Figure 3.1 2 Robots and 3 Positioners

 

(1)   Components of the positioner change system

-   System components: 2 robots + 3 positioners

-   Necessary equipment: ATC (Auto Tool Changer) for connecting individual positioners and

                                  robots. A Servo gun changer for the company’s robot.

          

(2)   Work content

-   The robot #1 is connected with the positioner A and then carries out work. The robot #2 carries out work with the positioner C. The operator needs to mount the work object to the positioner B.

-   When the work at each positioner is completed, the connection between the robot and the positioners need to ended.

-   When work at #3 is completed, the overall positioner system will rotate 120 degrees counterclockwise.

-   The robot #1 is connected with the positioner B and carries out work. The robot #2 carries out work with the positioner A. The operator mounts the work object to the positioner C.

-   The work needs to be repeated afterwards.

 

(3)   Caution

-   It is recommended to separate/connect each positioner at the same position if possible.
