Challenge Automation designed and developed an automobile bumper management system utilizing 2 robots and AGVs.  The system would receive bumpers from the paint room.  Convey them to a position where they were bar code scanned to identity type and color of the bumper. Present the bumper to a high end visual inspection system to verify the correct bumper.  Then they would be robotically transferred to a stand and handed off to another robot system where they would be placed into a buffer for future retrieval. The robots utilized were 6 axis articulated and both located on a 7th axis rail system.   Custom EOA tooling was utilized to handle all types of the bumpers without adjustments. Two levels of belt type conveyors were used to handle the bumpers from the AGV units. Belt conveyors were also integrated with the AGV units to transfer the bumpers onto and off of the conveyors.
