The integration of the robot station resulted in a not
significantly reduction of assembly and cycle times due to
outstanding investments in the interlinking with manual
workstations. The aim of the integration of an automated
assembly unit was especially to demonstrate the possibilities
of automation and a flexible design of the robot gripper. With
the experimental setup shown in Fig. 7, it is possible to
assemble alternately both a pneumatic cylinder and a camping
stove with a single gripper.
At the end of the simulation, each student group should
document and comment the experiment procedure and the
results by means of a final report.
