About The Customer
Robo-Technology GmbH is an innovative, medium-sized company with many years of experience in the integration of complex robotics. Their scope ranges from nanometers up to several meters. Their customers operate in various industries, including automotive, aviation, metrology, pharmaceutical, packaging, and semi-conductor. These customers have a high level of confidence in Robo-Technology GmbH, relying on them for the planning, development, design, manufacturing, and programming of automatic robotic systems.
The Challenge
Robo-Technology GmbH, a company that specializes in the planning, development, design, manufacturing, and programming of automatic robotic systems, faced a significant challenge. They were tasked with developing an ultrasonic testing system for helicopter parts, which could be up to 6 meters in length. The system required two synchronized 6-axis robots to carry out fast testing movements with high dynamic precision and synchronization. This demanded the highest construction standards, posing a significant challenge for the company. The complexity of the task was further compounded by the need to ensure the rigidity and vibration behavior of the system met the customer's demands.
The Solution
Robo-Technology GmbH tackled this challenge by carrying out the development in a consistent 3-D environment. From the earliest stages of product development, they utilized ANSYS Workbench to analyze the design as work progressed. This approach allowed them to guarantee that the rigidity and vibration behavior of the system would meet the customer's demands. By using this method, the risk for the involved project partners was substantially reduced. The use of ANSYS Workbench also enabled quick verification of the efficiency of new construction elements, leading to shorter development and design times and a considerable increase in quality.
Operational Impact
  • The solution provided by Robo-Technology GmbH resulted in an innovative testing system with several key characteristics. It allowed for fully automatic testing of complex skin components, ensuring a high quality of results. Additionally, the system was designed to have short processing times, increasing efficiency. The use of a consistent 3-D environment and ANSYS Workbench in the development process also reduced the risk for project partners, providing a more secure and reliable solution.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Quick verification of the efficiency of new construction elements
  • Shorter development and design times
  • Considerable increase in quality
