Cost-effective automation thanks to igus Cobot

In the application video, an igus Cobot, also known as "Rebel", is presented. It is used for the pick-and-place of circuit boards as part of a customer test.

The Rebel is a collaborative robot that has been specially developed to work directly with humans. The video shows how the Rebel is tested in a real production environment. The focus is on the task of pick-and-place of circuit boards, a common requirement in electronics manufacturing.

The robot picks up circuit boards, moves them to the desired location and places them precisely. The ease with which the Rebel performs this task demonstrates its ability to increase production efficiency and reduce employee workload.

A filling machine was sought for processing plastic bottles with a volume of 50 to 150 ml.

Previously, an employee placed bottles and caps from an unordered carton onto an accumulation conveyor, from where they were fed into the machine. There, the bottles were filled, labeled and the cap screwed on. The finished products were then packaged by another employee. The cycle time is a few seconds.

The products produced on the machine often vary. A conventional sorting of the bottles would be too inflexible, as it has to be adapted to the respective product. Due to changing loads on the machine, temporary workers are often employed. So a way is sought to feed both bottles and lids (both cylindrical objects) from a disordered carton into the machine. At the same time, the changeover must be as quick and easy as possible.

With the help of Delta robots, both the bottles and the caps can be fed. This allows the machine to be operated by just one operator. Since object recognition can work with all cylindrical products of similar size, changeover to a new product is very easy. 3D printing reduces development costs and the changeover to a new product is faster. In addition, spare parts can be produced very easily.

According to a conservative estimate, the costs for the robot cell, including development, amount to approx. €10,000. With two such cells, personnel costs of €20/h (= €160/day = €3200/month) can be saved. A return of investment (ROI) can be expected after approx. 6 months.

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.

Pick and place with large room gantry

Pick and Place mit großem Raumportal

The pick-and-place system for metal components uses a large spatial gantry to enable precise and efficient movements. The end effector, equipped with a camera, identifies and grips the metal parts. The camera provides real-time images that are used to accurately position and handle the components. The system ensures high accuracy and repeatability, making it ideal for industrial applications where precision and speed are critical.
