2007年4月10號————ABB機器人技術方案將世界最大的汽車行業塑料機殼配件生產商生產力提高了20％ 總部設于臺灣的東陽集團總裁Mark Cheng說：“我們不會考慮當第二的，通過應用最新的技術和在研發方面的投資我們仍是第一位，我們堅信我們會領先于我們的競爭者。” ABB的機器人是幫助東陽保持其領先地位戰略的一部分，正如程先生所指出的，東陽是亞洲第一個購買ABB IRB 6650S支架安裝型機器人而由此受益的廠商，此機器人擁有獨特的創新型IRC5控制器和RobotWare塑料模塊軟件。 ABB機器人技術系統于2006年4月安裝在位于2500噸注壞模型機頂部的汽車緩沖器生產線上。 IRB 6650S機器人 當這一系統進入24小時操作后，系統能達到20％的生產力，一個月能額外生產3,000個緩沖器。產品生產周期降為10-15秒，生產配備人員也減少了。 ABB是我們的首選 公司汽車零件制造部總經理Yuh-Sheng Liang說：“引進ABB機器人達到的效果遠遠超出了我們的想象。IRB 6650S能夠使用六個斧子，說明其靈活性、速度和穩定性都有所提高。整個操作過程變得更有效。” 依據Cheng所言：工廠操作者都被這一簡單易用、富有直覺的軟件留下深刻的印象，這款軟件只需要很少的步驟就可以為不同的汽車緩沖器編制一個新生產程序。 東陽集團在臺灣兩個生產企業擁有13臺ABB機器人。東陽研發中心副主任Guann Chen說：“我們一直在不懈地學習怎樣把機器人更好地應用在我們的制造業領域。我們著重于加強質量、節省成本和安全保證，所以ABB是我們的首選提供商。” original text [COLOR=#708090]ABB robots bring bumper benefits 2007-04-10 - An ABB robotics solution has increased productivity by 20 percent for the world‘s largest maker of aftermarket plastic body parts for the automotive industry. “Being No. 2 is not an option we even think about,” says Mark Cheng, president of Taiwan-based Tong Yang Group‘s China regional division. “We‘ve remained No.1 by using the latest technology and investing in R&D. We‘re determined to stay ahead of our competitors.” ABB robots are part of that strategy and are helping Tong Yang maintain its competitive lead. As Cheng points out, the company was the first in Asia to buy and benefit from ABB‘s IRB 6650S shelf robot, with the uniquely innovative IRC5 controller and RobotWare Plastics Mold software. The ABB robotics system was installed in April 2006 on a car bumper production line where it sits on top of a 2,500-ton injection molding machine. When the system went into 24-hour operation it achieved a 20 percent increase in productivity, boosting capacity by an additional 3,000 bumpers a month. The production cycle was cut by 10-15 seconds and the number of staff manning the line was reduced. ABB is our ‘first choice‘ “The results are beyond our expectations,” says Yuh-Sheng Liang, manager of the company‘s aftermarket manufacturing division. “Being able to use the six axes of the IRB 6650S has meant more flexibility, increased speed and more stability. The whole operation becomes more efficient.” According to Cheng, the factory operators are very impressed with the easy-to-use, intuitive RobotWare software, which requires just a few steps to create new production programs for different car bumper designs. The use of icons instead of complicated language programs is also highly appreciated. Tong Yang Group has 13 ABB robots at its two Taiwan production facilities. “We are constantly looking at how we can apply the use of robots in our manufacturing areas,” says Guann Chen, deputy director at Tong Yang‘s R&D center. “We are looking to enhance quality, cost and safety, and ABB is our first choice.”[/COLOR]
