SAMPLE PROJECTS
- ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY specializes in building systems for
manufacturing automotive components. Our customers manufacture a wide range
of interior and exterior components using our systems. The following
overview shows examples of some of these components.
A/B/C PILLARS
- One of ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY’s specialties is laser-cutting
pillar coverings for motor vehicles. These components, made with back
injection molded materials, must be cut very cleanly and precisely after the
injection molding process. They require a high level of path accuracy and a
clean, smooth cut features that are guaranteed by our laser robot.
ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY’s complete system solutions ensure a high level of process
security and fast applications.
FILMS
- The back injection molding process for film components is
gaining popularity in the automotive industry. Before the injection process,
the film is cut using laser systems from ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY. It is important
for this process to be clean and extremely precise. ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY’s
scanner technology, combined with the laser robot or the FLACS.SCAN,
guarantees these characteristics. In addition, we have built up a wealth of
expertise in the area of fixture building, which is combined with vacuum
technology to form the basis for this process.
BUMPER
- In processing automotive bumpers, ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY offers
systems for removing the bumper from the injection molding machine as well
as laser systems for cutting the different variants. Shelf-type robots are
often used for removing parts from the injection molding machine; they also
perform follow-up tasks, such as sprue cutting, flaming, creating variants,
etc. The laser-cutting systems produce various chrome liner versions,
license-plate designs, cutouts for exhaust-gas cleaning systems and hitch
fittings. The advantage is that the different variants can be realized in a
highly precise way after painting, and without post-processing.
I-PANEL
- The processing of I-panels involves various tasks. With
our laser systems, ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY allows for edge cutting, cutouts in the
center area and airbag perforations.
TRUNK LINING
- A significant application area for laser-cutting systems
is cutting the linings for car trunks. The rear injection molded carpet
needs to be cut perfectly to size. Often, this also involves cutouts for CD
players, GPS systems, etc. Our systems are highly flexible in this area.
STEERING WHEEL
- Laser-cutting systems from ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY are used in
creating variants of steering wheels. Laser cutting allows for
cost-effective realization of highly flexible components that do not require
post-processing.
HEADLIGHT HOUSING
- Our FLACS.SCAN laser-cutting system is an optimal
processing system for creating variants of headlight housings. Our systems
technology also guarantees a high level of precision in hard-to-reach areas.
Stamping equipment would not be suitable here because of the complex angles.
MIRROR HOUSING
- Injection molded mirror housings are removed by 6-axis
robots. Here our systems offer a high level of flexibility, fast removal and
a high level of process security.
REAR WINDOW SHELF
- In general, rear window shelves with fabric decorations
cannot be processed using stamping equipment. Stamping equipment is not
flexible enough, and it does not make clean cuts. Laser systems allow these
components to be manufactured with a high level of precision and without
filament formation.
TELEPHONE COVER
- The FLACS.SCAN laser-cutting system is optimal for
cutting films, for instance to be used with telephone covers. Our systems
allow you to achieve shorter intervals and higher quality standards than
ever before.
SEPARATION WALL / TRUNK
- The plastic components, back injection molded with needle
fleece, are processed with laser-cutting systems from ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY.
For instance, our systems execute the edge cutting and the cutouts for
creating variants. The advantage is a very clean, precise-edged cut.
DOOR MODULE
- In processing door modules, ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY offers
systems for a wide variety of components. For instance, we can perforate
windowsills in order to allow later vacuum sealing, cut door inserts for
later welding, and process back injection molded arm rests with precise
edges. For these components, a clean, smooth cut is essential for later
high-quality use.
DOOR MODULE PITCHING
- In a subsequent process, door modules are covered by a
film. This requires vacuum holes to be made. The vacuum holes are created
very quickly and precisely using our FLACS.SCAN laser-cutting system.
The holes have a very small diameter and are no longer visible after they are covered. The laser
process also makes it possible to avoid burr formation.
CYLINDER HEAD GASKET
- Cylinder head gaskets manufactured with a metal-rubber
composite usually need to be cut after the injection process.
ROBOT-TECHNOLOGY’s FLACS.SCAN laser-cutting system is used here to guarantee
fast, highly precise cutting. A simple reprogramming process allows a wide
variety of variants to be cut in a very short amount of time.
