Indianapolis, IN -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/01/2015 -- Bastian Solutions' Chris Jurik, Robotics Field Applications Engineer, recently discussed factors to consider when fitting a robot into a machine tending application. Jurik noted in the company blog, "It is important to look at a number of criteria and weigh the pros and cons of each to determine which one is the best fit." According to Jurik, Bastian Robotics, incorporates creative designs coupled with the optimum advanced technologies to arrive at a robust machine tending solution that exceeds customers' expectations.
Robots are extremely precise machines, capable of placing parts in locations within +-.005 mm or better. This precision, however, is largely dependent on the reach and payload capabilities of the robot. For instance, typically as the payload or the reach of the robot goes up, the repeatability goes down. This is important to understand because the target of the machine being tended (usually the chuck), and the amount of clearance the part has within the chuck, will dictate how accurately the part must be placed.
