Discover how Aritex designs and commissions automated body assembly lines, from the RFQ stage through to the start of series production.
Sector Automotive
This project is the result of combining the reuse of existing lines and the integration of new lines with the aim of manufacturing the different parts of the body. A semi-automatic manufacturing process using geometry tools, which play a fundamental role in the assembly of the different parts that will form, joined together, the complete assembly.
To ensure efficient production, robotic joining applications have been implemented on the production lines. These allow greater precision and speed in the assembly of the different assemblies, thus ensuring the quality of the final product.
In addition, the production lines are equipped with a complex programming system, specifically designed to produce up to 73 different van variants, demonstrating the flexibility and adaptability of the manufacturing process in this project.
Challenge to solve
Aiming to optimize productivity on assembly lines and ensure the quality of the final product, while maintaining a safe working environment for employees within an automated process.
Proposed solution
Carrying out a detailed analysis of the production process and developing a viable and efficient solution, designing an optimized layout adapted to the space available for the client’s needs. Adding the use of off-line simulation, which guarantees the correct execution of production through an automatic and robotized process.
Execution
The project focused on the development and manufacture of the means of production necessary to produce pre-series parts, as well as the final quality control of the product in accordance with the quality standards required by the company. In addition, it was responsible for the installation and start-up of the project with the assistance of a team of professional experts in different specialties, trained in the client’s own standards.
