“…Veiga et al [31] have also successfully developed a new automatic system for assembling electrical connectors used in automobiles based solely on conventional automation. The literature is practically consensual in mentioning that the automation of industrial processes requires a very rigorous diagnostic phase, which must be followed by a phase of selection of the best solution that takes into account flexibility, rigour of results and a cost/benefit ratio [32]. It is thus clear that conventional automation can be perfectly integrated into more complex robotic solutions, without jeopardizing the total flexibility of the system, and even increasing that flexibility.…”

A Novel Robotic Manipulator Concept for Managing the Winding and Extraction of Yarn Coils

Wire rope manufacturing is an old industry that maintains its place in the market due to the need for products with specific characteristics in different sectors. The necessity for modernization and performance improvement in this industry, where there is still a high amount of labor dedicated to internal logistics operations, led to the development of a new technology method, to overcome uncertainties related to human behaviour and fatigue. The removal of successive yarn coils from a twisting and winding machine, as well as cutting the yarn and connecting the other end to the shaft in order to proceed with the process, constitutes the main problem. As such, a mobile automatic system was created for this process, due to its automation potential, with a project considering the design of a 3D model. This novel robotic manipulator increased the useful production time and decreased the winding coil removal cycle time, resulting in a more competitive, fully automated product with the same quality. This system has led to better productivity and reliability of the manufacturing process, eliminating manual labor and its cost, as in previously developed works in other industries.
