The cell is finished
when it locks to the line.
We put the assembly still done by hand into one package — path, tool, and line lock — on a tight takt.
Project
Assembly Line Robotic Cell
On the Bursa supply line, assembly leaned on the operator across four stations. Cycle time drifted shift to shift while the part waited for the next transfer.
This was not a robot brochure. Fixture, path, vision drop, and the handshake with the neighbouring conveyor had to lock together before the cell counted as installed.
Need
When repeat work stays manual, tempo drifts.
The request arrived as “a faster robot.” The real break was that the cell did not talk to the line.
01
Assembly depends on the operator
Drop and tighten stayed with the shift. The same part sat differently at night.
02
Safety is discussed later
Gate and reset spoke a different language from the path. The cell could not be stopped and restarted on its own.
03
Transfer waits
The robot finishes its work; the neighbouring conveyor guesses the handshake.
Scope
What locked on this job.
- 01
Four-station layout and part path
- 02
Gripper, fixture, and assembly position
- 03
Position verification by vision
- 04
Safety envelope, gate, and reset interlock
- 05
Cycle sync with the neighbouring transfer
Approach
Part path first, then the trajectory.
We did not drop the cell into empty space. Access, fixture, and transfer locked on the same drawing.
01
Layout
Operator space, part infeed, and robot envelope were drawn to the line rhythm.
02
Tool and light
Gripper and vision were chosen to measure the drop position, not guess it.
03
Interlock
Gate, reset, and transfer handshake were written in the PLC layer.
04
Handover
Tempo was measured at FAT. The first shift was watched beside the cell.
Application
The cell reads in three frames.
03 frames
01 / 03
On site
Fixture in place, path tied to the line.
The tighten position became part of the cycle. The robot does not close until vision says yes. The neighbouring transfer reads the cell reset in its own language.

Robotic Automation
A robot is not a cell until it locks to the line rhythm.

Machine Vision
A camera is not a quality system. The station is.

PLC & SCADA
Control software must belong to the night shift as well.
Result
What was commissioned is not a robot.
We do not promise a cycle second or an OEE figure. Delivery is a cell locked to the line.
Integrated cell
Four stations, safety envelope, and vision run as one package.
Line interlock
Transfer and reset are readable in PLC tag language.
Commissioned solution
The first production shift was watched together beside the cell.

A new line, an existing cell, or an ageing cabinet. Scope comes from the work on your line, not from a catalogue.
