Abstract

A method for assembling multicomponent items involves providing a first sub-assembly and a second sub-assembly, respectively picking, by a first manipulator arm and a second manipulator arm, the first and second sub-assemblies and bringing the first and second sub-assemblies to a mutual assembly position, assembling, by the first and second manipulator arms, the first and second sub-assemblies to form a joint assembly, sending a synchronous translation signal to the first and second manipulator arms, actuating a synchronous translation of the first and second manipulator arms and bringing the joint assembly to a receiving seat provided in a receiving component. An assembly station and an assembly line including the assembly station are provided.

Dependent claims

A method for assembling multicomponent items comprising a plurality of components, the method comprising the following steps:

a) providing a first sub-assembly comprising at least a first component and a second component and a second sub-assembly comprising at least a third component;
b) picking, by a first manipulator arm and a second manipulator arm, the first sub-assembly and the second sub-assembly, respectively, and bringing the first and second sub-assemblies to a mutual assembly position, wherein said first sub-assembly is in an assembly position with said second sub-assembly;
c) assembling, by said first and second manipulator arms, the first sub-assembly with the second sub-assembly to form a joint assembly;
d) sending, on an electronic control unit, a synchronous translation signal to the first and second manipulator arms;
and
e) actuating, as a function of said synchronous translation signal, a synchronous translation of said first and second manipulator arms, and bringing said joint assembly to a receiving seat provided in a receiving component, said receiving seat being suitable for receiving said joint assembly.

3 more elements

An assembly station for assembling multicomponent items starting from a first sub-assembly, a second sub-assembly, and a receiving component, said assembly station comprising:

a first manipulator arm suitable for picking said first sub-assembly from a respective picking zone;
a second manipulator arm suitable for picking said second sub-assembly from a respective picking zone;
and
a grabbing device suitable for accommodating the receiving component, the receiving component comprising a receiving seat suitable for receiving a joint assembly comprising said first sub-assembly and said second sub-assembly;
and
an electronic control unit operatively connected to said first and second manipulator arms, said electronic control unit being suitable for sending a synchronous translation signal to said first and second manipulator arms;
said first and second manipulator arms being suitable for assembling said first and second sub-assemblies for forming the joint assembly and being further suitable for being actuated in translation as a function of said synchronous translation signal, and for integrally translating towards said grabbing device for bringing said joint assembly to the receiving seat of said receiving component.
