Abstract
A process for manufacturing wall elements from nailable and/or stapleable materials, in which a wall element frame is positioned on a horizontal worktable. Wall panels are placed on the frame and the wall panels are fastened to the frame by nails and/or staples, which are driven by a compressed air setting device. A mobile robot—in particular an autonomous mobile robot—has a compressed air setting device and/or at least one milling unit and is movable on the surface formed by the wall panels. The robot motion is automatically controlled along the surface formed by the wall panels. At predetermined positions, the milling unit and/or the compressed air setting device is actuated to process the wall panels and/or to fasten them to the wall element frame.
Claims18
A process for manufacturing wall elements from nailable and/or stapleable materials, the method comprising the steps of:
- positioning a wall element frame (5) of a wall element to be produced on a horizontal worktable (1);
- placing wall panels (6) on the wall element frame (5);
- providing a mobile robot (7) carrying at least one of a compressed-air setting device (8) and a milling unit (9), the mobile robot freely movably positionable on a surface formed by the wall panels (6);
- providing a central controller (4) controlling the mobile robot (7) and the at least one of the compressed-air setting device (8) and the milling unit (9);
- the wall panels (6) are to be fastened to the wall element frame (5) by nails and/or staples driven in by the compressed air setting device (8);
- the mobile robot (7) automatically moveable by the central controller (4) along the surface formed by the wall panels (6);
- and
- actuating automatically by the central controller at predetermined positions of the mobile robot (7), at least one of the milling unit (9) and the compressed air setting device (8) in order to process the wall panels (6) and/or to fasten the wall panels (6) to the wall element frame (5).
