When it comes to your manufacturing, industrial or packing operation, increased efficiency can make all the difference, and investing in robot loading machines can save you time and money. In particular, there are many advantages to using pick-and-place robots.
Advantages of pick-and-place robots
Pick-and-place robots are excellent at doing simple, repetitive tasks, and that’s why they are among the most common type of robots used in manufacturing and packing. They also save human workers from the injuries that come with repetitive hand and arm use and from the boredom of unchanging work. In general, a pick-and-place robot is mounted next to a conveyor belt and has an arm that is able to grasp an object and release it within a certain range.
These robots can aid with assembly by grabbing an object off of one conveyor belt, attaching it to another part and then sending it off a second conveyor belt. Additionally, they can grab an object off of a conveyor belt and then place it strategically into a container. With the aid of sensors, they are also able to pick parts out of a bin as well as inspect for defective parts on a moving assembly line.
In ideal circumstances, these robots can move around 200 objects a minute. If you are ready to learn more about robot loading machines for both simple and complex systems, reach out to the team at Business name.
