Project Summary:
Out with the old, in with the newer, reconditioned robots! This customer was looking for an affordable upgrade for a multi-robot palletizing configuration. RobotWorx supplied and integrated five Fanuc robots into the preexisting conveyor arrangement, and met all application needs.
Application Goals:
- Work with Preexisting System:
Customer needed a group of robots that would replace worn out models. Arrangement of conveyors and pallets will remain the same, so RobotWorx technicians will need to integrate robots to fit.
- Payload to Accommodate Parts:
Cases of shotgun shells weigh as much as 23kg each.
- Attain Proper Cycle Speed:
The robot must stack at least six ammunition cases per minute. Pallets are stacked seven layers high.
- Reach Requirements:
Need a robot with a wide work envelope. Must extend at least 2286mm from the center of the robot.
