Handling robots

The loading and unloading of machines can be efficiently automated with handling robots. The robot systems pick up components precisely and reliably, and place them in the desired machine. Our various robot kinematics offer you maximum flexibility when setting up your automation solution and enable fast and reliable machine assembly. The robot control system can be integrated directly into the system via Modbus TCP/IP or runs separately via digital inputs and outputs. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly. 

Component removal from machine tool

In this application, the handling of the components was automated. The robolink robot arm loads and unloads the machine fully automatically. Splash water is not an issue thanks to the use of waterproof joints.
  • Manual activities near the machine are no longer necessary
  • Potential sources of danger are separated
  • Splash water protection according to protection class IP44
  • Any end effectors can be used
To the application example

Handling in 3D printing

3D printing is slow and time-consuming. The process can be scaled through automation. The user does not need to intervene to remove parts and start a new printing process. This speeds up the process, especially for short print runs.
  • Increased efficiency due to elimination of manual steps
  • Increase in output as several 3D printers can be monitored and operated in parallel
  • System easily scalable as production grows
  • Cost-effective integration and rapid amortisation
To the application example

Automate inspection processes

In order for printed circuit boards to be tested electrically, the boards must first be inserted into the test system. If a defect is detected, the printed circuit board is sorted out immediately. With this fully automated loading and unloading process, human operating errors can be ruled out.
  • "Round the clock tests" possible
  • Automation of rejects
  • Constant inspection quality without manual disruptive factors
  • Fast amortisation through cost-effective robots
