Tiivistelmä
Collaborative robots (cobots) can be used to improve the tasks that are currently done manually. This thesis aims to design a workstation for a collaborative robot application in the tapping process for Prolaser Oy. The workstation is evaluated for practicality.
For the purpose of writing this thesis, literature review was conducted along with correspondence with the commissioner. Information on the required dimensions was gathered through available standards. Creo software was used to model parts needed for the prototype. A simulation was done to demonstrate the assembly of all components by Visual Component software. Robot programs were made for testing phase after a setup with the prototype had been built.
The outcome shows cobot application can provide a more efficient alternative to the current manual method of tapping. However, this is only the case for mass production application. In conclusion, this thesis has potential to be deployed in an industrial manufacturing process to improve the productivity, as well as the quality of the tapping task.
