Assessment of the Automation Efficiency of Manufacturing the “Body” Part with Integration of KUKA Robotic Systems
摘要
The article presents the results of a study on the efficiency of automation complex for manufacturing the “Body” (housing) parts using the investment casting method with the integration of the KUKA production system. A comparative analysis of options for organizing the technological process has been carried out (traditional with complex automation based on KUKA robots). The study is based on a systems approach, including mathematical and virtual modeling as well as experimental studies on pilot batches of parts. The results of the study demonstrate a significant increase in technological indicators with complex automation: manufacturing accuracy has been increased by 3.5 times, the level of defects has been lowered from 10.5% to 1.2%, and the duration of the production cycle has been reduced by more than 3 times.
