According to foreign media reports, in Audi's Ingolstadt factory, workers work side by side with robots , and there is no fence in the factory, forming a human-machine collaboration (HRC) model. When the Audi RS5Coupe roof was installed, the workers completed the application of the adhesive with the aid of the KLARA robot. In addition, the roof is made of carbon fiber reinforced composite (CFRP). This marks the first time that Audi has configured HRC lightweight robots for its Ingolstadt plant to provide adhesive coating operations during the final assembly of the vehicle. Currently, Audi has deployed similar robots to the Ingolstadt plant, the Brussels plant and the engine assembly plant in Gy?r. Adhesive coating process for CFRP roof First, the employee placed the roof made of carbon fiber reinforced composite material on a rotary table to keep the table tilted. Then, hold down the button and trigger the adhesive spray operation. Finally, the KLARA robot will perform adhesive spraying on the roof of more than 5 meters. After the spraying is completed, the robot will signal that the roof is ready to be installed. The workers then removed the roof with a handling device and installed it in the vehicle. The CFRP roof is an option for the new Audi RS5Coupe, which is larger than comparable roof systems. As a result, individual employees cannot perform adhesive application operations reliably and accurately as KLARA robots. Application advantages of KLARA robots Unlike conventional robots, KLARA eliminates the need for guard rails, which means that humans and machines collaborate on the same work site, which greatly saves the footprint of the assembly line and integrates HRC into the production line. For this type of human-computer collaboration, employee safety is a top priority. In the cooperation, the workers always control the overall situation, the adhesive coating instructions are issued by the workers, and the process can be suspended at any time. The robot's robot arm is equipped with a sensor that automatically stops its operation when it is detected that there is a danger in the work area. KLARA can also indicate danger through an illuminated ring, and when the ring turns red, it indicates an interference behavior. According to Audi, all equipment components are pre-installed on the baseplate, making it easy for KLARA robots to complete installation and operation in a short period of time. If the current assembly line is not disturbed, the integration of the robot will be completed. If other methods are used to apply adhesive to the roof of the new model, both energy and cost will be much higher.
