In this customer application, a traditional task from the functional and quality inspection domain has been automated using a collaborative robot. Previously, this task required a dedicated worker. Thanks to the deployment of the cobot, this worker can now be assigned to more complex and value-added tasks. The cobot takes over the repetitive and monotonous inspection processes with high precision and reliability. The investment in the cobot was relatively low and paid off completely within a few months, leading to significant cost savings and increased operational efficiency. Additionally, the cobot improves working conditions by relieving employees from tedious tasks, allowing them to develop further and take on more demanding responsibilities.

In this application, a pick-and-place solution was tested for a customer using an igus linear robot, a camera, and a conveyor belt. The individual components had to communicate seamlessly to ensure the metal part could be reliably picked up from the conveyor belt and accurately sorted. The integration of the camera for detecting and positioning the metal part, along with the precise control of the linear robot, played a crucial role in ensuring the system’s high reliability and efficiency.

In this specific customer application, a cost-effective solution for loading and unloading a laser engraving machine was sought and successfully implemented. The igus ReBeL robot takes on the task of picking up the parts to be engraved and precisely placing them into the machine. Subsequently, a linear system equipped with a laser engraving head carries out the engraving process. Once the engraving is complete, the robot removes the processed part from the machine and places it for further processing or packaging.

Thanks to the low cost of the cobot, the investment in this automated solution pays off in a very short time, making it particularly attractive for companies looking to reduce their production costs while simultaneously increasing efficiency.

Automated handling of snail shells

Automatisiertes Handling von Schneckenhäusern

In this particular customer application, the task was to transport snail shells to various positions within a cycle time defined by the customer. The main challenge was selecting an appropriate end effector, as the snail shells needed to remain undamaged throughout the process.

After careful consideration and analysis of the requirements, the decision was made to use a SoftGripper. This type of gripper is characterized by its flexibility and adaptability, allowing it to conform to the shape of the delicate snail shells. This not only ensures safe transportation but also minimizes the risk of damage.

The choice of the SoftGripper was crucial for the success of the application, as conventional grippers, due to their rigid structure, would not have been able to handle the fragile snail shells without causing damage. By using the SoftGripper, the required cycle time could be met while preserving the integrity of the snail shells.

The ReBeL Cobot, equipped with the CobotPump from Schmalz, offers a versatile solution for pick-and-place applications. It has one gripping point and can be configured with up to four contact points for additional stability. These features make it ideal for efficient handling tasks. You do not need compressed air just 24v form the robot controller. The ReBeL Cobot with the CobotPump is a cost-effective option for companies looking for a reliable automation solution.

Pick and place with large room gantry

Pick and Place mit großem Raumportal

The pick-and-place system for metal components uses a large spatial gantry to enable precise and efficient movements. The end effector, equipped with a camera, identifies and grips the metal parts. The camera provides real-time images that are used to accurately position and handle the components. The system ensures high accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for industrial applications where precision and speed are critical.

This video demonstrates how injection molds can be efficiently and thoroughly cleaned using a gantry system, an intelligent cleaning system (IRC), and an e-chain set. The use of the gantry system is demonstrated, highlighting its precise positioning and movement. Following this, the intelligent cleaning system is introduced, including its functionality. The advantages of this cleaning method for injection molds include precise and automated cleaning of hard-to-reach areas, detection and removal of contaminants through intelligent sensors and software, as well as flexible and reliable energy and data transmission.
