In 2016, LASIT created a robotic system for laser marking engine block castings with an anthropomorphic ABB robot with six axes integrated in a cell.
The collaboration with ABB has allowed us to create an innovative system with technology capable of implementing the productivity of one of the largest and most famous Italian Automotive companies.
The epicenter of this laser system is the welded steel cell housing the 20kg ABB robot arm which is able with its 6 axes to reach any position on the exposed sides of the casting, ensuring maximum flexibility for code laser marking.
After the regular finishing operations, the operators load the castings on the three shuttles which enter into the cell one by one.
Each shuttle is moved by means of a Siemens servomotor equipped with a rectified rack and is equipped with a scanning system which verifies the shape of the piece and its position.
Each station has its own console, while a fourth one is used for set-up and diagnostics.
