The focus of the video is an igus gantry, which is used in combination with a Kolver screw gripper. The igus gantry is a high-precision device known for its ability to perform accurate movements in a three-dimensional space. The Kolver screw gripper is a powerful tool known for its ability to precisely handle and manipulate screws.

During the test, the igus gantry is used to move the Kolver screw gripper to various positions. The screw gripper then performs a series of tasks, including gripping, turning, and positioning screws.

The main purpose of this test is to verify compliance with the cycle time. The cycle time refers to the time needed to complete a full cycle of tasks. In this case, the cycle includes moving the screw gripper to a screw, gripping the screw, turning and positioning the screw, and finally returning the screw gripper to its starting position.

The video shows how the igus gantry and the Kolver screw gripper work together to perform these tasks with impressive precision and speed. It becomes clear that both devices are capable of adhering to the specified cycle time, which underscores their efficiency and performance.

In our latest customer test video, filmed in our new robotics laboratory in Providence, Rhode Island, we showcase the integration of the K-DUCER system from our partner, Kolver, with our gantry robot.

The K-DUCER is an intelligent transducerized assembly system, featuring the KDU controller and a range of handheld and fixtured electric screwdrivers (KDS) with precise torque control up to 620 lbf-in.

This demonstration highlights how our gantry robot, offering three degrees of freedom, collaborates seamlessly with the K-DUCER system to provide a superior automated screwdriving solution. This combination addresses the tedious and labor-intensive nature of manual screwdriving, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative.

Automated screwdriving is essential for reducing the high labor costs and inefficiencies associated with manual processes. Our low-cost automation solution not only ensures high precision and efficiency but also comes with robust support from our dedicated team of engineers. They are available to assist with integration and provide ongoing support, ensuring a smooth and successful implementation.

The K-DUCER's built-in Modbus TCP and Open Protocol connectivity ensures effortless integration into any smart factory environment, perfectly aligning with Industry 4.0 standards.

Watch the video to see how our partnership with Kolver enables us to deliver this affordable and powerful automated screwdriving solution. Discover how this combination can transform your production line, delivering enhanced efficiency, precision, and scalability for your assembly operations while minimizing costs and maximizing productivity.

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.

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.
