Industrial competence: Agriculture Solutions for automated welding and cutting in agricultural machinery manufacturing

"Something said briefly can be the fruit of much long thought." Friedrich Nietzsche

We understand your business The requirements for agricultural machinery changed fundamentally in recent years. The rapidly-growing world population with advancing urbanisation and changed nutritional habits require solutions which enable better usage of the limited agricultural space available. Reliability, user-friendliness and high mobility are essential for modern tractors and other machinery used in the agricultural and forestry industries. Components must be made of materials which enable lightweight construction for maximum possible energysavings. At the same time, they must withstand extreme...

Fully-automated to the tiniest detail

Project description The complex production line for tractor cabs comprises both manual and automatic chained systems. The line is approx. 70 meters long and encapsulates the entire MAG welding process from small assemblies to the final cab in a range of variants. The system with QRC350-type QIROX robots is setup time-free and perfectly coordinated.

Industry solutions Three QRC-E 350- and QRC 350-type QIROX robots weld the different cab variants Project description The automatic handling technology ensures seamless component transport between the different manufacturing stages. The result: optimal logistics paths, short cycle times and minimum space requirements for allocation areas. Robots, workpiece positioners and manual welding technology work hand-in-hand.

Industry solutions All systems are designed as multi-stational systems Offline-programming is carried out with the RoboPlan software from CLOOS The different cab variants can be welded without conversions or set-up changes Highlights xcellent efficiency due to optimum product quality E and perfectly matched components o downtimes for programming and maintenance N igh welding speeds and reliable root formation H aximum productivity due to multi-stational concept M thanks to innovative CLOOS welding technology ensors and software guarantee efficiency and quality S

Industry solutions The Moduliner from Kuhn with Maxipacker roller Project description Fully-automated robot production lines for the welding of fork arms for packer rollers. The steel rollers are collected from a chain belt by a conveyor system and transferred to the welding station. Two CLOOS robots (QRC 350), fitted with gripping system and welding torches, collect the fork arms to be welded from a defined location, place them on the roller and commence the joining or welding process automatically. Uniquely, the fork arms are sorted fully automatically as bulk materials and transported in the...

Industry solutions The welding torches with gripping system locate the fork arms on the roller and carry out welding Micro-section of weld in Speed Weld process Two QRC 350-type robots automatically collect the fork arms as bulk material and locate them optimally on the component Highlights igh processing time due to automated component H feed Great flexibility due to intelligent PLC control, which enables simple and fast refit to other roller types Efficient production by autonomous production line, almost operator-free onstant quality even in 3-shift operation C

Industry solutions The Vario tractor from Fendt with the Cargo front-loader Project description Agrostroj produces high-quality front loaders which can be mounted to the most varied tractors and vehicles all over the world. The different components are subject to high quality and safety regulations because they have to be safe every day on the fields and meadows, in the wood or in the city and under the most different climatic conditions. There is a special attention to the weld quality of the highly dynamic and stressed lifting arms. The working range of the six-axis robot is enlarged by a turnable...

Industry solutions The welds of the completed front loaders meet the highest tensile-strength standards with an equally pleasing weld surface. Programming of the front-loader using CLOOS RoboPlan software Positioning of the component in the optimum welding position Highlights easibility studies and simulation with RoboPlan offline F programming system utstanding weld quality due to the use of laser senO

Industry solutions The Tucano 480 combine from Claas Project description The 7-axis welding robot is mounted to an overheadmounted linear track. Thus the robot can change between the two production stations. Due to this layout the operator and the robot can work simultaneously and the system efficiency increases. The turn/tilt positioner always positions the complex workpiece perfectly for welding. Contours where the positioner axes synchronously move with the robot axes are welded easily.

Industry solutions The overhead-mounted CLOOS 7-axis QRC-E 350 robot welds the combine frames with optimum accessibility The QR-SN-LS offline laser sensor for optimum measurement of the weld before the welding process Optimum accessibility of the component by exact positioning of component and robots Highlights Extension of the working area by seventh robot axis utstanding weld quality due to the use of laser senO sors ptimum access to component by gantry and O positioner system easibility studies and simulation with RoboPlan F offline programming system
