Module software allows the development of critical processes in parallel to design. Other companies do a POP, SYMPHONI™ offers something that is much closer to production.
In a typical Engineer-To-Order (ETO) assembly automation project, customers have to wait until the entire machine is fully designed and integrated before they can get data on their critical assembly processes using production quality equipment. Machine providers will build a scaled-down representation of the production tooling as a Proof of Principles (POP) to test critical processes; however, the differences in the POP tooling relative to the production equipment is often the cause of inconsistent results on the final equipment.
Touch tooling and the machine operation sequencing using SYMPHONI simulation tools are not just models—they are based on the actual machine configuration and will demonstrate how the system will function in full 3D animation. You’ll see the machine operation before any fabrication takes place.
The Sonata™ cell is designed for low-volume production; hand-loaded parts are automatically assembled enabling for R&D testing and validation. This mechanical simulation mitigates risk, simplifies validation, and reduces time-to-market by making your POP as close to final production as possible.
Ideal for:
SYMPHONI’s advanced control system powers the differentiating throughput in a small footprint.
Implementing and maintaining a SYMPHONI system is accomplished with both physical and digital tools. Critical processes and entire stations can be digitally simulated using detailed mechanical design, actual motion configurations, and real-time coordination.
