R&D also means...RoboticsRobotic cells designed and produced by R&D are typically used for tasks such as welding, screwing, cementing, handling or palletisation.Blocks can be arranged around a rotary table to enable background loading or unloading.

Customised solutionsThe result is useful applications where standard solutions are impractical.Working closely with each client’s technical team, R&D studies and proposes solutions tailored to the client’s requirements in relation to assembly line planning, ergonomic workstation design, implementation of viewing or inspection systems or any other aspect of production.

The EvoluBox® Flexible Assembly Unit is made up of a standard 8 or 16-position revolving table insert supporting use of interchangeable automated workstations and configurations. The patented EvoluBox® concept also supports operation in linear transfer.

Each station has its own intelligence and can be operated, adjusted and maintained independently from the equipment. The standard base is equipped with multiple connections to enable precise and reproducible mechanical positioning of all workstations. Electrical and pneumatic power connections and station recognition are automated.

The revolving table has multiple bays for positioning and fixing the interchangeable configurations which are also recognised automatically.

All four corners of the machine are equipped with removable covers to allow for the automated inflow of selected parts or outflow of assembled components.

multi-product...Workstations and configurations are quick and easy to interchange.

This means that operators can reconfigure production completely in just minutes without special training, mechanical require-ments or adjustment of automation mechanisms.

In this manner a single piece of equipment takes the place of multiple dedicated machines

or workstations.

multi-task...8 or 16-station configurations

can accommodate simul-taneous operation of an ergonomic manual station

plus multiple automated workstations.

All automated operations can take place in the background during loading and subsequent unloading of components by the operator.

EvoluBox® can also be used in fully automated mode without an operator.

multi-process...Workstations mounted on the standard EvoluBox® base are custom-configured to adapt to all of your processes.

The potential applications are nearly endless:

- Assembly (welding, clipping, setting, screwing, etc.)

- Inspection (form, appearance, continuity, vision, laser, etc.)

- Marking (labelling, ink jet, tacking, etc.)

- Packaging, small tooling, etc.

Profitability Generator

Revolutionise your productivity

• Increase profitability while also improving flexibility even for small and medium-series production

• Make the most of your investment by distributing it over multiple products

• Validate new processes and get new products to market faster and at lower cost using the same tools

• Implement automation gradually to suit your requirements• Anticipate future development of your products and processes on a

limited budget

Against economic constraints that get stricter by the day, industry must continuously seek solutions to remain competitive: Improve productivity while reducing manufacturing costs, maintaining product quality and decreasing production time... Based on an innovative concept, the EvoluBox® Flexible Assembly Unit enables continuous adaptation of your production equipment to the diversity and evolution of your products. EvoluBox® creates new possibilities for the automation of small and medium-series production by combining productivity, profitability, flexibility, quality, ergonomics and safety.

An operation performed at a manual station has the advantage of requiring only limited base investment; however, the cumulative cost curve demonstrates that this solution is less viable over the medium to long-term. Total or partial automation helps to reduce recurring costs but also requires a larger base investment.Using the concept EvoluBox®, make the most of your investment by distributing it over multiple products and at the same time reducing the return on investment.

Advantages of the EvoluBox®

concept

Use of a single EvoluBox® for multiple products helps significantly to reduce operating costs per piece, making the EvoluBox® concept the most effective approach to small or medium-series product assembly.
