A precise solution to the placement of caps and subsequent screwing of the cap to a set torque was implemented by Aylesbury Automation utilising DENSO Robots supplied by AA Robotics.
The DENSO robot based machine has been introduced as a result of increasing product demand.
There is no PLC in the production cell, all the machines functions are coordinated by the multi tasking DENSO robot controller using Devicenet I/O , giving a considerable cost saving. Six background tasks operate to control 128 I/O points and all status and error messages are shown on the robot HMI.
AA Robotics distributes DENSO robots in the UK and Ireland. Their range is from 3Kg up to 20Kg payload in 4-axis or 6-axis arm configurations with a reach from 400mm to 1300mm. Denso robots have a fast 0.3 seconds pick and place operation which is repeatable to 0.015mm.
