Process Overview
This case study demonstrates the installation of a KUKA KMP 1500P logistics robot at Bigwave Robotics (Marosol) to transport rollers and scrap debris within the space manufacturing facility. The KMP 1500P autonomously handles up to 1 ton of scrap debris over a 1.2 km distance and automatically transports heavy-duty roller modules weighing up to 1 ton. Furthermore, sensors embedded in the KMP 1500P enabled the development of an unmanned system capable of safely transporting heavy-duty materials.
Project Background and Purpose
- Automated unmanned transport using autonomous robots
- Robots perform simple, repetitive tasks
- Safe operation of heavy-duty products using various sensors
- Remote control and monitoring using SOLlink
Components
- Robot
KUKA KMP 1500P *2
- Peripherals
2 automatic robot charging stations; 1 manual robot charging station; 1 hardware PC for KUKA robot server; 1 license for KUKA robot server; 2 SOLlink tablet controllers; 1 SOLlink server; 5 robot transport carts; 10 cart stations
Workflow
- STEP 1.
- Loading of carts in the departure area (loading area)
- STEP 2.
- Work command via SOLlink (tablet)
- STEP 3.
- Loading carts in the departure area using a robot lift
- STEP 4.
- Transporting carts to the destination area
- STEP 5.
- Unloading carts using a robot lift
- STEP 6.
- Setting automatic charging during non-work hours
- STEP 7.
- Charging
- STEP 8.
- Waiting for work after recovering to the preset battery level
- STEP 9.
- When robots cross, give way to the robot with priority and then cross (priority granting criteria: order of work commands)
