- Part Presentation (Pallet reference to the robot is not guaranteed), yes the pallet is located into a 'fixed right angle'.
- Crate Presentation on the pallet (Crate reference to the Pallet is not guaranteed). crate is sligtly bigger than the pallet
- Crate Presentation on the crates (Crate reference to Crate is not guaranteed). it is not very clear on the video but there are flipthings present
- Tolerance on gripper (when gripping and when releasing can introduce XY and orientation changes). when it puts the products back ,that is not an issue
I put the comments in bleu
Many thanks for the video.
I can see what you mean now about asking about touch sensing as a target locator.
It looks like a very basic solution (I don't mean that in a negative way), I am surprised to see RFA on the side of the robot.
From my experience RFA provide a very solid solution to machine tending/palletizing and tend to provide good/solid integrated solutions too.
This does not look in line with the RFA I know, have they just supplied you the Robot system then and you are integrating it yourself?
I am more than 100% happy in what RFA diliverd the crates are my idea (that idea is that de products are loaded on to the crates at de sawingmachine
so there be no hands on it till they go to the customer) therefore saving al lot of handling like with other solutions like Halter/Selro , putting 20 or 30 products on a grid is not the most effective ways to make products that on averige take 5/10 minutes to make. with the crates i have products that have
runtime for almost 40 oures 480 pieces times 5min
The other robot in the back has vision with conveyor belt but it hold only 80 to 150 products that you have to load and unload, therefore there is still handling . ofcourse it is a work in progress that never stops but even when you think it is pervect you need to improve ,always improve!
I asked rfa to make a system that simpel even my mother could use it , and they dit just that ! and for the cost of 1857 oures of labor (salary saved for the guy that normaly put the products in) earn back time is very short.
