Cuts lead times
January 1st 2008 Cuts lead times
AA Robotics says time to market
for the introduction of new or
changed products can be reduced
from weeks to hours with its new
feeding system.
GRASP (Guided Robot Automatic
Sorting of Parts) uses a fast,
precise Denso Robot, an
integrated, high resolution Cognex
camera and a flex feed system.
Most parts can be fed using the
GRASP system and, usually, an
entire machine process can be
removed from many small
component manufacturing or
packaging tasks.
GRASP uses a vision system to
inspect parts, identify their shape
and orientate them correctly before
a robot places them in the next
process.
There is no requirement for a
bowl feeder or the necessity to fix
components in any way.
The system comes in various
forms, from a stand-alone machine
to a base plate that OEMs can build
into their machine or process. More articles from Aylesbury Automation Ltd: |
