FANUC M-1iA Delta Robots - Cosmetics pick and place: [ Ссылка ]
FANUC America Authorized System Integrator Farason Corporation’s Cosmetic Brush “Farafeeder” uses two high-speed FANUC M-1iA delta robots to pick a variety of brush caps off a conveyor and insert them into bottles. Both FANUC robots are equipped with custom-designed End-of-Arm-Tools, and multiple vision inspections are performed throughout the process to ensure quality.
The system starts as brush caps are fed into the machine by a brush cap hopper. A paddlewheel spreads out the brush caps evenly and in a single layer. Two FANUC M-1iA/0.5AL lightweight delta robots use their custom grippers to pick brush caps off the conveyor. The robots synchronize with FANUC iRPickTool Visual Line Tracking to locate the position of the brush caps on the conveyor. Brush caps that are not picked fall onto a return conveyor and are transported back into the brush cap hopper for reprocessing.
The robot end-of-arm-tools rotate upward and place the brush caps into a pair of servo-driven insertion tools. Meanwhile, another conveyor feeds empty bottles into the machine, and a feedscrew indexes the bottles to a position under the insertion tools. The insertion tools lower and place the brush caps into the bottles. After the brush caps are inserted, the feedscrew indexes them under an inspection camera to ensure that the caps were inserted correctly. Bottles that pass inspection are sent to the downstream equipment, while bottles that fail inspection are sent to a reject conveyor.
With the help of two high-speed FANUC M-1iA delta robots, this machine can produce more than 60 parts per minute. To learn more about FANUC America Authorized System Integrator Farason, please visit [ Ссылка ].
