Tiivistelmä
The goal of this thesis project was to realise the use of a collaborative robot in the mechanical assembly stage of a QA-L type hoist and pilot testing of a collaborative robot assisted assembly process.
This thesis work can be considered as the first step in QA-L hoist assembly automation. Automation will increase the efficiency of the assembly process and decrease the adverse effect of vibrations from a pneumatic tool which is used in the QA-L hoist assembly process today.
This project was started by getting familiarized with the QA-L type hoist assembly process and setup creation for the pilot testing of a collaborative robot assembly. A list of improvements was made based on the results of the pilot test and these are also described in this thesis.
The thesis consist of a description and some pictures of the pilot test setup and its results, a description of possible ways to improve the robot assembly process and CAD models of 3D printed parts. All the solutions can be used to successfully implement a collaborative robot for a QA-L type hoist assembly process.
