Loading Industrial Machines with Used Motoman Robots

There are sev­er­al robot com­pa­nies in the indus­try that pro­duce machine load­ing robots. One of those com­pa­nies, Motoman Robot­ics, man­u­fac­tur­ers sev­er­al dif­fer­ent robot mod­els that can be used for machine load­ing, as well as dozens of oth­er mate­r­i­al han­dling applications.

Motoman machine load­ing robot sys­tems are designed to han­dle a vari­ety of items. One cus­tomer want­ed a Motoman machine loader that was flex­i­ble enough to load raw pipe cou­plings into a hydraulic press for trim­ming, accord­ing to the Motoman web­site. The sys­tem had to have a pro­duc­tion rate of at least 6.9 sec­onds per pick and had to be able to han­dle at least four dif­fer­ent cou­pling sizes. Along with those goals, Motoman had to build a robot­ic machine loader that could reduce the need for man­u­al labor for the com­pa­ny, as well as elim­i­nat­ing down­time and improv­ing oper­a­tor safe­ty by reduc­ing stress injuries.

Motoman was able to step up to this chal­lenge and hit it out of the park, which is in line with their rep­u­ta­tion as a top robot­ics com­pa­ny. They used a Motoman HP series machine load­ing robot with a Motoman con­troller, an index­ing posi­tion­er, a cus­tom grip­per and two machine load­ing oper­a­tor sta­tions. The robot sys­tem was able to han­dle all the required parts, with a cycle time that was up to 30 per­cent faster than what the cus­tomer ini­tial­ly request­ed. The sys­tem also hits all the oth­er points of reduc­ing man­u­al labor and increas­ing safe­ty for the manufacturer.

When man­u­fac­tur­ers are look­ing for robot sys­tems like the one above from Motoman, they usu­al­ly con­tact a robot­ics inte­gra­tor like Robots​.com. When you choose a com­pa­ny like Robots​.com to build your Motoman robot machine loader or work­cell, you are get­ting a com­pa­ny that is ded­i­cat­ed to build­ing you the per­fect sys­tem to meet all of your needs.
