ROBOT for sorting and feeding the component and put it on a conveyor belt

johnstro

Hello,

I have a component which is semicircle in shape. The component is kept in a box so that the arc surface of semicircle is at top. A robot has to pick the component and should keep it on a conveyor belt and conveyor belt will lead that component to a laser engraving machine.

My question is what is the step by step process that I have to do? I don,t have enough experience in robotics. Which robot should I buy and how to program it? Which software I have to learn to do the task described above.

Payload (the mass of the part and the tool to pick it up) and the reach required (distance from the robot to the pick and place positions) are the basic factors in selecting the robot.

For small payloads there are many different types of robot to choose from also (collaborative (Yumi), SCARA, Delta (Flexpicker or IRB360), as well as standard 6 axis articulated).

The speed required (number of pick/place cycles required per minute) may narrow the above choice.

RAPID is the ABB programing language, you can download and use RobotStudio (30 day free trial license) to practice programing from here: https://new.abb.com/products/robotics/robotstudio/downloads
