Working with a fiberglass processing client located in Ohio, MJ Engineering designed this robotic cell for a custom manufacturing application. Starting with client specifications, we generated concepts for cell design, finally creating a 3D model in SolidWorks for the finished prototype design. Using integrated robot simulation software from FANUC, we carried out a number of time study simulations to ensure that customer requirements would be met.

Design elements of the fiberglass processing robotic cell include a FANUC M20iA 6 axis robot that allows for processing of panels up to 30′ long and 4′ wide, and high-speed production capacity, such as three-dimensional fiberglass routing and automated tool changing. Meeting the demanding production requirements set by the customer, including 385 holes drilled and 750 feet of panel processed per hour, we also designed the cell for ±0.125″ positional repeatability in all processing operations. As required, we also produced electronic documentation as well as training. This particular design allows the customer to adjust the robotic operation for new products, adding to the cell’s efficiency and capability.
