ABB / IRC5 robots cleanup of existing line: Improved cycle times, debugging, efficiencies, etc. Spot weld, Sealer application, MH, 1 stud weld and henrob rivet guns. There are about 60 robots in the system, RH and LH front rail with a cycle time of around 1min 30sec. Project was also extended to help commission the addition of 60 new robots to the existing line for 3 new model additions. Stayed on after installation and commissioning was completed for production support to help the line operators and robot tech learn how to support the line.
