The task first. The device second.
Hardly anyone searches for an articulated-arm manipulator. People search for the task: fitting a gearbox, turning a sheet of metal, moving a drum in a hazardous area. Here is what those tasks look like, what they hinge on technically, and what we solve them with.
- Cases
- 18
Fitting gearboxes on the assembly line
The weight is not the problem. The repetition is.
- Component
- Gearbox, engine, axle
- Weight incl. gripper
- 60 to 125 kg
- Cycle
- under 60 seconds
Turning sheet metal at the press brake
It is not the weight that forces two people. It is the area.
- Component
- Sheet metal, 1 to 3 mm
- Format
- up to 2,000 × 1,000 mm
- Weight
- 15 to 50 kg
Moving drums in hazardous areas
The zone is in the document. The equipment follows from it.
- Container
- drum 200 l, canister 30 l
- Weight
- 200 to 250 kg
- Zone
- zone 1 (gas), partly zone 21
Supporting torques up to 600 Nm
The torque goes into the arm – or into the person.
- Tool
- pneumatic or cordless nutrunner
- Tool weight
- 4 to 9 kg
- Torque
- 120 to 600 Nm
Moving eight hundred cartons a shift
Twenty-five kilos are allowed. Eight hundred times twenty-five are not.
- Container
- carton, pack, sack
- Weight
- 5 to 25 kg
- Quantity
- 600 to 900 per shift
Removing mouldings from the machine
The reach into the mould area is the most expensive of the shift.
- Component
- moulding, partly hybrid part
- Weight
- 8 to 60 kg
- Condition
- warm, deformation-sensitive
Loading film reels into the machine
Any crane can pick it up. The unit has to hit the shaft.
- Reel
- film, paper, non-woven
- Weight
- 40 to 300 kg
- Diameter
- 300 to 1,200 mm
Moving sacks and packs in the wet area
What cannot be cleaned will not be used.
- Pack
- sack, crate, container
- Weight
- 15 to 40 kg
- Quantity
- 300 to 700 per shift
Palletising sacks from the bagging line
Fifteen tonnes a day, sack by sack, with the back.
- Component
- Valve or pillow sack
- Weight
- 15 to 50 kg
- Cycle
- 6 to 12 sacks a minute
Setting glass panes and glazing
Glass does not forgive a second attempt.
- Component
- Insulating, laminated or facade glass
- Format
- up to 3,500 × 2,000 mm
- Weight
- 60 to 400 kg
Setting battery modules into the housing
A module that knocks is not damaged. It is quarantined.
- Component
- Cell module, battery pack
- Weight incl. gripper
- 25 to 80 kg
- Joining clearance
- 3 to 8 mm per side
Changing moulds on the injection moulding machine
The machine is not idle because it is broken. It is idle because it is being set up.
- Component
- Injection mould, mould insert
- Weight
- 200 to 2,000 kg
- Frequency
- 2 to 15 changes a week
Mounting wheels on the assembly line
Lifting is not the work. Aligning is.
- Component
- Complete wheel, car to commercial vehicle
- Weight
- 20 to 90 kg
- Cycle
- 30 to 90 seconds per wheel
Feeding profiles and tubes to the saw
Six metres of steel is not a weight. It is a lever.
- Component
- Profile, tube, beam
- Length
- 3 to 6 m, longer on request
- Weight
- 20 to 250 kg
Moving and standing up gas cylinders
The cylinder does not fall while being lifted. It falls while being tipped.
- Component
- Compressed gas cylinder 10 to 50 l
- Weight
- 20 to 90 kg
- Height
- up to 1,700 mm
Loading panels onto the CNC
Two people carry the panel. One of them carries only its size.
- Component
- Chipboard, MDF, plywood or coated panel
- Format
- up to 2,800 × 2,070 mm
- Weight
- 25 to 120 kg
Changing pumps and valves in maintenance
There is no crane above the pump. There is a pipe rack.
- Component
- Centrifugal pump, motor, gate valve, valve
- Weight
- 50 to 300 kg
- Frequency
- planned and unplanned, several times a month
Tipping and emptying containers
The container is not hard to lift. It is hard to meter.
- Component
- Mesh pallet, small load carrier, drum, special container
- Weight
- 50 to 800 kg
- Tipping angle
- up to 135 degrees
