About
Probably the most precise robot for aerospace manufacturing
Various applications in the composite manufacturing industry are requiring precise and rigid kinematics to guide the corresponding End of Arm Tool (EOAT) along curved edges and spherical surfaces. As standard industrial robots are not designed based on this prerequisite, FILL has developed the ACCUBOT. Based on the powerful path planning capabilities of the SIEMENS Sinumerik 840D sl controller, the mechanics from STÄUBLI has been extended with direct measuring systems on the robotic joints to get rid of backlash and other negative impacts caused by the gear.
Applying Secondary Encoders is the key to generate a deterministic behaviour of the serial kinematics, minimize the repeatability error and thus enhancing the quality of the absolute calibration which is applied subsequently.
The combination of this secondary encoders together with a sophisticated compensation based on a high order kinematic model calculated in real time in the interpolation cycle of the controller leads in an industry leading absolute positioning accuracy of less than 0,15mm (mean). The ACCUBOT is consequently the perfect base for any kind of path- or surface-based CAD/CAM processes in the aerospace manufacturing industry.
Using a state-of-the-art industrial controller is the best base to provide solutions and applications for our customers, satisfying the stringent requirements of the global aviation industry. Having all level of the cell control in one controller, even several robots, is crucial for minimum loss of cycle time due to handshake and controller / controller communication.
