In this thesis, we focus on the robotization of the stacking of rotor packages in a pallet. We present the current process in the production, perform an automation study considering space constraints and select a robot that is sufficient for the stroke rate and product weight. Special attention is also given to the appropriate choice of protection to ensure safe working in production. The whole project has also been evaluated financially.
The second part of the thesis presents the programs for the operation and simulation of the robot cell. The program was developed with the ROBOGUIDE environment, which is connected to the S7-1500 virtual controller. An human machine interface was created to facilitate the user's control of the cell and robot operation. Through simulation, we confirmed that the robot cell is capable of the desired cycle rates.
