Project Overview
Motor stators have concentrated weight and demanding positioning requirements, while multi-station production requires equipment that can move flexibly between workstations.
AUREK uses a mobile-base structure with a custom base so one system can cover multiple workstations, reducing effort in repetitive handling and assembly assistance.
Key Parameters / Solution Details
| Workpiece | Motor Stator |
|---|---|
| Reference Weight | Medium-to-Heavy Workpieces |
| Equipment Configuration | Mobile-base Pneumatic Industrial Manipulator |
| Tooling Type | Custom Gripper / Internal Expanding Gripper |
| Required Motion | Gripping, lifting, movement and placement at designated positions |
| Industries | Motor Manufacturing, Assembly, Loading and Unloading |
Application Challenge
- Concentrated stator weight makes repeated manual handling strenuous and fatiguing.
- Fixed equipment has limited coverage in multi-station operations.
- Stator positioning requirements are high, making consistent manual placement difficult.
AUREK Solutions
- A mobile-base structure with a custom base allows flexible movement between workstations.
- The custom gripper securely handles stators of different sizes and maintains positioning during placement.
- The Pneumatic Industrial Manipulator carries the load, so the operator only needs to guide it, reducing physical effort.
Solution Value
- One system covers multiple workstations, improving equipment utilization.
- Reduce manual effort in repeatedly handling heavy stators.
- Improve positioning consistency and cycle-time stability during assembly loading and unloading.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should mobile-base and overhead-mounted configurations be selected?
Choose mobile-base for dispersed workstations requiring flexible transfer; choose overhead-mounted for fixed workstations with limited floor space.
Can one gripper accommodate multiple stator types?
Adjustable or quick-change grippers can be designed for a defined range of stator sizes.
Are there floor requirements for the mobile base?
The floor should be level and free of significant slopes and obstacles to support stable movement and positioning.
