Flexible robot cells

From machine to part nest loading, Liebherr utilizes the full potential of your production with the help of robots

Liebherr automation for flexible production

Automation is only suitable for large batches is a well-known myth but it only applies to production in rigid sequences. Flexible manufacturing systems with robot cells, on the other hand, can handle multiple part variants in different batch sizes. This makes them ideal for the production of small or medium-sized batches and enables alternative manufacturing concepts. In matrix production, processing steps are divided among manufacturing islands and are no longer tied to a fixed cycle. Production is more flexible and can compensate for fluctuations using buffer storage. This minimizes standstill times and maximizes productivity.

Flexible cells for flexible applications

Robot applications impress with their versatility. Liebherr uses the entire bandwidth to implement pick-and-place tasks, bin picking or machine loading. Whether sorting or stacking, picking or storing, we will find the right solution for your automation project. In addition to individual cells, our strength lies primarily in systems thinking. We combine self-sufficient cells into a functional overall system, for example by using automated guided vehicles (AGVs) for automatic material transport between the cells.

Vision systems: an eye for detail

When parts are not always in the same transfer position, vision systems come into play. Whether in 2D for in-plane applications to 3D for random bin picking we integrate the right system. Liebherr not only takes care of the selection, validation, implementation and commissioning of a suitable vision system for you, but also offers its own software LHRobotics.Vision and enables customer trials in its own Tech Center.

Focus on problem-solving

We are enablers. Do you have a problem? We develop a solution.

With decades of experience, we have already implemented a wide variety of cell concepts. This is why we are able to respond to your requests in a particularly flexible and competent manner. An example of this is the following project, in which we combined a bin-picking application with a workpiece storage unit for the line entry of a crank shaft line.

Knowing beforehand how it will work afterwards

When it comes to automation projects, a certain amount of uncertainty is often involved. Are you implementing a particular cell concept for the first time? Do you lack experience in the application field? Do you have very tight cycle time requirements?

We can eliminate your project's uncertainties in advance with expert advice and comprehensive simulation offerings and know that it will work. We test reach and collisions, loads and gripping situations for every project. Decades of experience and testing capabilities at our customer center round off our portfolio.
