Human-Robot-Collaboration System for a Universal Packaging Cell for Heavy Electronic Consumer Goods

  • Conference paper
Enabling Manufacturing Competitiveness and Economic Sustainability

Abstract

The Project CustomPacker - Highly Customizable and Flexible Packaging Station for mid- to upper-sized electronic consumer goods using Industrial Robots aims to design a flexible and scalable packaging cell for heavy electronic consumer goods. In this project human-robot-collaboration is used for the packaging task to reduce the cycle time. Human-robot-collaboration demands some specific targets, for example safety aspects and ergonomic issues. Within the project, the robot, the gripping mechanism and other components were developed and built up. This paper introduces a method to develop such handling systems. The procedure adepts the ”Münchner Vorgehensmodell” to the special requirements of packaging systems.
