    Automatisierte Produktionsabläufe werden zunehmend wichtiger. Dennoch ist der Mensch nach wie vor ein unerlässlicher Faktor, da die künstliche Intelligenz von Robotern noch nicht ausreicht. Das Fraunhofer IPK hat nun ein System entwickelt, das eine gestenbasierte, intuitive Programmierung von Robotern für Schweißanwendungen mit hoher Präzision ermöglicht.

    Hard materials can be cost effectively machined with standard industrial robots by enhancing current state-of-the-art technologies. It is demonstrated that even hard metals with specific robotics-optimised novel hard-metal tools can be machined by standard industrial robots with an improved position-control approach and enhanced compliance-control functions. It also shows that the novel strategies to compensate for elastic robot errors, based on models and advanced control, as well as the utilisation of new affordable sensors and human-machine interfaces, can considerably improve the robot performance and applicability of robots in machining tasks. In conjunction with the development of safe robots for human-robot collaboration and cooperation, the results of this paper provide a solid background for establishing industrial robots for industrial-machining applications in both small- and medium-size enterprises and large industry. The planned short-term and long-term exploitation of the results should significantly increase the future robot usage in the machining operations.

    Cooperation of human and machines in assembly lines

    Flexibility and changeability of assembly processes require a close cooperation between the worker and the automated assembly system. The interaction between human and robots improves the efficiency of individual complex assembly processes, particularly when a robot serves as an intelligent assistant. The paper gives a survey about forms of human-machine cooperation in assembly and available technologies that support the cooperation. Organizational and economic aspects of cooperative assembly including efficient component supply and logistics are also discussed.

    Auf der Grundlage der modernen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien erfolgt derzeit die Einführung elektronischer Service-Scheckhefte im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau. Die Instandhaltung von Produktionseinrichtungen folgt damit nicht mehr starren Wartungszyklen, sondern lässt sich der tatsächlichen Anlagenbelastung anpassen.
