - challenges
Screwdriving processes in the industrial environment today have to meet high quality and traceability requirements. It is also about ensuring the safety of screw points / screw connections in critical and sensitive areas, such as in the automotive industry, railway technology, etc., where screw connections are required up to category A (danger to life and physical well-being) is imperative here.
The limits of conventional screw-in / fastening stands
In the industrial environment, screwing / fastening systems with stands are most commonly used today. Among other things, some of our compact.UNI assembly workstations as well as many of our other screwing assembly stations are equipped in this way. However, the use of screwing stands has its limits in some applications:
Position-monitored screwing portal as an alternative to conventional screwing stands
For this reason, we at Brainware Solutions GmbH have developed a position-monitored screwing portal as an alternative that overcomes all of these limitations and enables precise screwing at any position, even in large assembly systems.
Parameters of our position-monitored screwing portal / screwing gantry
A short sequence of our screwing portal (screwing gantry), which is used here in an assembly system with four assembly stations. A conventional screw stand was out of the question in this case due to the space limitations. It was also the customer's wish to assemble with two different screwdrivers. All this would not have been possible with a conventional screwing stand.
