Loading parts with Motoman Robots

Load­ing parts from one area to anoth­er is an impor­tant dur­ing pro­duc­tion, whether that means load­ing the parts from one con­vey­or to anoth­er for fur­ther pro­duc­tion pur­pos­es, mov­ing parts into pack­ag­ing areas, or load­ing a part into a work cell. Motoman Robot­ics, a leader in the robot­ics indus­try, has devel­oped many dif­fer­ent robot mod­els capa­ble of effi­cient­ly load­ing parts for their customers.

Motoman robots load a pletho­ra of dif­fer­ent parts in fac­to­ries world­wide. One Motoman solu­tion for robot­ic part load­ing was devel­oped because a cus­tomer need­ed glass light­ing parts loaded onto racks. The cus­tomer want­ed the Motoman part load­ing robot to achieve a 21 sec­ond cycle time, accord­ing to the Motoman web­site. The sys­tem had to be able to han­dle a vari­ety of glass tubes, includ­ing batch processed runs with two dif­fer­ent part lengths. The robot­ic part loader from Motoman was then expect­ed to pick up 50 tubes at a time and load them into rack sta­tions or onto con­vey­ors, depend­ing on the stage of production.

Of course, being one of the top robot­ics com­pa­nies in the mar­ket­place, Motoman was able to deliv­er a part load­ing robot sys­tem to meet and exceed the customer’s expec­ta­tions. The solu­tion uses a Motoman UP series robot and Motoman con­troller, paired with a vac­u­um grip­per and a three rack sta­tion to accom­mo­date the parts that are being loaded. The sys­tem actu­al­ly achieved a 14 sec­ond cycle time, which was 33 per­cent faster than the cus­tomer required. Over­all the part load­ing robot sys­tem was Motoman was a flex­i­ble han­dling sys­tem that improved the customer’s productivity.
