At the beginning of the Year of the Rabbit, as the number of self driving trips continued to rise, the recovery of consumption was also pressed with the "fast forward button". Automotive manufacturing, as one of the important industries, will face new opportunities and challenges. The rise of new energy vehicles has brought a brand new driving experience. Parallel to this is the advanced demand from users for new and old car making forces in terms of riding experience. How to achieve flexible production of automotive interiors and exteriors in the face of constantly optimizing and innovating product designs? How should production enterprises calmly respond? Festo automation technology comes to assist. For example, just a set of mechanical arm end tools (EOAT) that combine gas and electricity can meet the flexible and stable grasping of irregular car lampshades, helping manufacturers achieve efficient, energy-saving, and digital production to ensure a new driving experience.
To adapt to this change, various enterprises need to design multiple sets of fixtures for different sizes of the same product during the production process for demolding or gripping. The Festo EOAT robot arm end tool, with its simplicity, ease of use, and flexibility in executing tasks, has become an essential and reliable assistant for various automotive companies.
By simply replacing the robotic arm end tool (EOAT) locally to perform various gripping tasks, the number of end grippers is reduced, reducing hardware costs while saving time for fixture replacement.
With the digital control of Motion Terminal, the operation process becomes simpler and the goal of flexible production is easily achieved.
Traditional electric drive systems require the installation of independent servo drives in the control cabinet, and the commissioning process is cumbersome and time-consuming. Festo provides an overall control system solution to address this issue, making design and debugging more convenient.
The Festo simple electric drive system adopts an integrated design of driver and motor. Among them, the CPX-AP-I remote control system provides one-stop service from the top communication control to the bottom execution unit, greatly saving communication modules, being compact and flexible, and can also greatly optimize IO Link devices. Paired with DHWF single finger cylinders, components can be accurately grasped even in narrow spaces.
Meanwhile, in response to the wave of digital production upgrades, the SMS Easy Sport series supports the IO Link communication protocol, thereby achieving more advanced features. Meet the application scenarios of phased stops or multi-point positioning, upgrade functions, and fully demonstrate cost-effectiveness advantages.
