Customized system construction – System for palletizing storage rolls

Workpiece:

Bearing rollers in two variants and with different diameters

Task:

The rolls, which are randomly placed on a feed belt by a pilot-controlled machine, are to be picked up by a gripper and deposited in an orderly manner in the boxes provided.

Solution:

The basic structure of the system is based on a standard TECHTORY-floor-cell.

The feed belt on the rear side is loaded with storage rollers by a pilot-controlled system. A gripper picks up the randomly arriving parts and places or stacks them in the boxes provided. For this purpose, the gripper can be equipped with fingers to pick up the different rolls internally and externally. A movable camera system, which is located above the system, recognizes both the pick-up positions of the incoming bearings on the conveyor belt and the lower storage positions in the individual boxes. As the camera permanently supplies position data, a smooth process with high cycle times is possible.

The boxes required for stacking are provided on pallets by the worker. To prevent downtime when changing pallets, the system has two separate chambers.

Customer benefits:

• Installation on the standard TECHTORY-floor-cell
• Smooth bin-picking of randomly incoming parts
• Movable camera system for optimum detection of pick-up and deposit positions
• Thanks to the 3D camera, a very wide range of products can be covered without major set-up work
• 4-axis gantry with self-developed 4th axis (rotary drive) for high swivel moments with high dynamics
• 3D-printed gripper fingers for low manufacturing costs and high flexibility
• Separate chambers for loading and unloading the storage boxes for uninterrupted operation
• High processing capacity and output quantity
