U<\/span>ntil a few years ago, JUNG installed building tech\u00adnology compo\u00adnents such as switches, design covers or smart radios manu\u00adally. Then in 2014 the turning point came: The Manuserv joint project, which was funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy, helped JUNG to auto\u00admate a previ\u00adously manual produc\u00adtion process using robotics in a way that made sense from a tech\u00adno\u00adlog\u00adical and economic point of view.<\/p>\n

For example, the UR5 light\u00adweight arm from Universal Robots entered the produc\u00adtion halls in L\u00fcnen as a new worker \u2014 equipped with the elec\u00adtric gripper for small compo\u00adnents EGP 40 from SCHUNK. \u201cIt made getting started with robotics very simple,\u201d says Carsten Meise, Team Leader for Produc\u00adtion Equip\u00adment Engi\u00adneering at JUNG. \u201cAutomating loading of the laser marking cell at our smart radio station and equip\u00adping this work\u00adsta\u00adtion with a cobot just made sense. We were able to install every\u00adthing without a hitch and get started right away.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the SCHUNK automa\u00adtion concept Plug & Work, a large number of automa\u00adtion scenarios can be real\u00adized in a short time. In the mean\u00adtime, we have an exten\u00adsive full range of stan\u00addard\u00adized compo\u00adnents for grip\u00adping, changing and measuring forces and torques for various cobots and light\u00adweight robots \u2500 from Universal Robots, among others.<\/p>\n

\u201eWe clearly benefit from SCHUNK\u2019s appli\u00adca\u00adtion exper\u00adtise.\u201c<\/p>\n

At the laser cell station at JUNG the light\u00adweight robot and the employee work together harmo\u00adniously, smoothly and safely. It works like this: The employee places a fully assem\u00adbled housing including power supply unit in one of two work\u00adpiece holders and starts the UR5. The SCHUNK EGP 40 picks up the compo\u00adnent and places it in a Rofin laser cell, where first one side of the housing is marked. The gripper then picks up the compo\u00adnent again, the robot arm rotates the gripper together with the work\u00adpiece 180 degrees around the longi\u00adtu\u00addinal axis, and the second housing side is labeled.<\/p>\n

Finally, the EGP 40 places the compo\u00adnent in a second holder, from which the employee removes it again for pack\u00adaging. During auto\u00admatic laser cell loading, the employee can perform other tasks. She prepares ship\u00adping boxes, cleans assem\u00adbled parts with a cloth, places them in the boxes, assem\u00adbles a new power supply and places it in front of the robot in one of the two work\u00adpiece holders.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtive pick-and-place appli\u00adca\u00adtion helped to design an effi\u00adcient smart radio station,\u201d stresses Andr\u00e9 Heng\u00adste\u00adbeck, Senior Project Manager Oper\u00ada\u00adtions at JUNG. The SCHUNK EGP mecha\u00adtronic 24-volt small parts gripper plays a major role in this. It scores with power density, high speed and high grip\u00adping force. Brush\u00adless, main\u00adte\u00adnance-free servo\u00admo\u00adtors as well as a powerful junc\u00adtion roller guide ensure a high level of effi\u00adciency, and trans\u00adforms it into the ideal handling compo\u00adnent for dynamic, demanding pick & place appli\u00adca\u00adtions.<\/p>\n

The user remains flex\u00adible in terms of plant design, as the EGP can be flush or surface-mounted on the ground or sides. \u201cWe at JUNG clearly benefit from SCHUNK\u2019s appli\u00adca\u00adtion exper\u00adtise with this Cobot appli\u00adca\u00adtion,\u201d confirms Carsten Meise. \u201cBecause we always assemble our produc\u00adtion lines and oper\u00adating equip\u00adment ourselves and it was very simple for us. We are now preparing more suit\u00adable work\u00adsta\u00adtions for auto\u00admated processes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

At JUNG, a premium supplier of modern building tech\u00adnology based in L\u00fcnen in West\u00adphalia, Germany, a cobot from Universal Robots takes over the loading of a laser marking cell. It is equipped with a gripper for small compo\u00adnents from SCHUNK, which ensures high throughput with great preci\u00adsion. Together, they are a prime example of how easy it is to get started with automa\u00adtion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":393,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"wp_typography_post_enhancements_disabled":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-388","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-equipped-by-schunk","category-02-21"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/25"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=388"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1686,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/388\/revisions\/1686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/393"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=388"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=388"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bluejournal.schunk.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=388"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
