Three-axis handling with a FILO buffer
In the production of titanium screws, a handling solution needs to lift the baskets containing the screws from the main conveyor life to the buffer conveyor or tip the containers into a funnel.
The solution needs to process different screw types in no particular order and be able to handle both full and empty baskets. The cycle time at this station is about one minute per basket.
mk Solution
Three-axis handling with a swivelling device. An LZR 2005 linear module with a stroke of about 2600 mm provides the movement along the X-axis. Pneumatic guide units provide movement along the Y-axis and Z-axis. A turning unit with a swivel stroke of 180° completes the handling solution. The handling solution is equipped with a fork gripper system that can grip the custom screw baskets and secure them with an electromagnet.
