Optimal Solution Magazine 05
Doosan Horizontal Machining Center with Linear Pallet System (LPS)
enables us to provide the optimal solution that will enable them to, as we like to say, perform under pressure.”
Robotics has become a core competency at DIA, leading to the development of its own Human Machine Interface (HMI) Panel. A simple, easy-to-use touchscreen, the Doosan HMI Cell Controller allows real-time monitoring and control of both the machine tool as well as the robot. This communication software solution was developed by Doosan’s Automation group on a seamless Fanuc Platform, which allows easy configuration and connectivity.
Doosan’s smart touchscreen HMI Cell Controller dramatically simplifies setup, operation, and cell monitoring, which shortens the operator’s learning curve, by way of adding our One-touch error recovery option. One-touch error recovery allows the operator the ability to restart the robot within the production path when a fault has occurred without requiring in-depth knowledge. One-touch error recovery gets our customers operators one step closer to 100% efficiency due to less downtime.
Taking DIA’s HMI Cell Controller one step further is the DooCell. The DooCell is more of a commodity system of automation. Each cell includes a Doosan machine tool (turning center, machining center or both), a robot, a drawer system
and the HMI smart touchscreen cell controller. This way the robot can tend a machining center or turning center, allowing the customers’ to handle automatically prismatic
parts as well as cylindrical parts.
Here’s how it works in real time: raw material is stored in a drawer
Doosan also offers a wide breadth of multi pallet solutions to complement its Horizontal Machining Center product offering. These systems are ideal for eliminating non productive setup time and supporting unmanned operation. The systems range in size from 400 mm pallets up to 1000 mm. Doosan’s range of pallet systems includes both carousel and linear type systems that can integrate up to six Doosan horizontal machining centers, with up to 72 total pallets. All pallet systems have been designed and engineered by Doosan, so the integration is flawless. Most systems can be field retrofitted to existing machines with minimal loss of production. User-friendly controls ensure there are short learning curves for operators.
We take a hands-on approach to automation, as opposed to forcing our customers to work with a third-party integrator.
system and removed by the robot to be transferred to the machine tool for various metalcutting operations. Simultaneously, the same robot removes the finished part and places it on a conveyor, or on a separate drawer assigned to finished parts.
Rozier: “What our HMI panel gives us is intimacy, intimacy that says, this is my machine, and I know my machine. I wrote the software for the robot and I've been around Doosan FANUC controls for 16 years, so I know it inside and out. The functionality you get from this HMI is second to none.”
In helping Doosan separate even further
from other suppliers, “Our
Mechanical Engineering department also designs robot end-of-arm tooling here to accommodate our customer’s process, where others suppliers might outsource this task,” notes Rozier.
Moving Forward Reshoring offers future generations an opportunity to lead the global economy of tomorrow. To ensure we as a nation have the capacity to
take full advantage of a
renaissance in manufacturing, we must address the need for skilled labor, and wherever possible, leverage technology to fill the gap in job openings versus the labor pool currently available and the skill set they offer.
Finally, the manufacturing community as
a whole must do more to
encourage the next generation, many of whom may not even be considering manufacturing as a
career, to realize these jobs
involve working with exciting and sophisticated technology. The fact is a career in manufacturing today is as challenging as it is rewarding.
