The modules support heavy loads and allow assembly processes directly on the slider
LCMR200 linear transfer system, the latest generation of this standardised cell can operate at a higher line rate than is possible when transporting the workpieces using conventional conveyors. Powered by linear motors, the LCMR200 sliders travel at up to 2500mm per second. The speed, acceleration/deceleration, and stop positions are programmable, and therefore easy to setup, fine-tune, and adapt as needed.
The sliders (right) can carry up to 30kg and can hold the workpiece accurately to let the robots perform processes such as screwdriving, glue dispensing, or palletising without dedicated tooling. The cells are thus easier to use and setup, throughput is enhanced, and the system is also extremely quiet, even when operating at full speed.
The sliders are driven independently and encoders feed back position information continuously to the main
controller. In addition to letting the
system optimise throughput and prevent collisions,
the position and timing data can drive quality
control and process improvement. Moreover, the information also enables per-unit traceability thereby simplifying compliance with automotive industry requirements. The position data is captured automatically with no user intervention or reliance on conventional identifications systems such as RFID, thereby helping avoid extra costs and engineering effort.
By integrating the linear transfer system, the assembly cells can be interconnected with extreme accuracy as the production line is scaled up. The mechanical tolerance
between the sliders is closer than ±30 micron and circulation units installed at the end of the line utilise high-rigidity
guides and a closed-loop system to eliminate any deviation due to ambient temperature variations.
Free pallets automation is a proven manufacturing technique that delivers flexibility for operators and can scale when needed to increase production capacity and throughput. Further enhancement, introducing standardised, interconnectable production cells and Yamaha’s linear transfer system unleashes extra speed and faster scalability, to let small manufacturers handle big contracts more confidently.
