Automation in the automotive world has always been the core business of Sir, which throughout its history has designed and built robotic lines and cells capable of covering the entire production chain of typical components for a modern car.
The industry-specific requirements imposed by the automotive sector in terms of quality repeatability, now comparable to those required in the aeronautics industry,
with extremely short cycle times and near 100% efficiency, make automotive the most demanding testing ground for modern robotics.
In this context, Sir has developed comprehensive solutions characterized by a high level of integration.
These solutions range from processing raw cast components and cores to handling them during the loading and unloading of machine tools, from finishing processes after the initial machining to final assembly operations and palletization.
The SIR assembly lines in the automotive sector mainly concern the assembly of engine heads, wheel groups, engine distribution groups or turbines. In addition to this SIR has developed solutions for the welding and assembly of car and motorbike frames.
Generally this lines are capable of self-tooling for each different product code.
The robots are assisted by other accessory systems designed and produced by SIR such as Cartesian manipulators, presses, etc.
Functional Integration
We build robots and mechanisms that interact to share information and balance the workload, to assemble any type of product.
Quality and Efficiency
SIR assembly solutions deliver drastic reductions in production times with impressive increases inquality. All with efficiency over 90%.
Flexibility
SIR lines’ automatic retooling opens the way to randomized production and automation which leaves behind the rigidities of the past in progression to the one-piece batch.
Functional Characteristics
- Randomized production and automatic retooling
- Production traceability
- Optical inspection and functional testing of the finished product
