Filed:

Jan 19, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/689993

Inventors:

Velibor Kilibarda - Birmingham MI, US
Joseph Cyrek - Southfield MI, US
David Reid - Commerce Twp MI, US

Assignee:

COMAU, INC. - Southfield MI

International Classification:

B25J 17/02
B23P 11/00
B05C 5/00
B23K 9/00

US Classification:

7449006, 29428, 118300, 219136, 901 43, 901 29

Abstract:

A robotic end effector system and method having a plurality of end effectors which are selectively suitable for particular applications on a workpiece. The end effectors include a resident controller adapted to execute tasks specific to the end effector and are rapidly attachable and removable from the robot for easy change over to different workpieces.

US Classification:

72372, 72214, 2924358, 723792

Abstract:

A hemming head device and method for hem forming one or more edges of deformable material. The hemming head device includes dual biasing spring members which provide a resistive force whether the hemming wheel is in a push hemming operation on an exterior joint edge or in a pull hemming operation on an interior joint edge. The device further includes a quick connect device for selectively connecting hemming wheels and other forming devices to the head and a gauge to measure the relative position or resistive force applied on the forming member by the biasing members. A method for hem forming a workpiece using dual biasing spring members is also disclosed.
