AGS Automation Greifsysteme Schwope GmbH, supplies the industry with high-quality gripper solutions and follows the philosophy "Everything ingenious is simple". Two business areas are the focus of AGS' activities - the modular gripper construction system and the construction of individually designed complete grippers. The modular system, which currently has over 2,500 parts, continues to grow and remains compatible with competitor products. The basis is formed by the form-fit sliding block clamping profiles widely used on the market, to which active elements such as gripper fingers and suction cups are connected.

In this special customer test, the handling of heavy metal lids was the focus. These lids, typically used in industrial applications, pose a challenge due to their weight and size.To overcome this challenge, an igus gantry was used. The igus gantry is a high-precision device known for its ability to perform accurate movements in a three-dimensional space. It is particularly suitable for tasks that require handling heavy loads, as in this case the metal lids.An essential part of the test setup was a magnetic gripper. This gripper was specially designed for this test and consisted of aluminum profiles and electromagnets. The aluminum profiles provided a robust and lightweight structure, while the electromagnets provided the necessary attraction force to safely grip and hold the metal lids.Through the combination of the igus gantry and the magnetic gripper, the handling of the heavy metal lids could be carried out without any problems. The gripper was able to safely pick up the lids, transport them to the desired location, and precisely place them there.This test impressively demonstrated the performance and versatility of both the igus gantry and the specially designed magnetic gripper. It became clear that these technologies are capable of mastering even demanding handling tasks in industrial applications.

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.

pick-n-place

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.

You do not need compressed air just 24v form the robot controller. The ReBeL Cobot with the CobotPump is a cost-effective option for companies looking for a reliable automation solution.

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.
