In this technical video we see an igus ReBel 6dof cobot mounted on a Rocholz cobot table. The cobot, a collaborative robot, is designed to interact safely with humans in a shared work environment.

The igus ReBel 6dof Cobot is a six-axis robot that offers high flexibility and precision. It is capable of performing complex movements that enable the reading of barcodes on packaging.

The cobot is mounted on a robust Rocholz cobot table, which provides a stable platform for the cobot. The table is designed to support the load of the cobot while providing an efficient work surface.

The video shows how the cobot autonomously scans barcodes from packaging. This process is important for warehouse management and inventory control as it enables accurate tracking of products. The cobot uses a barcode scanner to read the barcodes and send the information to a central system.

Overall, the video shows how cobots and automation technology can help to make processes more efficient and accurate. It is an impressive example of the application of robotics in logistics and warehouse management.

3D camera for automatic part recognition

3D-camera 

A linear drive from igus is used for the 3D camera, which is used in the packaging of furniture and is mounted at a height of 3 meters. This drive means that only one camera is needed, which can precisely reach a given position. The 3D camera is thereby mounted on a carriage from igus.

By using the linear axis in combination with the camera, a complete image processing system can be saved, since the camera is moved to the respective position. The possible travel distance is 4 meters.

bin-picking

Our health is our most valuable asset. Quick and easy access to medicines helps us when we're down. But how is the supply actually ensured? Apostore has an answer to that. When the boxes arrive from the wholesaler, their pick and place robot solution takes care of storage almost flawlessly in 24/7 operation with integrated delivery note management. The bulk medication is autonomously sorted into the pharmacy's merchandise system. And the pharmacy staff can take care of the customers. Safety is a top priority. The individual items are placed on the conveyor belt one after the other by the pick-and-place robot and scanned. Mix-ups are ruled out. So the next wave of colds can come.

For the automation of the flow of goods, Apostore relies on a robolink robot arm together with a 3D Smart Sensor Vision System and a Beckhoff controller for the bin picking solution. An upgrade with an automatic bin changer eliminates the need to manually exchange empty bins.

The pick rate of the pick-and-place robot is one medicine pack every 8-10 seconds. That's over 400 packs per hour. The items can weigh up to 500g.

For the use of the pick and place robot, a compressed air connection of 6 bar and a power connection of 230V / 16A is required.

In this customer application, a traditional task from the functional and quality inspection domain has been automated using a collaborative robot. Previously, this task required a dedicated worker. Thanks to the deployment of the cobot, this worker can now be assigned to more complex and value-added tasks. The cobot takes over the repetitive and monotonous inspection processes with high precision and reliability. The investment in the cobot was relatively low and paid off completely within a few months, leading to significant cost savings and increased operational efficiency. Additionally, the cobot improves working conditions by relieving employees from tedious tasks, allowing them to develop further and take on more demanding responsibilities.

In this application, a pick-and-place solution was tested for a customer using an igus linear robot, a camera, and a conveyor belt. The individual components had to communicate seamlessly to ensure the metal part could be reliably picked up from the conveyor belt and accurately sorted. The integration of the camera for detecting and positioning the metal part, along with the precise control of the linear robot, played a crucial role in ensuring the system’s high reliability and efficiency.

总览

In this specific customer application, a cost-effective solution for loading and unloading a laser engraving machine was sought and successfully implemented. The igus ReBeL robot takes on the task of picking up the parts to be engraved and precisely placing them into the machine. Subsequently, a linear system equipped with a laser engraving head carries out the engraving process. Once the engraving is complete, the robot removes the processed part from the machine and places it for further processing or packaging.

Thanks to the low cost of the cobot, the investment in this automated solution pays off in a very short time, making it particularly attractive for companies looking to reduce their production costs while simultaneously increasing efficiency.

Automated handling of snail shells

Automatisiertes Handling von Schneckenhäusern

In this particular customer application, the task was to transport snail shells to various positions within a cycle time defined by the customer. The main challenge was selecting an appropriate end effector, as the snail shells needed to remain undamaged throughout the process.

After careful consideration and analysis of the requirements, the decision was made to use a SoftGripper. This type of gripper is characterized by its flexibility and adaptability, allowing it to conform to the shape of the delicate snail shells. This not only ensures safe transportation but also minimizes the risk of damage.

The choice of the SoftGripper was crucial for the success of the application, as conventional grippers, due to their rigid structure, would not have been able to handle the fragile snail shells without causing damage. By using the SoftGripper, the required cycle time could be met while preserving the integrity of the snail shells.
