Project history

Robot Programmer and Acting Robot Team Leader / Accumotive - Mercedes

Eres Automation s.r.o.

Automotive & Vehicle Manufacturing

Completed offline programming, KUKA Option Package development and commissioning for an Accumotive battery production project covering TRUMPF remote laser welding with KEYENCE distance compensation, Scansonic laser welding with tactile seam tracking, and SCHUNK pneumatic positioning for riveting.

Prepared offline robot programs and developed two KUKA Option Packages: one for KEYENCE distance measurement and one for the SCHUNK riveting application, including inline forms, robot logic, service functions and documentation. Commissioned the TRUMPF remote laser welding station from initial setup to production. The KEYENCE sensor supplied an analog voltage signal used to correct the robot position before welding. Commissioned the Scansonic system from initial setup to production welding of the battery frame.

Programmed communication between the robot, PLC and MBFS to transmit point numbers, measured offsets and robot status, including functions for standard and rework production.

  • For the SCHUNK riveting application, developed a custom KOP that continuously evaluated the analog position-sensor signal during cylinder travel, detected contact between the riveting tongs and the workpiece, and stopped the pneumatic unit at the correct riveting position despite workpiece-carrier height variations. Commissioned and tuned the solution directly on the production line. Also coordinated the robot programming team’s daily work and supported technical decisions on site.
