Sammanfattning
At the Volvo site in Skövde they develop and manufacture engines and engine-related components. The main use of the engines is in trucks, but they are also manufactured for industrial use and marine use. Except for the assembly factory, there are three foundries and one machining factory on the site. Components from these factories are either sold separately or transported to the assembly factory for assemblage. With the help of Visual Components and the virtual commissioning approach, Fanuc CRX-10iA/L robots were implemented in a simulation in an attempt to automate the sand core assembly for smaller volumes. To perform this project, the methodology was based on reviewing literature around the keywords of the project and learning the software through tutorials and guides with different exercises. The aim of the project was to simulate if there is a feasible way of implementing collaborative robots in the current assembly process whilst answering the research questions that had been given and are presented in the report. The results of the project are presented and concluded that it is possible to implement collaborative robots in the current assembly process although some adjustments need to be implemented to the current layout.
