Robots can achieve many functions, but there are two main functions that can be achieved in the packaging field, one is boxing and the other is palletizing. No matter which function, it will involve the problem of grabbing position. Generally, the grabbing position for boxing is relatively simple, because most materials are arranged in a single row, but for palletizing, it will be relatively complicated, because according to different pallet sizes and carton sizes, the pallet type can be changed frequently, so there are certain requirements for the design of the grabbing position. Today, YUPACK will share with you the design method of the grabbing position of the palletizing robot.
1. Grab at the end of the conveyor line. This is a very common and very simple way to design a grabbing position. Generally, the material will go to the end of the conveyor and be blocked by the dead gear of the conveyor. If you want to grab more accurately, you can use a side push function to push the material to the side, so that the material will be grabbed at a fixed coordinate position each time.
2. Grab at a certain position in the middle of the conveyor line. Generally, this design is because there may be other items at the bottom of the material that do not need to be grabbed, such as a pad under the material. After the material is grabbed and stacked, the pad must continue to move forward to the next station. In this case, it is necessary to grab at a certain position in the middle of the conveyor, which is not difficult. You only need to place a jacking block at this position, and arrange a side push on the side. The two cylinders can coordinate to position the material at a relatively accurate coordinate position, and the palletizing robot can also grab it very accurately.
3. Grab on the ground. This is the simplest way to grab. You only need to place a locator on the ground so that the material to be grabbed can be placed in a fixed position every time.
In summary, if the robot wants to grab the object accurately, it must have a fixed and accurate coordinate given to it, so that it can grab according to the set program. Therefore, no matter what kind of grab position design method is adopted, as long as the coordinate is fixed, it will be fine.
