Cycle Times Under 10 Seconds with FANUC CRX Cobot Machine Tending

Описание: Bright IA engineered a multi-machine tending robotic work cell for the adhesive industry to improve flexibility and reduce labor requirements.

This robotic cell uses a FANUC CRX-10iA cobot to automate handling of adhesive and caulking cartridges across four machines. It picks empty cartridges, verifies orientation with a vision system, loads them into a filler, then places filled cartridges into a capping machine or drawers based on SKU via HMI.

Key benefits:
• Improved Cycle Time: Maintains or improves previous cycle times, staying under 10 seconds per cartridge.
• Operator Safety: Dual safety scanners and collaborative robot technology protect personnel while allowing industrial-speed operation.
• Labor Reduction: Reduces personnel requirements from two to three operators to one or zero, depending on SKU.
• Seamless Integration: FANUC cobot combined with Siemens PLC delivers robust communication and control.
