O desenvolvimento offline de uma ilha robotizada para aplicação de pasta térmica em baterias de veículos elétricos

Abstract

The demand for solutions aimed at industrial optimization is constantly increasing, considering that industrial sectors in general seek to increase productivity, reduce costs, and minimize risks to workers. In this context, this project develops an automated process for applying thermal paste to electric vehicle batteries in a virtual simulation environment. The objective is to develop a virtual robotic station, composed of two robots, with the movement of Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) at the station’s entry and exit, and controlling the station via Programmable Logic Controller together with a Human-Machine Interface, the control structures of the robots and the main safety and process concepts for communication between alldevices present in the station will be detailed. Focusing on the challenges present in station control and robotics, due to two robots sharing the same workspace, the study seeks to validate the technical feasibility of the automated process, contributing to significant advances in the implementation of robotic projects and the manufacturing of electric vehicle batteries.
