ROBOT SYSTEM PRODUCTS IMPROVING ROBOT FLEXIBILITY
ROBOT SYSTEM PRODUCTS IMPROVING ROBOT FLEXIBILITY QUALITY | PRECISION | EFFICIENCY WELCOME TO ROBOT SYSTEM PRODUCTS! as a spin-off to ABB, since 2003 we have been established as an independent company. Our progress has been remarkable – with a growth from initially four persons to today’s 70 employees in Sweden, Germany and China. WITH A BACKGROUND Our staff is our most important asset; our company atmosphere is characterised by straightforwardness. The working environment is important and our workshop in Västerås has recently been renovated. We are many individuals with long-term robot experience, amounting to several hundreds of years of knowhow. FOCUS ON R&D At RSP, our focus has always been on R&D, an area where we have continuously been at the leading edge. Yearly, we launch new and improved products and will continue to do so in the future. Concerning production equipment, the critical factor is quality. At RSP we put emphasis on both the testing of new products and on inspection and testing before delivery. In order to achieve a well-documented lifespan prediction, all our products go through long-term trial periods ahead of launch. Ola Wallster, CEO. SHORTENED LEAD TIMES We are proud of the level of service we provide. We strive to answer your calls, respond to emails and spring in to action when field service is required. Shortened lead times are increasingly becoming a demand from all of our customers, something we are doing our best to respond accurately to. In 2014, we seized the oppor- Precision i minsta detalj tunity to become the owners of Rytterne Mekan. Rytterne Mekan is a machine-part manufacturer, with a quality staff and CNC turning and milling equipment. This acquisition is allowing RSP to maintain quality control and manage lead-times throughout the production process. The Rytterne Mekan addition has strengthened our already strong in-house capabilities, high standard of dependability and on time delivery. We now have control over the raw material, semi-finished goods and goods in stock. Our latest measuring device enables us to verify the precision of all product components. Facing challenges is the best way to develop and be at the leading edge. We look forward with confidence to the challenges that you, our customers, will ask us for!

SWIVELS WITH TOOL CHANGER Our new family of Swivels provides air supply and electrical signals without limiting your robot’s motion capabilities. You can spin the 6th axis free from hoses, cables or other obstacles and maximise uptime in any application involving substantial robot motions. RSP is the only provider of the combination of Swivels with Tool Changer, the best of both worlds to maximise the performance or working range of robots. These products are the obvious choice in applications that involve several welding guns or material handling tools and a lot of robot movement. FLAWLESS LIFE TIME EXPECTANCY At RSP we always feel that it is important to offer a complete system, which has been put We are a subcontracting company based in Eskilstuna (Sweden), where we conduct machining in most materials. We have a modern machine park with, among other things automatic lathes, machining centers and CNC lathes which 2 are 5-axis. We are ISO 9001: 2008 certified. www.cicon.se together and tested before put into production. Tool Changers need hose packages and valves to function, and the application might need an upgrade with a swivel unit for long lifetime expectancy on the hose and cabling or to be able to reach tight corners. Like Lego, our tool systems can be combined to fit your robot’s arm length and air/ signal interface. Before, during and after installation documentation such as 3D models, installation and service manuals are crucial for a fast installation and flawless life time expectancy. RIGHT ON TIME Our customers often ask us for delivery time and we response with the question; “When do you need it?”. We know how important it is to get the equipment right on time in order to make your project a success. RSP also has a long tradition of supplying to big automotive projects. These projects are very demanding due to the large numbers of items with complex specifications, coordinated delivery to different line builders and tool manufactures and assistance when the critical S.O.P. (Start Of Production) is about to take place. RSP is able to provide our products and services worldwide and is therefore a perfect partner, even if the equipment is used outside your country.

Using a swivel from Robot System Products, the injection moulding company Denk Kunststoff Technik, extended the axis 6 working range of their robots. In the production of injection moulded parts for the automotive industry, very high equipment efficiencies are required. High automation levels in the production environments are typical and the use of robots is standard. Denk Kunststoff Technik, working with RSP, found a smart solution to improve equipment utilisation of the existing production cells by adding more flexibility, expanding the types of applications that can be accomplished and by reducing downtime. These improvements were accomplished by using RSP Swivels. EXTENDS THE WORKING RANGE The swivels developed by RSP extend the working range of the robots sixth axis, increasing the flexibility and reducing cycle time of the robots. Additionally, the swivels eliminate loose hanging hoses and cables, while significantly reducing the maintenance efforts required for the robots. The new, comparatively light swivel weighing only 4.1 kg is compact and easy to integrate. Robot-aided production of plastic parts for pawls and rotating traps. The injection moulding around metal parts is carried out according to the Safety category D. During the rapid handling processes, the reliability of the automation technology plays an important role. According to Denk Kunst stoff Technik staff, the swivel technology has proven to be robust and effective. Since the installation of the RSP swivels over 24 months ago, there hasn’t been a single failure despite handling up to 110,000 parts per day in a three-shift operation. INJECTION MOLDING AROUND METAL PARTS The injection moulding cell consists of an Arburg machine, a 6-axes Yaskawa robot and a feeder and separator from Püschel. The robot takes the presented metal inserts out of the Püschel cell and moves the gripper to the injection mould. Here, it takes the injection-surrounded parts from the following cycle out and positions the inserts in the mould. Then the robot drops the finished parts into plastic boxes. Due to the different working cycles, a freely rotatable sixth axis is required. In this case, the S20-2E swivel offers the ideal solution. DENK KUNSTSTOFF TECHNIK • Founded in 1995. • Specialises in the manufacturing of mass parts from thermoplastic material. • Produces a wide range of automotive plastic parts for various car manufacturers. • Has over 75 employees, a yearly turnover of 15 million euros and an export rate exceeding 40 %.

COUNTRY: Josh Haag USA 3. ROLE: President, Essential Robot Products 4. YEARS WITH RSP: Since 2010 5. MARKET OUTLOOK: The Market outlook in the United States shows continuing signs of growth in the automation sectors in the short, mid and visible future. Part of the growth in the US market is from a “re-shoring” effort. The re-shoring focus is to bring many of the manufacturing jobs back to the US that were once lost to lower-cost labour countries. The re-shoring effort is possible only through automating the manufacturing operations here. In addition to the standard push to reduce labour costs, other factors pushing the movement forward are demands for improvements in safety, quality, and shortening of the supply-chain pipelines. These are a few items continuing to fuel the US automation market. 6. YOUR STRENGTHS: As the face of RSP in the North American market, Essential Robot Products, Inc. is bringing the RSP products to the market through face-to-face communications and additional marketing channels. We do this by communicating the technical, cost-of-ownership and other RSP product advantages. As our customer’s conduit to purchase RSP products and provide engineering support, we also support our customer’s fast-pace demands in the areas of product knowledge, front-line engineering, product support, customs assistance and other service needs.
