Four Fanuc RJ3iB systems interface with a two cell PLCs, and
control the gluing equipment and an measurment system developed
in conjunction with the main contractor, Cimac International.
The front and rear windscreens are glued and installed fully
automatically - the measurement systems each use 6 strip lasers
to measure points on the vehicle, and the robots adjust the insertion
position based on these measurements.
An additional laser striping device is used to monitor the bead
of glue as it is applied to the glass, to ensure there are no
gaps which would compromise not only the water-tighntess of the
vehicle, but also its structural integrity. |
