Material Handling

Material handling with robotics can be very versatile. We are experienced in designing the end of arm tooling that best suits the need of the application. Mechanical and vacuum grippers are common design implementations but force sensitive servo driven grippers are also available for collaborative robotic systems. 

The use of automatic quick changers can make change overs simple and quick to implement.

Palletizing

Using dedicated palletizing robots can increase the speed and payload capability of the robotic system. We have experience utilizing pallet dispensers and auto stackers to limit the amount of operator interference required.

It is possible to palletize using a standard 6-axis robot if there are multiple handling functions that must be performed in the same area.

Vision Assisted Motion

Camera systems mounted directly to the robot are capable of capturing an image and providing reference data for moves made by the robot. Typical applications are bin packing/picking, palletizing/depalletizing, and machine tending.

Conveyor Synchronization

Conveyor Synchronization is an option that allows the robotic manipulator to follow the conveyor directly within a set window. This allows for continuously moving conveyors. Applications include material handling directly from the conveyor, spray/material application, or vision inspections.
