Pick and place Up, across, and down

Up from the pick point, across at a fixed height, and down onto the place point. The move can last 0.3 s or span the whole plant.

Pick and place process path plate: the tool path traced many times over (up, across, and down). The open circle marks the start, the filled dot the end.

Process sequence

One path, four steps.

Scroll down and each step lights up in copper on the plate.

Pick and place sequence, plan view: the same cell seen from above. The numbers match the steps.
  1. 1. Locate

    An overhead camera finds each part’s position and orientation.

  2. 2. Pick

    A vacuum pad or gripper takes the part.

  3. 3. Check the grip

    An upward-looking camera checks the grip and corrects the place point.

  4. 4. Place

    The robot descends to the set height and places or inserts the part.

Design points

Designing the cell: three things first.

  1. 1. Cut vertical travel

    The lower the transfer height, the less time spent going up and down. We set the heights of nearby equipment together.

  2. 2. Two cameras

    One look before the pick and another before the place absorb part-to-part variation.

  3. 3. Long moves go mobile

    When stations are far apart, use an HG-M600 instead of laying conveyor. When the flow changes, just edit the map.

Recommended robots

Our first pick for this job.

Short moves, like pressing connectors into boards or moving parts out of trays, belong to SCARA robots. The HG-S6-50 runs the standard cycle in 0.32 s. A camera reads each part’s position and corrects the placement.

Long moves between processes belong to the HG-M600. It carries 600 kg along a mapped route and stops within ±3 mm at each station.

When the task sits on a workbench close to people, choose the HG-C5-09 cobot.
