POSSIBLE ROBOTIC APPLICATIONS FOR THE METAL INDUSTRY

Possible robotic applications for the metal industry

The metal industry is one of the biggest revenue-generating industries in
today’s economy. It impacts various end-user applications and caters to a vast
range of sectors: agriculture, automotive, medical, aerospace, construction,
electronics, and many more. As it is such a huge industry, it needs automation
to meet the standards and production rate of the demanded supply.

Robots accomplish various jobs in the metal industry. These tasks can vary from
part handling to welding, assembly, painting, and cutting.

Let’s delve into some of the automation possibilities that robots can handle in
the metal industry:


PART HANDLING:

This is one of the most common, yet one of the most necessary usages of robots
in the metal industry. Part handling is basically picking either raw material or
a finished product from one spot and placing it in another designated spot. It
can also involve the robot operating with another machine like a forming press,
a CNC, etc. Tasks included are, but are not limited to

 * Loading
 * Unloading
 * Palletizing

 * Selection of parts
 * Reorienting
 * Sorting

 * Operating with classic metal industry machine (Press, Laser cutting, Plasma
   cutting, etc)

It allows the handling of large, heavy, and dangerous objects safely on a large
scale and at a fast pace. Moreover, it provides high repeatability and
efficiency with minimal changeover time between products.


ROBOTIC DEBURRING:

Deburring is a necessary and important step in the metal industry as this makes
the product more client-ready. This means high repeatability is needed for
products to be consistent. When done by humans, errors increase and
repeatability decreases. Automation helps manufacturers yield higher profits in
a medium to long-term perspective. Robotic deburring also improves the quality
of the produced part thanks to the fact that the robot’s settings and toolings
can be customized according to each of the part’s requirements and be compliant
with some part variations. This helps minimize defects.

Have a look at our DIY-Robotics Deburring Cell Bundle, developed in partnership
with ATI Automation and RoboDK.





ROBOTIC PAINTING:

Metal painting has always been a health hazard for humans as it involves toxic
components. Thankfully, robotizing this task helps reduce risks for workers.
Also, robots have more consistency and precision than humans when applying
paint.

In the automotive industry, some robots are used for paint jobs. GM motors and
Volkswagen are good examples of this. Robots can do the initial primer,
electrostatic, and final coat of paint in a short amount of time. They offer
high flexibility, high quality, more control over the process, and all the
while, decrease paint and material costs.


ROBOTIC WELDING

Welding is an operation where precision and consistency are both very much
required. Due to this demand for precision, robotic welding has been a part of
the metal industry for a long time.

Robotic welding guarantees high quality and high quantity welding with accuracy
and repeatability. There are different types of robotic welding: laser, plasma,
arc, TIG, MIG, and others. This technology saves industries both time and money.
On top of that, it also helps reduce waste. All this makes it an expensive, but
necessary investment. This is especially true for industries with small to
medium-scale productions which have suffered a shortage of workers in recent
years.



Some alternative solutions like the Robotic Welding Assistant have a better ROI
for smaller productions that would like to automate more. It’s a collaborative
solution that saves industries from hidden costs and it is ready to install and
start-up.


ROBOTIC CUTTING:

Robotic cutting allows for high precision and higher quality cuts, irrespective
of the complexity of the cutting blueprints. Some of the technologies used for
robotic cutting are laser, plasma, waterjet, and others. Robotic cutting helps
workers avoid working with high temperatures cutting and they even accelerate
the process.

Robotic cutting is currently used mostly in the automotive, electronics, and
sheet metal industries.

Robots are contributing more and more to the industrial revolution by doing
mundane and repetitive work. In this blog, we only discussed a few Robotic
Applications. There are many other robotic possibilities for the metal industry
such as assembly, machine-tending, and quality checks. That last one is
especially pertinent in a manufacturing industry of the automotive sector. With
the development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), robot’s capabilities are
increasing. The horizon is still expanding and there is still much more to go
until we can maximize the usage of robots.
