Overview
Here you will find a selection of applications for which Wiest technology has been used in the past. You can restrict the range of applications using the Industry and Activity selection boxes.
Case Studies
Seam sealing and undercoating
26.02.10When worn parts are replaced, the robot programs need to undergo re-teaching.
Precise direction of impact for milling applications
26.02.10Parts are produced with a milling robot in a rapid prototyping procedure.
Machine loading with sensitive gripper
26.02.10As the cell is very confined, work has to be done with a highly complex gripper which, in the event of a crash, cannot simply be replaced by a spare gripper.
Calibrating a vision system into car frame
26.02.10On a production line for applying undercoating and seam sealant to car bodies, the goal is to enable new car models to be introduced without calling on external service providers.
Cloning production lines
26.02.10Programs that were written for a production line applying PVC need to be run on a second line without any re-teaching.
Spot welding in body shells
26.02.10On a welding line where a large number of different car bodies are produced, new models need to be introduced with as little downtime as possible.
Cloning milling cells
26.02.10The robot cell for deburring turbine blades needs to be cloned so that time-consuming measurements do not need to be repeated on a second cell.
Fully backed up production line
26.02.10To start all the robot programs on a production line from a single point, work objects and tools need to be measured as accurately as possible.
Applying sealant from a distance of 0.5 mm
26.02.10When sealant is applied to the cylinder head of an engine, the nozzle moves only 0.5 mm above the surface.
Backing up complex machining cells
26.02.10Two absolutely accurate robots that process endoscopes at a total of eight stations, need to be backed up.
Mastering Motoman robots for water jet cutting
25.02.10The robots that cut textiles for the automotive industry need to undergo frequent maintenance as a result of the high processing speeds.
Quick setup of off-line programs
25.02.10To avoid the need to re-teach robot programs generated off-line, it is necessary to achieve an absolutely accurate calibration of the robots and to obtain exact tool and frame data.
Setup time optimisation and quick maintenance following a crash
09.12.09The calibration time and the setup times for multiple robot portals need to be reduced.
Off-line programming of twelve axes
09.12.09In a system for welding very large sub-assemblies, the programs generated off-line lead to deviations.
Arc welding with manual jig change
08.12.09The cell setup needs to be readjusted frequently because of the very small lot sizes. The subsequent teach-in processes result in very long production stoppages.
Robot cell for quality testing
08.12.09When robot cells are built for material testing, it is essential that the robot programs run consistently and that the sensor distance remains constant.
Inaccessible machine loading
08.12.09When a highly complex cell that is difficult to access is relocated, it is essential to avoid long production stoppages.
Processing cast parts with many track points
08.12.09On a cell for deburring cast parts, a point shift often occurs which leads to a long re-teaching process.
