Robotization to the future

P-Robot is a new application combining a Salvagnini panel bender with a robot to produce kits, batches, and single parts autonomously. P-Robot is a smart solution: easy to program, easy to use, and able to exponentially improve the flexibility and productivity of Salvagnini panel benders.

Application overview

 Modular layout
 Flexible automation
 Smart teaching
 Production versatility

  • RVS option

    The RVS (Robot Vision System) option benefits from a unique 3D artificial vision system, the only one of its kind on the market, to further simplify the use of technology, optimize production flows by speeding up intermediate phases of recognition, handling, and programming, and maximize the value of the finished product through the quality control system of produced parts.

  • Standard panel bender

    P-Robot can be applied indifferently to standard P1, PX, P2, or P4 panel benders. And although integrated with a robot, the panel bender remains always available for any work traditionally managed.

  • Flippable gripping device

    The gripping device is equipped with suction cups on two sides, for picking up the bent part and immediately positioning the new part to be bent, in-cycle. It allows optimization of the sheet loading/unloading cycles, improvement of production rates, and a reduction in waiting times.

  • Easy programming

    The program, generally made in the office with STREAMBEND, can be used without the need for modifications on either P-Robot or on panel benders without robots.

  • Smart teaching system

    On board the machine, the MOVE software acquires the panel bending program, automatically generating the robot trajectories. The operator will simply need to confirm or, if necessary, modify a small number of checking positions to complete the programming of the robot.

P-Robot extends the flexibility and productivity of Salvagnini panel benders because it allows the best strategy to be chosen, based on the current production needs. The same P-Robot can work in different modes, seamlessly and without re-tooling.

  • Robot to robot,
    for series production

    On unmanned shifts, or in production contexts where a single operator monitors numerous systems, P-Robot naturally works in R2R (robot to robot) mode, loading, unloading and, if necessary, stacking the parts.

    00:00

  • Robot to robot,
    for kit production

    P-Robot R2R (robot to robot) mode is also suitable for kit production where secondary processing and assembly are done by an operator downstream of the panel bender.

    00:00
    00:00

  • Robot to human

    In R2H (robot to human) mode, it is responsible solely for loading the flat part, whereas the operator is responsible for unloading the panel. This is an advantageous strategy if the operator must complete the processing of the panel on a different workstation – for example with a press brake or a welding machine.

    00:00
    00:00

  • Human to robot

    In H2R (human to robot) mode, it is the operator who will load the flat part onto the working area, and the robot will unload the panel at the end of the cycle: this strategy is useful for managing extremely diversified batch-one production.

    The panel bender remains available also for standard production, for any work managed completely by the operator.

Software

Industry has changed: flexibility and efficiency are fundamental requirements for managing increasingly smaller batches or rapid item turnover rate.  And developments in technology have in some way upset the balance between workloads, with increasingly fast systems which however need to be guided by more and more specific machine programs, the generation of which is increasingly time-consuming. This is why software is increasingly crucial to improving the efficiency of machinery.
