Why robotic powerhead?
Automation and robotization bring great benefits and are a true game changers for future production. Robotic powerheads are here to deliver unbeatable ROI on these applications.
Growing product mix, system complexity, the changing role of humans, and needs for sustainability are common points of new assembly lines. Learn about the use of semi-automatic or robotic stations with high flexibility.
What is the tightening powerhead?
Powerhead is a device built for robots. It consists of a frame, spindles, controllers, cables and other parts to fits to your specific product. Powerheads respond to challenges in production linked with:
- free space availability
- need for equipment savings
- increasing uptime of the machinery
Robotic arm can swap among more powerheads. It covers more products or applications on a one station. Robot's purpose is to hold a complete powerhead and supply power and connectivity required for a system operation.
AWM Powerheads in Automotive - Automatic Wheel Nutrunner
Specific case of using the powerhead system is fully automated wheel assembly station. AWM stands for Automated Wheel Multiple powerhead.
Innovations in the automotive industry are opening up new ways to push flexibility and productivity even further. Now, it is possible to scan component by 3D vision system, adjust the spindle pitch and gripper to follow different wheel sizes. Automation has moved to the next level and this trend is becoming my new normal these days.
