CMO, a leading company in the field of hydraulic equipment, known for its reliability among the world's most prestigious car repairers and original equipment manufacturers.
A robot cell installed by a third-party integrator that was not working and did not meet CMO's production requirements.
CMO, one of the leading companies in the field of hydraulic equipment, decided to integrate a robot cell into its machine park to increase market competitiveness and improve production efficiency. However, the island installed by a third-party integrator was not working properly, presenting significant malfunctions.
The cell, which was installed three years ago, has never been able to function in unmanned mode.
It consists of the following elements:
After a discussion with the customer, it was decided to take action on the problems highlighted without redesigning the island due to the costly investment.
During the first meeting with the customer, our technical team conducted an in-depth analysis and identified two main obstacles to the operation of the island:
The Schunk gripper set-up installed on the robot wrist was not suitable for the working environment, as the wiring of the sensors on board the gripper did not have sufficient IP insulation. The Schunk gripper installed on the robot was not working properly, not sending open/closed gripper feedback signals, stopping the robot cycle.
Solution
Perform a new gripper set-up in-house, using material suitable for the working environment.
Existing situation
Overhauled gripper

Issue: the magazine not suitable for all workpiece geometries in the plant. The robot was colliding when taking and unloading parts from the magazine. In addition, there were problems with the positioning of the aluminium blocks, causing errors in the machining dimensions.

Thanks to the implemented solutions, the robot cell is now working properly again, allowing CMO to make full use of its investment without having to rebuild the entire cell. Our intervention enabled the customer to improve production efficiency by solving the technical problems that were preventing the robot cell from working properly.
