Automated parts handling with igus room gantry

Automatisiertes Teilehandling mit igus Raumportal

Pick and place applications are a central component of modern production processes, especially in automation technology. They make it possible to pick up objects precisely and place or assemble them at a defined location. This process is particularly relevant for the assembly of small, lightweight components such as plastic lids.

The test is intended to evaluate the efficiency and precision of the pick and place application when picking up and assembling plastic lids. Particular attention will be paid to the speed of the process, the error rate and integration into existing production lines.

The application consists of a pick and place robot equipped with a gripper system specially designed for plastic lids. The robotic arm is able to pick up the lids at high speed and place them on the corresponding containers by pushing the lid into the opening.

The pick and place application for picking up and fitting plastic lids shows that significant improvements in production efficiency can be achieved through the use of robotics and automation technology. The results of the customer test confirm the potential of this technology to optimize modern production processes and increase competitiveness.

The Dr. BOY GmbH & Co. KG, known for its compact and economical injection molding machines, has combined the BOY 35 E series with igus’s Low Cost Automation to enable automated parts handling. This leads to a faster return on investment for customers.

The BOY 35 E machine is particularly compact and efficient, ideal for the production of precision parts in tight tolerance ranges.A distinguishing feature of the BOY 35 E in the technical center is the integrated portal from igus, which provides simple parts handling. This portal is part of igus’s broad Low Cost Automation offering and allows customers to quickly and easily put a pick-and-place linear robot into operation for various tasks. The system is maintenance-free and can be individually assembled and programmed thanks to an online configurator.

The pneumatic pickers from BOY are replaced by the Low Cost Automation linear portals from igus, as these are more flexible and cost-efficient. The BOY 35 E with integrated Low Cost Automation from igus was first presented at fakuma 2023 and attracted great interest.

The modular dispensing system with integrated igus room gantry offers an innovative solution for the precise and efficient dispensing of adhesives and sealants in prototype and series production. The use of zero-point clamping systems and measuring systems enables simple replacement of dispensing valves, tools or devices, which guarantees a high level of process reliability from batch size 1. In addition to 1-component materials from cartridges, hobbocks and drums, 2-component materials can also be applied with the right valve technology. The optional needle measurement for the automated input of offset values ensures consistent precision even after the cartridge change.

Handling and joining tasks can be programmed via the Igus Robot Control (IRC), whereby the DXF import represents an even simpler way of quickly implementing complex 2D contours in a dispensing programme in the future. An integrated weighing cell controls the dispensing process and ensures the defined adhesive quantity, thereby reducing waste and guaranteeing a consistently high quality of the dispensing process. The recurring, precise material application ensures the high quality of the dispensing process, minimising rework. Defined material application in the right place ensures sustainability through economical material consumption and reduces material waste.

This modular dispensing system revolutionises critical dispensing tasks and offers a flexible, efficient and cost-effective solution for production.

EcoPlant Hybrid: The emission-free solution for efficient and sustainable reforestation

Capgemini has developed a proof of concept (POC) for its Forest Planting Machine, an ecological, economical, efficient and versatile mechanised planting solution. The compact, one-seater all-terrain vehicle is also approved for road use and has a hybrid electric and hydrogen drive that ensures zero emissions, zero pollution, high efficiency and silent operation. It enables gentle, close-to-nature forestry and can plant up to 1,600 seedlings per day, equivalent to around 1 hectare, with up to 20 different species.

Manual planting faces challenges such as labour shortages and planting quality. It is a seasonal and strenuous activity. Existing mechanised planting solutions are also unsatisfactory as they are based on machines designed for timber harvesting and are therefore extremely heavy, expensive and fuel-hungry.

Capgemini has developed a 100% electric, vehicle-mounted planting controller. The machine's on-board computer houses specially developed software that controls the various actuators to complete the planting cycle. Capgemini has chosen Igus Drylin products: SLW-S linear module, DLE-RG 3-axis Cartesian gantry and igubal® pillow block bearings. Embedded in their first prototype presented at Viva Tech, their POC enables testing and validation of the centrepiece of the machine. Capgemini will evaluate the performance of the planting function in terms of cycle time, robustness and versatility as well as planting quality.

Arm rail bending system with igus portal and igus robot control

A gantry robot from Igus, which clamps blanks of aluminium parts in a fixture to bend them into arm rails, offers an efficient and precise solution for automating this process. The Igus gantry robot is specially designed for industrial applications and is characterised by its robust construction and high reliability. It consists of a multi-axis Cartesian system that enables precise positioning and movement of the aluminium blanks. The axes of the robot are usually X, Y and Z, whereby each axis can be controlled independently of the others.

The robot grips the aluminium blanks using a gripper or other suitable end effector solution and positions them precisely in the bending device. This device is designed to bend the blanks into the desired shape of arm rails. The entire process is controlled by the Igus Robot Control (iRC) software, which enables intuitive programming and monitoring of the robot movements.

The benefits of such a system include high precision, as the accurate positioning of the blanks ensures consistent and high quality bending results. Automation reduces cycle times and increases production capacity, while the Igus robot components are lubrication-free and durable, minimising maintenance requirements. In addition, the robot can be easily customised to suit different production requirements.

Overall, the Igus gantry robot offers an advanced solution for automating the bending process of aluminium parts into arm rails, which can significantly increase the efficiency and quality of production.

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.

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.
