The assembly process of heat pump evaporators involves a lot of complexity: from the variability in dimensions and types of different codes to the management of gasses to achieve the correct flame shape and temperature for welding. This project relies heavily on a manual and artisanal approach which is very operator dependent.
The integration of innovative technologies such as vision systems, collaborative robotics, and software that manages component supply and line movements has led to the complete automation of the evaporator components insertion and welding process.
Not only the process is fully automated, but it is also capable of handling a wide variety of different product codes.
By utilizing vision systems and algorithm mapping, the system can adapt to different evaporators in terms of size, curvatures, and materials.
