Abstract [en]

This project is being carried out in collaboration with Parker Hannifin. The main objective of this project is to achieve a simulation of an automatic assembly cell for the assembly of the CRVs in the P70 hydraulic valve assembly line. The robotic cell uses the line layout to perform the assembly. It consists of a robot, an automatic feeder system, a conveyor system, an assembly table, and an aligner stand. The tool used to perform the assembly is a combination of two tools mounted on a multi-tool. The first tool is a vacuum gripper, and the second tool is a drill driver. The time taken by the robot to complete one assembly of a P70 module of three sections, with a size of six CRVs on each side, A and B, is eighty-eight seconds which is faster than the speed of a manual operator. The throughput rate of the assembly cell is forty-one complete assemblies per hour, which equals one hundred and twenty-three sections per hour. This result shows clear improvement comparing it to the manual assembly throughput rate. The minimum time for the automatic feeder system to request a refill is approximately twenty-two and a half minutes. A minimal change is required when a new specification is added to the assembly line.
