Machine loading robots work efficiently, tirelessly, and accurately. Instead of workers having to load and unload parts, an integrated machine loading robot handles the loading application effectively and saves on labor costs. Machine loading robots increase productivity, which in turn increases revenue. Machine tending refers to watching over a machine while it performs a job, and the process of feeding parts in and out.
Many factories have automated their manufacturing with machine tending robots. Robotic machine tending technology increases productivity and profitability. Most types of machine tending are dull and dangerous work and require consistency. Today, robots perform many machine tending duties with ease.
Advantages
* Robotic machine tending is more accurate - minimizing problems that can occur when parts are placed in machines incorrectly * Part cycle speed increases when robots take over * Labor costs decrease as fewer workers are necessary to tend * Production benefits increase and ROI is quick * When product defects or machine problems occur, troubleshooting is simplified because human error has not been contributed
Press tending used to be a taxing, dangerous post. Loading and unloading parts from a press, operating the machine, and maintaining consistency with every part proved tedious work. Robots have changed this. They have taken over the job of placing blanks into press machines the same way every time. They are faster, more productive, and less likely to make mistakes. Robot press tending goes beyond simply moving parts in and out of machines. Robots can move parts around to three or four dies within the same press. Robots are also useful in rotating, flipping, tilting a part between press operations. Part transferring was once done entirely by hand. It was tedious, exacting work for workers. Robots are changing this part of production. Part transfer is faster, more cost-effective, and efficient with customized robots. Robots do not experience fatigue, or strain. They work at the same rate, increasing production and accuracy. Recent technological advancements in robot end of arm tooling and vision systems are making robotic part transferring even more attractive to companies.
