Abstract
Loading stations for flammable liquids are still handled manually. In this chapter handling of tank wagon manhole covers using industrial robots is presented, which will be used to automate the process. Currently a number of non-ergonomic and hazardous tasks have to be done manually. The heterogeneity of the processed tank wagons and manhole covers is the main obstacle for the automation of the process. The presented approach supplies a mechanical setup providing the required flexibility for the actual handling process and a procedure for identification of key geometric features of the wagons. The Human-Machine-Interface and the control structure had to be developed, as the facility operators have to interfere with the system to verify and adapt the targets given to the robot system but have no robotic experience. At the current state the developed system has been validated. The prototype setup is to be transferred to the industrial facility.
