Abstract(s)
A introdução de robótica em certos postos de trabalho apresenta não só uma melhoria nas condições de trabalho dos operadores, mas também um aumento na eficiência da indústria onde é aplicada. Um exemplo de indústria onde a robótica tem esta influência é a fundição. Os operadores deste tipo de indústria estão sujeitos a ambientes muito agressivos que põem em causa a sua saúde, sendo que são, também, trabalhos muito repetitivos, podendo causar diversas lesões. Este projeto baseia-se no desenvolvimento de sete células robotizadas que têm como objetivo a implementação das melhorias referidas no parágrafo anterior. Estas células utilizam dois manipuladores industriais de seis eixos, da empresa de robótica Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), utilizados para realizar a extração de peças de alumínio de uma máquina injetora, e, de seguida, a lubrificação da mesma. De modo a obter-se o nível de conhecimento necessário à implementação deste projeto, realizaram-se pesquisas relacionadas com robótica industrial e todos os componentes essenciais ao desenvolvimento de uma célula robotizada, efetuou-se um estudo relacionado com programação de robôs e foi realizada, também, uma pesquisa relativa à robótica na indústria da fundição. Após as pesquisas efetuou-se a implementação das sete células robotizadas. Desenvolveu-se, primeiro, a simulação, com a utilização do ABB RobotStudio, validando-se todos os componentes. De seguida, efetuou-se o desenvolvimento do código dos 14 robôs e demonstrou-se a sua utilização na célula real. Os resultados pretendidos com a realização deste projeto foram alcançados. A realização deste trabalho permitiu a obtenção de conhecimentos relativos à robótica industrial, programação de robôs e a sua interação com os diversos dispositivos de uma célula robotizada, assim como os benefícios que a automatização de processos traz às indústrias.
The introduction of robotics in certain jobs presents not only an improvement in the work conditions of the operators, but also an increase in the efficiency of the industry where this introduction occurs. An example of industry where robotics has this influence is the foundry. The operators who work in this type of industry are subject to very aggressive environments which put their health in question, in addition, this type of work is very repetitive, which can cause various injuries. This project is based on the development of seven robotic solutions that have as objective the implementation of the improvements referred in the previous paragraph. These solutions are composed by two six-axis industrial manipulators from the robotics company Asea Brown Boveri (ABB), used to carry out the extraction of aluminium parts from a injection machine, and then lubricating it. In order to obtain the level of knowledge necessary to implement this project, researches about the following subjects were made: industrial robotics; all the necessary components in a robotic cell; robot programming and robotics in the foundry industry. After the research, the implementation of the seven robotic cells began. Firstly, the offline simulation was developed, using ABB RobotStudio, with all components being validated. Finally, the development of the code for the 14 industrial robots and its use in the real cell was shown. The intended results with the implementation of this project were fulfilled. The implementation of this project allowed the obtaining of knowledge related to industrial robotics, robot programming and its interaction with the several devices that make up a robotized cell, as well as the benefits process automation brings to industries.
