"MATRIBOT" COLLABORATIVE ROBOTICS APPLIED TO PROCESSES OF INJECTION-EXTRACTION OF FOOTWEARS FOR FOOTWEAR DESCRIPTION Currently, the removal of soles or floors for footwear from the mold after the injection is a manual, monotonous process that requires great physical effort, often causing injuries to workers. The automation of these tasks requires high adaptability, since there are many models and sizes, and the need to be able to handle flexible objects, which are initially attached to the mold after injection. This type of component (floors / soles) whose organic-technical morphology is extremely complex makes it difficult to incorporate automatic ejector molds. Thanks to the implementation of CAD tools in the design of the floor molds for footwear, it is possible to use the designed model of the mold to be able to pre-define the points where the robot has to perform the extraction of the sole and to generate the trajectory of the Robot movement from this information. An ideal scenario is proposed to investigate the use of robots, and to develop an automatic extraction system that frees the operator from making efforts. In addition, the use of robots for all types of tasks working together and in coordination with the human being is a key component in the factory of the future (FF) or 4.0 Industry. OBJECTIVES The general objective of this project is to put a robotic cell architecture within the reach of the injection of floors / soles for footwear of the Valencian Community, capable of performing the extraction of the mold floors after the injection process automatically , improving productivity and therefore its competitiveness. For this, the following specific objectives are defined: -Define the current situation: define and analyze the process of injection and extraction of the soles, classify the different types of soles and characterize the operations -Design of grippers and the methodology necessary for the extraction of the soles. Since the classic extraction systems are not effective in this process, specific systems will be designed to perform the correct grip of the floor for the use of robots. -Generation of the trajectories from the CAD information of the mold. Starting from the CAD information of the mold, a system will be designed where the user can indicate the correct zone or zones to perform the extraction. - Definition of the cell architecture necessary to encompass and coordinate the different elements that will make up the robotic cell.
