Robot selection depends on payload requirements, reach distance, accuracy needs, and speed requirements. SCARA robots excel in high-speed, precise applications, while articulated robots offer greater flexibility for complex tasks.
Cycle time is influenced by travel distance, robot speed, acceleration/deceleration, gripper operation time, vision processing time, and accuracy requirements. Optimizing these factors can significantly improve throughput.
Vision systems enable flexible handling of varying part positions, orientations, and types. They're essential for applications requiring part recognition, quality inspection, or handling of randomly positioned items.
Safety requirements include proper guarding, emergency stops, safety-rated sensors, risk assessment compliance, and operator training. Collaborative robots may reduce safety requirements but still need proper risk assessment.
Clean room environments require special materials and sealing. Food-grade applications need washdown capability and FDA-compliant materials. Hazardous areas require explosion-proof equipment and special certifications.
Regular maintenance includes gripper calibration, vision system cleaning, robot joint lubrication, and software updates. Predictive maintenance using sensor data can reduce downtime and extend equipment life.
