The realization of a complex system like the automatization of a production implies the integration of multiple task such as analysis ad study of layout , the modeling and design of mechanical equipment requied for welding and handling the elements ,the detection in static and dynamic collisions,ergonomic studies, compliance of field of safety, the creation and validation of sequences of operations with the aid of robots.

The simulation process through systems CAPE (Computer Aided Process Engineering) ,It is the only tool that allows to integrate all these analyzes enabling the end user to assess in advance the impact of the construction on site.

Issues such as the wrong geometry of tools, incorrect positioning of the tools, failure to comply with the time cycle expected, workstations that do not meet the correct ergonomics or safety regulations if not analyzed in advance would involve major cost increases and not always. ​They could be solved in the course of work on the construction site.

For the realization of an overall articulated, such as a motor vehicle, are multiple processes to be studied to achieve the final product.

The bodywork of a car is composed of a multitude of components that have to be joined together. You will have to study the equipment and systems used to assemble together the various component parts of the bodywork of a vehicle as well as to analyze the joining methods used to make integral with each other metallic elements.

​The design of the mechanical elements is carried out at present by means of CAD 3D systems. These systems offer the following advantages:

• Spare extended in volume that allow even unskilled persons to evaluate the object
• Ability to perform virtual testing
• Structural Analysis
• It creates a unique relationship between three-dimensional object and drafting, editing the 3D changes almost automatically the other.

The first stage concerns the import in the same environment of all the groups that form the welding cell. Occur so static actual dimensions, detecting interference due to incorrect positioning or design errors.

The key part is focused on simulation and handling of all the moving parts of equipment and robots. With modern software, you can check whether the welding points positioned in process are actually achievable or if there is the right space to pass the welding gun.

Obviously there are anthropomorphic arms products from different houses that differ from each other both for the possibility of movement for the inertia forces in play. To overcome this limit each robot is equipped with a program controller which allows to virtually recreate the exact movements.

Once you verified the feasibility of the process validation program to extrapolate the programming codes to be included in the control unit of the robot arm (off-line). These codes will be checked step by step once deployed the line as any error in the relative positioning of equipment and robots create differences between the theoretical and the real position reached by the electrodes.
