Problem & outcome

What it solves

Problem & outcome

What it solves

The problem

Robot cells fail for predictable reasons: the reach and cycle were never simulated, the gripper was designed for one part instead of the family, or safety was added at the end. The robot itself is rarely the problem.

The problem

Intended outcome

A robot cell that meets its cycle time on the first production week, with documentation your maintenance team can use.

Approach, applications and scope

Technical scope

Engineering approach

We start with a reach and cycle study on the real part family and the real layout, choose the robot platform that suits the payload, the application and the site's existing standard, and design grippers and safety around it.

Typical applications

Handling and transfer between machines
Assembly and joining
Palletizing and depalletizing
Machine tending

Scope

Simulation, layout and safety concept
Gripper and fixture design
Robot and PLC programming
FAT in our integration hall, installation and SAT
