BestFit – inos SIR HPFIT

inos HPFIT is the optimal solution for robot guided assembly of attached parts is the automotive production lines

     

Body in White: Doors, Hoods, Roofs, Fenders etc.

For a fast and high precision assembly of attached parts the inos HPFIT (High Precision Fitting) is being used world wide. In body in white e.g. for doors, hoods and roofs.

Assembly line: Front Windows, Rear Windows, Side Windows, Glass Roofs, Glass Modules, Seats, Cockpits etc.

inos HPFIT is also being used in the assembly for the fitting of attached parts and heavier parts, which cannot be manipulated by workers.

Sensors on the gripper

inos HPFIT was the first BestFIT system in operation world wide with sensors on the gripper. Today it is one of the (or just the?) most versatile and robust system. This has been achieved by the production experience of several million doors to car body. This has been continuously feeded back into the design team and became available to the client by software and hardware improvements and new features sets. Sensors on the gripper allow a high flexibility of the door in the gripper and a high variance in the position of the car body. At the same time investment costs are reduced, as there is no need for additional steel frame to take the sensors, like for systems with static sensors.

Highest flexibility

Production lines with different car types or variants can be managed with one gripper only - as long as this is physically reasonable. The concept for adjustment can be parameterized according the specific requirements

Production proved since several Million car bodies

Since several year the inos HPFIT- systems quality is proven in continuous operation. They are also operated in rough environments like near to welding robots guns. The design of the iSENS-Sensors avoids the contamination of the camera and laser optics and by this ensures highest availability. The experience of the fitting of several millions of doors and hoods is incorporated in the design of the sensors and, the image processing software and the process design and control.

Efficient and simple maintenance and spare parts concept

Further features are the automatic check of function and accuracy of the sensors (checking mode), utilisability in welding environment, simple maintenance and repair concept high availability of the system via multi step redundancy ease of integration in existing quality insurance applications inos HPFIT systems are remote accessible for installation and maintenance.

Highest Process Reliability next to Cost Reduction

  • There is no need for steel constructions like for static sensors.
  • The gripper can simplified.
  • The system allows more tolerance in pick up position.
  • The system allows more tolerance in car body position.
  • The system is robust against temperature changes.
  • Priorities or weights can be set individually for every measurement feature.
  • The method allows different surface structures in one application; glass, steel, lacquer
  • The method is independent of specific robot suppliers.
