Current economic trends and high customer demands make it difficult to use current automated production solutions. For this purpose, the Horizont 2020 program has created a ReconCell project aimed at bringing automated production closer to small and medium-sized enterprises.
As a subject of this thesis, a highly reconfigurable robotic screwdriver was developed for the ReconCell project. We used the commercially available spindle Deprag and the associated controller, all the other components we have developed ourselves. In addition to the assembly of a highly reconfigurable robotic screwdriver, appropriate screwdriving heads which are easily adapted to the new screws in the event of a change in the production process were also developed. Throughout the development process, the main guideline was the low price that can be economically justified by the small and medium-sized enterprises.
The robotic screwdriver assembly was successfully implemented and validated on two examples of industrial applications within the ReconCell project, namely screwing the self-tapping screw into the car headlight housing and screwing the flange and the end hexagon to the leg for smart furniture.
