FORGING

Forging is automated with the use of anthropomorphic robots, which pick up the element at a high temperature by manipulating it in the various press strokes. A P optimizes the system by covering the gripping fingers with highly resistant refractory material, so as not to lower the temperature of the points of contact with the element. The arms that bring the gripping fingers are liquid cooled, acting as a heat shield to the heat towards the robot's kinematics. Italy 2001 ® Febo AP 2001

Automation for press unloading is performed using two technologies, Cartesian robots in the simplest cases (now increasingly less frequent) or with the use of anthropomorphic robots. The anthropomorphic robots can be positioned on the edge of the press or installed above the press (fixed mold side) giving the possibility to perform various operations: Inserting elements into the mold for co-molding Finishing the element after unloading, such as sprue cuts, finishing cuts, plastic processing, mechanical processing, flaming etc. During the press cycle in masked time. Quality control with cameras Installed systems: Italy, Spain, Belgium, Germany.

With the Laser sensor the heights of the Layers are obtained, and the planes, even if inclined, the robot adapts to the plane detected by the Laser sensor. positions of the camshafts to be picked up.With the first gripper, the robot picks up the second gripper, passing it the electrical and pneumatic power supplies, for gripping the flats and intermediate layers.Automatic pallet changing system guarantees work continuity. Marpos control for the correction of the tolerances of the elements machined by the machine tool, through an algorithm with a derived base.

ALUMINUM DIE CASTING

Die casting is completely automated also for presses up to 4.500T for castings ranging from 5 Kg to 500Kg. The A P Febo patents in this sector are many: From the insertion of the rods, Objectifications, Sprue cuts and wells, Cooling, Deburring, Mold thermoregulation control. Machined quality controls with digital vision. Installed systems: Italy, Poland, Brazil, USA. ® Febo AP 1998, 2000, 2003, 2011.

ALABAMA

In this video you can see the first robotic automation in the die-casting sector in 1998, made in USA Alabama, in the Teksid plant which later became Nemak, and then continued in a long series of plants all over the world.

The customer and the operators were so enthusiastic and happy, also demonstrating it with a nice ballet that can be seen at the end of the video. 😊🕺 13 plants were subsequently built for the same customer in the same plant in Alabama.

INTERPRESSES

Each single molding press is loaded and unloaded automatically by anthropomorphic robots. In the cases of various presses in sequence, the element passage between the presses is performed by the robots as quickly as possible. In 2003 A P Febo patents a robotic gripper that increases the exchange and passage speed. A P provides complete automation from sheet metal to final palletization. Installed systems: Italy, Spain, Belgium, USA (Alabama, Tennessee, Detroit), Germany (with Muller Supplier Presse). ® Febo AP 2003.

RIVETING Total automation,

with automatic interlocking of rivets or nails by vibrating feeders, with moving elements under the press. Fully automated islands with quality control of the rivets inserted, through digital vision. Quality control is connected to the company's quality control systems via a PC network, adapting to the customer's existing systems. Italy 2007 First plant for rear truck sleepers to use rivets instead of welds. ® Febo AP 2007.

WELDING

Projection and wire welding islands complete with robotic handling and energy control delivered during the welding process. The quality control takes place through digital cameras and non-destructive tear-proof mechanical controls, working within the ranges allowed by the customer's design. Installed plants: Italy, Brazil, Poland, Spain, Belgium, Germany, Russia (Kaluga). Welding of Volvo aluminum tanks. ® Febo AP 2000. News - Laser welding

LASER WELDING News

Laser Welding Many advantages compared to the typical spot welding, with only one disadvantage, the price.

INDUCTION HARDENING

Automatic cells dedicated to the type of elements, including suitable equipment. Robotized islands for various different elements for small and medium variable productions, managed by a digital camera for anthropomorphic robots, with electrically insulated automatic gripper change. Single or multi-pole induction heads. Installed systems: Italy, Europe in general (Through customers Suppliers of heating heads) ® Febo AP 2000.

CLINCING (TOXATURA)

Clincing cells consist of joining two elements without welding, gluing or riveting. Automation consists in taking the elements from a warehouse and bringing them under the Toxatura machine in the various 3D sizes required by the customer's design. In cases where the toxing point coincides with the robotic gripper, an element recovery station is inserted, in order to guarantee the finished product. As in other sectors, 100% quality control is performed by digital cameras. Italy. 2000

Palletizing

The Bottom Line A P, provides robotic palletizers for any type of material from packaging to bags for cement factories, flours, granules, fertilizers, etc. to any type of packaging in boxes. The long A P experiences cover palletizations for elements ranging from a few grams up to 1000 kg, using anthropomorphic robots. For heavier weights, tailor-made palletizers can be studied. Installed systems: Italy and the rest of Europe.

Special Palletization

Analyzing the customer's needs, we always propose simple and effective solutions.

We seek simplicity by facilitating the maintenance parts, thus obtaining very low MTBF - MTTR, limiting the time for interventions and maintenance.

Customer - Tetrapak and Italpak.

Flexible Palletization (Patents ® AP 1998 - 2013 - 2016)

From the 2000s onwards A   P has developed palletizers with vision systems, in order to palletise different types of packages.

Create the platform with packages of very different weight and size, thanks to an algorithm developed to simulate the creation of the platforms by simulating size and weight, guiding the robots in building the platforms leaving the heaviest weights down.

Furthermore, in 2016 AP patents a robotic gripper that can pick up very heavy packs using a very low force between the gripping fingers, saving the integrity of the box also at a visual level.



One of the 3 patents in particular consists of:

in being able to reduce or increase the coefficient of friction between the gripping fingers automatically based on the size and weight to be handled.

So that the gripper can enter between the packs during picking by sliding smoothly, and then turn into high friction in picking conditions.
