Dynamic Assembly Pack

ABB offers game-changing solution to automotive OEMs looking to increase final trim and assembly productivity and automation

What is Dynamic Assembly Pack?
Currently less than five per cent of Final Trim Assembly benefits from robotic automation. ABB’s new Dynamic Assembly Pack is an industry game changer. By enabling complex tasks to be handled safely, quickly and with the highest precision in a moving line environment, our new Dynamic Assembly Pack unlocks the next level of automation, helping automotive manufacturers significantly enhance their productivity and competitiveness.

Benefits

Easily integrates into existing or new lines

Fully automated cell increases automation level and flexibility

Scalable, replicable modular cell

Improves productivity, ergonomics and quality

Innovating technology

Designed to offer a fast, flexible, accurate and safe automated solution for installing anything from seats, dashboards and carpets inside vehicle bodies, to doors, bumpers and wheels outside the vehicle, ABB’s new Dynamic Assembly Pack for Final Trim and Assembly (FTA) combines real time vision cameras on the robot gripper and arms with integrated force control sensors to allow the robot to precisely track the position of the car body as it enters the workstation.

Dynamic Assembly Pack is a solution that includes Universal Vision Tracking (UVT) and Compliant Vision Guidance (CVG).

Universal Vision Tracking (UVT) synchronizes robot with assembly line, allowing the robot to track the position of the car body as it enters the workstation on an AGV or conveyor.

*Compliant Vision Guidance (CVG) combines real-time vision cameras on the robot gripper and arms with integrated force control sensors to enable any ABB industrial robot to sense the speed and exact location of the vehicle body so it can immediately respond to changes in the production flow, amending its movements and speed to match.

A vehicle’s final trim and assembly (FTA) is one of the least automated areas of automotive manufacturing because of technical challenges. While many manufacturing steps have already been automated in cycle mode, the degree of automation in continuously moving assembly lines is still very low as cars are constantly in motion, with low cycle times. Here, flexible and scalable automation solutions are in demand; ones that, if required, can also take on completely new processes.

The primary challenge of state-of-the-art FTA is completing several vehicles in a row on a single line and covering the entire assembly process – for example, the installation of doors, cockpit, seats, and carpets on a single line. This results in further advantages, such as cost savings, quality, and ergonomics improvement.

The complexity of assembly tasks and speed of a final trim and assembly production line has always limited the application of robotic automation, so FTA has always had a much lower level of automation compared to other production areas in an automotive factory, such as body-in-white, painting and powertrain. Today less than five per cent of FTA benefits from robotic automation.
