It operates without supervision, supports various part dimensions and is low-maintenance with minimal energy consumption. The system is built to last 20 years without requiring software or hardware updates.
Robotic coating applications have expanded beyond the automotive sector into industries like metal transformation, enhancing productivity and product quality. IRBS develops long-lasting solutions focused on improving human quality of life. Launched in 2010, their robotic systems are designed for continuous 24/7/365 operation, with no supervision required. These systems ensure 100% traceability, standardize product quality and significantly increase productivity. They are adaptable to different part dimensions and require minimal maintenance, designed to last 20 years without software or hardware updates.
IRBS has installed this double robotized cell, which has the positioner model with the highest performance in the market. This positioner adds to the 6 axes of the robot, 2 external axes which give more freedom to the process. Another advantage is that this positioner allows the loading of parts while the robot is welding, which doubles productivity.
This new robotic arc welding cell for thin-gauge metal sheets incorporates the latest welding technology, further solidifying IRBS as a market leader. Designed for 24/7/365 continuous processes, it increases productivity by 120%, standardizes product quality and eliminates the need for post-weld seam polishing. With MES integration, 100% traceability at each step and minimal maintenance, it ensures zero rejections. The system is built to last 20 years without software or hardware updates, offering quick, easy upkeep and adaptability to various production needs.
The Robotic Machine Tending Solution developed by IRBS is designed to boost production by simultaneously feeding multiple CNC lathes. This turnkey solution features a double gripper to optimize cycle time and a retrieval device for parts requiring multiple operations. A four-tray input system allows for several hours of autonomy. The system operates continuously 24/7, integrated with MES for complete traceability, ensuring zero rejections and a 60% productivity increase. It’s designed for quick maintenance and long-term use, lasting 20 years without updates.
The Robotized Casting system brings cutting-edge technology to the aluminum casting process, which is highly demanding for humans. By implementing this solution, companies see a 40% monthly production increase, standardized part quality, improved employee working conditions and a 100% increase in employee productivity. This pursuit of excellence, along with world-class equipment, positions these companies as market leaders in their field.
When cutting with plasma, industrial robots offer an advantage over typical pantographs or dedicated cutting machines, since an industrial robot has 6 degrees of freedom, which provides the possibility of, for example, making cuts on tubes or parts that are not flat. It should also be noted that a robot achieves precision within a thousandth of a millimetre.
Another advantage of plasma cutting with an industrial robot is also the speed in which a production change can be made, since the next piece is simply selected by clicking on the software developed by IRBS and once the part is located the beginning of the cutting process is immediate.
The Robotic Tubes Packing Cell is designed to meet the highest industry safety standards, offering unmatched flexibility and quick setup adjustments. It operates continuously 24/7, packing 150 tubes per hour with dimensions ranging from 3000 to 6000 mm in length and 35 to 114 mm in diameter. The system is MES integrated for full traceability, ensuring product quality standardization and eliminating rejections. With a 70% productivity increase, it requires minimal maintenance and is built to last for 20 years without software or hardware updates.
IRBS developed an automated palletizing system for sucker rods, capable of handling rods up to 30 feet long and 1 ½ inches in diameter. The system offers flexible programming for different rod and pallet configurations. It includes a robust safety system with double-chain locks, optical barriers to detect operators and mechanical protection to prevent collisions during pallet removal. This solution increased productivity by 60%, standardized rod packaging quality and improved employee working conditions, all while integrating with MES systems for optimized performance.
