Robotic production cell for nailing elements of furniture frames

 

During DREMA 2022, INFOTEC will present a "4x1" robotic production cell, which will be used for the production of furniture frames in the Live Furniture Factory.

 

The basis for the successful implementation of robots in the production of upholstered furniture is experience, knowledge and the ability to analyze customer needs. The INFOTEC brand is a leader in the supply of automated production cells for nailing furniture frames. INFOTEC robots can be launched by anyone, even without prior implementation or programming experience. Thanks to the intuitive operation, the average time needed by our customers to start working with the robotic line is a few hours from the time of assembly. Traditional robots that are difficult to program to do the same thing all the time, expensive accessories, heavy molds are a thing of the past. Thanks to the flexibility in the approach to the implementation process and the use of innovative technologies that take into account the specificity of the material which is "live" wood, the INFOTEC brand has developed a unique - the first in the world - station for nailing furniture frames tailored to the needs of both small and large companies in the upholstery furniture production.

 

The robotic station consists of:

• 4 assembly stations for wooden frames adapted for quick conversion and change of the type of the frame being made
• An industrial robot located on a track equipped with two types of automatic industrial staplers with the function of autonomous refilling with staples
• Operator panel connected to the Digital Furniture Factory system.

 

The complete station is intended for fully automated production processes of frames and structures made of wood and wood-based materials. It provides simple operation and high assembly efficiency while maintaining perfect repeatability of the process.

• increasing the accuracy and repeatability
• increasing production efficiency.
• increasing the competitiveness of the company.
• reduction the number of defective products.

 

Automatic line for applying glue to the furniture frame

 

One of the processes in production of upholstered furniture in the Live Furniture Factory will be spraying glue on the furniture frame and sticking a previously cuted flexible foam to the place of spraying.

 

INFOTEC, as part of the Digital Upholstered Furniture Factory (UPHOLSTERY 4.0), will present to visitors an automated cell for spraying glue on a furniture frames in automatic mode.

This solution is unique and is designed to eliminate people from the time-consuming process of applying glue to the surface of the frame. During the manual application of the glue, the glue is often wasted or it does not reach all the necessary surfaces - this causes a loss of glue or the need to re-apply it by an employee, which significantly extends the process and causes additional costs.

 

The robotic gluing cell consists of:

• industrial robot equipped with a pump and nozzles with glue
• innovative glue application system based on two-component water glue
• conveyor with a drive for preparing the loading of the frames,
• conveyor with a drive controlled by a robot during gluing, effectively increasing the scope of gluing
• conveyor with a drive for assembly and unloading,
• system for securing the conveyor belts on which gluing takes place,
• control system with the operator's panel with the possibility of easy recall of programs
• barcode scanner for quick program calling.
