| Level 1 - Body shop |
Comau BW&A
supplies complete Body Shops from green field throughout the production launch
(start-up).
Body Shops are composed of sub-lines or commodities that produce the various
body structure components and mainlines that join the components into a complete
vehicle body. Comau BW&A offers high performance products and services in all
body shop areas.
In developing body shops manufacturing solutions Comau BW&A utilizes standards
that maximize system efficiencies, facilitate cost reduction and shorten launch
time.
Reliable Standards have proven their reliability through application in hundreds
of installations in various production environments.
Based on these proven standards, Comau BW&A has developed a "Template" library
of technological solutions and products, for the entire Body Shop and for all
commodities sub-areas. |

 |
| Remote Laser Welding - Agilaser |
| One Agilaser standard system may replace several
traditional welding robots. Agilaser is a Comau BW&A patented remote laser
welding technique for CO2 remote laser welding. Agilaser pulls together all
advantages of the up to date laser technology at low cost. |
|
| Remote Laser Welding - Smartlaser |
| Smartlaser, integrated with all other welding systems and
welding lines delivered by Comau, gives its best performances when applied with
product and process re-evaluation. This permits an enormous increase of
production and flexibility; thus reducing time to market for new products
introduction. |
|
| Remote Laser Welding - Swinglaser |
Integration of a conventional laser head with six axes
articulated Comau robot.
Thanks to the field's deepness of its remote focusing optics Swinglaser is very
tolerant about the actual work piece position, no auto-focusing systems are
required. |

 |
| Accumulating Pallet Conveyor |
| A variety of solutions that take into consideration
process requirements and work piece dimensions |
|
| Table Top |
| This electro-mechanical hemming presses are able to
perform 45°/90° clinching and, as well, lifting of parts for unloading
operations |
|
| Transfer Trolley |
| Transfer trolleys are used when a truck change is
necessary. The advantage of this component consists in the possibility of
quickly switching skids to other parallel trucks lines |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Twin columns belt elevator |
| This system, called twin columns belt elevator, is used to
vertically transfer skids, or pallets, between transfer lines at different
heights |
|
| Belt drop section high load |
| This single column belt drop section move skids and
pallets (up to 1500 Kg) vertically between lines located at different heights |
|
| Roller table |
| Roller tables are devices made of a series of motor-driven
rollers mounted on a mechanical structure. They have the duty of moving skids,
or pallets, in a longitudinal direction at various speeds and according to
process requirements |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Dual line roller table |
| For special applications dual line roller table are
required by process. They are made up of a series of motor driven rollers
mounted on a mechanical structure. Their function is moving skids, or pallets,
in a longitudinal direction at a different speed; according to weld station's
requirement |
|
| Concentric rotating table |
| Concentric rotating tables have the duty to rotate skids,
or pallets, by 90° or 180° from input direction. The rotating hub is located in
the centre of the table platform |
|
| Eccentric rotating tables |
| Eccentric rotating tables have the duty to turn skids, or
pallets, by 90° from input direction. The rotating hub is located at one end of
the table platform |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Lift table with lever and gear |
| This unit: lifting table with levers and gears boxes is
designed for body framers. It is used to move roller tables, with skid and a car
body on board, in both vertical and longitudinal directions |
|
| Scissor lifter |
| This equipment, defined scissor lifter, has the function
to move parts and components in a vertical direction allowing fast and easy
change of working levels |
|
| Lift with roller table for welding station |
| This lifting table, with integrated bed, is helpful within
an automatic or manual working cell in order to lift the transported part and
deposit the same on dedicated fixture |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Lift with roller table for buffer |
| This lifting table is necessary, inside of a belt cross
transfer systems (i.e.: in case of Buffers), to deposit skids on belts. Units
like this require working strokes just between 100 or 150 mm |
|
| Lift table compact |
| Lifting tables are used in all cases where is necessary to
move skids between sliding heights. Furthermore they are used, within automatic
or manual cells, to lift parts and deposit them on fixtures |
|
| Trunnion |
| Trunnions become popular within robot applications because
enable support and positioning of tooling, and parts, in different sides,
positions and angles permitting multiple processes and operations |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
| Modular grippers, end-effectors |
| With the new generation of grippes and end-effectors we
may positively address items like: flexibility, modularity, mounting
repeatability, easy maintenances due to the use of standard modules, cost
abatement. |
|
| Robot stands and risers |
| Robot stands and risers are extensively used into any
automated body shop. |
|
| Clamping fixtures, pins, lockers |
| Easy to replace, repair and maintain. With a limited
number of sub-components, some of them from free market. |
