Design of a Robotic Cell for Welding and Manipulation

The purpose of this master’s thesis is a design of the robotic cell for spot welding followed by manipulation with parts assigned for automotive industry. The cell should consist of a rotary table operated by a process operator and set of six-axis robots for spot welding and manipulation with parts. The thesis also describes the design of the end effectors of all robots, the design of rotary table with regard to welding technology and configuration of the cell to obtain maximal efficiency. The output of the thesis is 3D model, workflow simulation, evaluation of the production times and operator work conditions
