In this video, we demonstrate the use of an automated system for inserting components into an injection molding machine. This innovative solution optimizes the production process and significantly increases efficiency.

The operation of the insertion process is shown step by step, demonstrating the precise positioning and handling of the components. The seamless integration of the insertion system into the existing injection molding machine will then be demonstrated, including the communication interfaces and control logic.

The benefits of this solution include increasing production speed and accuracy, reducing scrap and material waste, and improving worker safety by minimizing manual intervention.

An important aspect here is maintaining a low footprint.

An igus Rebel Cobot is used for a specific task in the Customer Testing Area. The cobot, a collaborative robot, is programmed to pick up a small component from a conveyor belt and sort it accordingly.

The process begins when the conveyor belt transports the small component to the cobot. The cobot, equipped with a gripper, picks up the component and lifts it off the conveyor belt. The cobot then moves to the designated sorting area and places the component in the correct position. This process is repeated continuously to ensure efficient sorting of the components.

This test demonstrates the ability of the igus Rebel cobot to perform tasks with high consistency, making it a valuable tool in modern manufacturing. It also shows the benefits of automation, such as improving productivity and efficiency in production.

The video showcases an automated pick-and-place system designed for a customer test. It features an igus SCARA robot equipped with a high-precision Schunk gripper, positioned above a conveyor belt transporting various items.

The igus SCARA robot is noted for its rapid and accurate movements, ideal for handling small to medium-sized objects. The Schunk gripper, renowned for its reliability and fine control, can securely grasp a wide range of parts with different shapes and surfaces.

During operation, the robot picks individual items from the moving conveyor belt and places them precisely in a predefined location. This process, known as pick-and-place, is a critical step in many manufacturing and packaging processes.

The video demonstrates the system’s smooth operation and high repeatability in part placement, crucial for customer satisfaction and the efficiency of the test. It also highlights the system’s easy integration into existing production lines and its adaptability to various applications.

This video presents a customer test setup in which small components are moved on a conveyor belt in a robot cell. At the beginning of the video, we see how the small components are placed on the conveyor belt. They are then transported into the robot cell. A camera strategically placed in the cell recognizes the exact position of the parts on the belt. Once the camera has captured the coordinates of the parts, this information is passed on to a delta robot mounted on top. This robot is equipped with a pneumatic rotary gripper that grips the parts precisely. The delta robot then moves, controlled by the coordinates provided by the camera, and always places the parts in the same orientation. This process demonstrates the precision and efficiency of the robot cell when handling small components. In summary, this video is an excellent representation of the application of modern robot technology in manufacturing and assembly. It shows how efficient and accurate handling of small components can be achieved through the use of cameras, delta robots and pneumatic rotary grippers.

In the video, we see an igus Delta robot working in an industrial environment. The robot is equipped with a Cobot pump, which is specifically designed for precise handling of components.

The robot begins its work on the conveyor belt, where various components are running along. With high speed and precision, the robot arm moves back and forth to pick up the components. The Cobot pump is activated to securely grip and lift the components.

As soon as the robot has picked up a component, it moves quickly and efficiently to another area where it places the component. This process is repeated over and over again, with the robot always maintaining the same high performance and accuracy.

In summary, the igus Delta robot, in combination with the Cobot pump, offers an efficient and precise solution for handling components in an industrial environment. The machine works tirelessly and accurately, leading to improved productivity and efficiency.

Integrator shows camera-assisted conveyor tracking solution

In this application video, integrator Artur Wiebe shows how a Delta robot from igus® with camera-supported conveyor tracking solution, conveys small containers, often found in the cosmetics industry, from the conveyor belt into a box. The containers are picked from the conveyor belt by an igus Delta robot mounted in a robotic cell after being programmed and detected by the camera in a specific cycle and deposited again in a specified place, in this case the box. With a positioning accuracy of +- 0.5 mm and up to 60 picks per minute, the Delta robot with 3 axes is ideal for implementing pick and place tasks in your production in the best possible way.

igus Delta robot in combination with a vision system

This pick and place application presented at the Hanover Fair is a very special application with a high savings potential. The igus Delta robot was equipped with a vision system for object detection. However, this is not an expensive camera system, but a simple webcam for about 100€. This could be fully integrated into the igus Robot Control and thus keeps the costs of the cell low. The camera is available on request.

Integrator uses wireless joystick for robot control

In this application video, integrator Arthur Wiebe shows that it is possible to connect a wireless joystick to the robot controller. This makes it easier to position the robot and it is no longer necessary to do this in the software.

The application shows a classic conveyor belt picking task with small containers as they are found in the cosmetics industry. After programming, these are picked from the conveyor belt by an igus Delta robot mounted in a robot cell in a specific cycle and deposited again at a specified place.

Delta robots are the ideal choice when fast pick and place tasks are to be automated.
