MATERIAL HANDLING INTEGRATED WITH ROBOTS

Material handling and Robots can automate some of the most tedious, dull, and unsafe tasks in a production line and is one of the easiest ways to add automation. Material handling robots enhance the efficiency of your production line and increase customer satisfaction by providing quality products in a timely manner.

The term material handling encompasses a wide variety of product movements on the shop floor. Part selection and transferring, palletizing, packing, and machine loading are just a few of the applications that are considered material handling.

PICK AND PLACE APPLICATION

During this handling process, the work piece is picked up from a defined position and placed again at another.

Cobots can perform such tasks around the clock and with very high precision and repetition accuracy. If the tasks are repeated, the respective programming of the Cobot can be saved and recalled at any time.

The supreme discipline is the so-called “reaching into the box”, also called “bin picking”. Using a camera system, the cobot identifies the respective work piece and automatically removes it from the box.

MACHINE TENDING APPLICATION

Cobots can relieve specialists in the company of the monotonous loading and unloading of machines. What’s more, as cobots are always ready for use and can work day and night, the times when the machines are at a standstill are also reduced. Once the work piece is finished, the cobot immediately unloads the machine and reloads it.

The cobots do not need much space for this, manual operation of the machines remains possible. With the vacuum grippers, cobots are particularly flexible and can be used on machines with different work pieces.

PALLETIZING APPLICATION

• • Products are moved more efficiently
  • Products are stored more efficiently in warehouses
  • Using standard pallet sizes can optimize warehouse operations and workflow

  Reduced risks

  • Less risk of product damage due to handling
  • Less risk of worker injury
  • Because pallets are stronger and more durable than other shipping containers, they can hold more products and heavier products without the risk of breaking.

  Easier to transport products

  • • A single pallet with several items is easier to manage/keep track of
  • Compared to other styles of unit load bases that may require specialized equipment, the universal sizes and shapes of pallets can easily be lifted and stacked by forklifts and pallet jacks.
