Autonomous assembly station

Automatic assembly of components in 2 variants with quality control of the finished product using a Keyence vision sensor and scanner.

Autonomous assembly station

4h of autonomous operation with no human involvement. Replaces the work of 6 operators/day across a 3-shift pattern.

Vision inspectionAutomatic feeding

Manual component assembly tied up 6 operators across 3 shifts. The line stopped at every break, changeover or absence — the lack of production continuity fed straight through to cost and on-time delivery.

We designed an autonomous assembly station with a 4-position Weiss rotary table, two vibratory feeders with a quick-emptying system and Keyence vision inspection. The operator refills the containers and feeders every few hours — the machine handles the rest.

A Siemens PLC with an operator panel, an Interroll roller conveyor and Festo servo drives give the process full parameterisation and repeatability.

Solutions applied
  • Siemens PLC and operator panel
  • system for loading empty containers and unloading full ones on a roller conveyor built on Interroll components
  • independent zones allowing buffering and speed control
  • two vibratory feeders with changeover capability, fitted with hoppers and a quick-emptying system
  • automatic assembly of components in 2 variants
  • 4-position Weiss rotary table
  • quality control of the finished product with a Keyence vision sensor and scanner
  • Festo pneumatics and servo drives for precise process parameterisation
  • SCHUNK grippers and compensation modules
  • Balluff optoelectronic sensors and IO-Link signal islands

Assembly machines and automatic stations - ATIV

ATIV designs and builds assembly machines, robotic stations and automatic quality control systems shaped around the specifics of the client's industry and process. Every station is the result of process analysis, concept design, prototype build and FAT/SAT acceptance testing carried out together with the client.

The machines we deliver are fitted with Siemens or Omron PLCs, HMI operator panels, safety systems compliant with EN ISO 13849 and complete electrical and mechanical documentation. On request we integrate machines with the client's MES, SCADA or ERP systems over OPC UA, PROFINET or MQTT.

We offer ongoing technical support after go-live: remote diagnostics, PLC software updates, and both planned and emergency service. Every machine built by ATIV carries CE marking and is delivered with full technical documentation in Polish.
