Designing a Robot Cell
April 2012 – June 2012
Production of one (small) size of the control cabinet
Annual amount of cabinets: 55,000
1-shift ONLY
1 worker (the worker should be able to feed a second cell of the same type)
Use a handling robot and an external (stationary) weld gun and minimum one conveyor
220 working days per year, 7.5 hrs. per day excluding 0.5 hr. break.
Total availability of workers plus robot cell: 80%
Left, right, bottom and top plate of the control cabinet should be spot-welded
The back plate, door and hook are added manually afterwards. Not included in our task.less

2. Tasks and challenges
• Production of one (small) size of the control cabinet
• Annual amount of cabinets: 55,000
• 1-shift ONLY
• 1 worker (the worker should be able to feed a second cell of the same
type)
• Use a handling robot and an external (stationary) weld gun and
minimum one conveyor
• 220 working days per year, 7.5 hrs. per day excluding 0.5 hr. break.
• Total availability of workers plus robot cell: 80%
• Left, right, bottom and top plate of the control cabinet should be spot-
welded
• The back plate, door and hook are added manually afterwards. Not
included in our task.
3. Yearly Demand = 55,000
Daily Production =55,000 / 220
Units per Day = 250 Units / Day
7.5 Hours / Day with 80% availability.
Available time, considering 220 day per year, working 7.5 Hours a day with 80% availability
= (220)*(7.5)*(3600)*(0.8)
= 4752000 Sec.
Time Available for each cabinet comes out to be 86.4 Sec.(4752000/55,000 )
If we consider the time loss due to the faulty pieces in raw material or else, if try to produce 2%
more than the desired amount so that we can reach our goal with comfort then:
4752000/(55,000 + 2% of 55000) = 84.7 sec.
Available time
4. Choices for machinery
• Use of turn tables or conveyor for material transport in
and out of the cell?
• Use of multiple Weld guns?
• Use of multiple Robots?
• Which Robot?
• Standard safety features.
Note : Stainless steel (2.5*2 + 6.5*2) kilos (parts)
plus 10 – 15 kilos (fixture) = 30 - 35 kilos in total.
5. Our Approach
Process Equipments
• Two Conveyors for material transport.
• One Robot(KR 100).
• Single specially designed Weld gun.
• Designed Fixtures.
• Grooves to hold the input in precise positions (Increase in
Scrap)
• Conveyor position.
8. Customer Demand :
Yearly Demand = 55,000
Daily Production = 55,000 / 220 = 250 Units per Day
Rejection Rate = 2%
Yearly Demand including Rejection = 1.02*55000 = 56100
Production Demand :
Working Hours / Day = 7.5
Overall availability of robot + worker = 80% = 0.8
Working Days per Year = 220
Theoritical Production Cycle Time in seconds = (220*7.5*0.8*60*60) / 56100
= 84.71
Parts to be produced per Day = 56100 / 220 = 255
9. Work contributions per cycle
Worker
Idle
Robot
Key Results from Gantt Diagram:
Robot Cycle Time = 68.2 seconds
Worker Cycle Time = 73.5 seconds
Overall Cycle Time = 73.5 seconds
Worker Utilization Rate = 86.77 %
Robot Utilization Rate = 80.51 %
Working Hours per Day = 5.21 hours
11. Safety measures taken
The design of the robot cell should be such that nobody could
be hurt by movements of robot/machines or processes inside
the cell.
A decent balance between the investment in safety measures
and the risk of injury.
Simple, robust and reliable.
• Fence ,to secure the area of operation
• Light curtain above (sufficient height adjusted for the desired
object) the conveyor belt. If any entity trespass through the
curtain the machine stops working and the lamp turns on)
• Light lamp, indicates any error or state.
