Putting a boost in your production rates

Man­u­fac­tur­ers are con­stant­ly on the look­out for ways to improve their process­es and increase pro­duc­tiv­i­ty. Robot­ic automa­tion has been proven to be ben­e­fi­cial due to high­er machine up-times, increased flex­i­bil­i­ty, and process con­sis­ten­cy. Employ­ees are removed from poten­tial­ly haz­ardous envi­ron­ments, and man­u­fac­tur­ers can ben­e­fit from a decreased num­ber of human work­ers. Robot­ic automa­tion enables machin­ing shops to pro­duce more parts with less cap­i­tal and labor.

Robot­ic automa­tion is also effi­cient for mate­r­i­al han­dling and set­up because pro­duc­tion becomes pre­dictable. Human error is elim­i­nat­ed, and the time spent on fix­ing cost­ly mis­takes is saved. The robot per­forms its pro­grammed task repet­i­tive­ly, allow­ing man­u­fac­tur­ers to pre­dict their through­put accurately.

Robot­ic vision appli­ca­tions have increased pro­duc­tion out­put by 20% and reduced changeover time by 50%. Vision is a fix­ture­less approach that reduces costs and lost pro­duc­tion time caused by changeover adjustments.

Fanuc intro­duced the Toploader series of robots as the cul­mi­na­tion of a mar­ket inves­ti­ga­tion that proved scal­a­bil­i­ty of con­ven­tion­al gantries should be com­bined with the ver­sa­til­i­ty of floor-mount­ed robots. The Toploader series are designed for mate­r­i­al han­dling and machine tend­ing, but can also per­form oper­a­tions such as debur­ring, pal­letiz­ing, and gauging.

The Fanuc Toploader robots improve machine pro­duc­tiv­i­ty by 30% while reduc­ing cap­i­tal and main­te­nance costs. Instal­la­tion is easy, which reduces costs asso­ci­at­ed with time, and these robots adapt eas­i­ly to exist­ing plant layouts.
