Deployment of Industrial Robotic Turbocharger Manipulator into the Production Process – Construction of a Crate Feeder Workstation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: An industrial enterprise can remain competitive only if its production process is continually made more efficient. An analysis of operators' workload in a real-world operation involving balancing turbochargers for internal combustion engines has shown that cyclically repetitive and strenuous human work can be optimised through automated processes. For this reason, there is room for applied research, resulting in the machine's ability to reproduce only the necessary manipulation activities required in the turbocharger balancing process. Therefore, the proposed automatic line includes balancing machines to determine the amount and location of unbalanced masses on the turbocharger rotor. Following the overall resolution of the issue, a significant increase in the efficiency of a technologically feasible workplace, adapted to the needs of modern industry, is expected.
