Abstract

Wire harness manufacturing in the aeronautic sector is highly manual work, with production defined by multiple references and small batches. Although complete automation of the production process is not feasible, a robot-assisted approach could increase the efficiency of the existing production means. This paper presents a novel dual-arm robotic solution for workbench configuration and cable routing during the initial steps of wire harness manufacturing. Based on the CAD information of the wire harness, the proposed framework generates trajectories in real-time to complete the initial manufacturing tasks, dividing automatically the whole job between both robots. The presented approach has been validated in a production environment using different wire harness references, obtaining promising results and metrics.

基于cad的航空线束制造机器人编程解决方案

航空领域的线束制造是高度手工工作，生产由多个参考和小批量定义。虽然生产过程的完全自动化是不可行的，但机器人辅助的方法可以提高现有生产手段的效率。本文提出了一种新型的双臂机器人解决方案，用于线束制造初期的工作台配置和电缆布线。该框架基于线束的CAD信息，实时生成轨迹以完成初始制造任务，并在两个机器人之间自动划分整个任务。所提出的方法已在使用不同线束参考的生产环境中进行了验证，获得了令人满意的结果和指标。
