The use of 6-axis anthropomorphic robots in the glass industry is a strategic investment that optimizes production, improves safety, and significantly reduces operational costs.
With advanced and customizable solutions, anthropomorphic robots offer a wide range of benefits, including:
- Greater precision and repeatability by minimizing errors and damage to glass sheets
- Increased productivity and cost reduction. Thanks to faster movement and minimizing downtime, overall plant efficiency is improved.
- Safety and flexibility. Robots can handle heavy and large glass sheets, reducing the risk of injury to workers, and can be programmed to perform various tasks, such as loading, unloading, stacking, and handling glass sheets of different sizes and shapes
- Quality: The precision of the robots ensures careful handling of the sheets, minimizing scratches and breakage, thereby enhancing the final product quality.
Cugher offers advanced solutions by integrating manipulation with 6-axis robots and Vision Systems, optimizing your production processes and ensuring outstanding results in terms of precision, efficiency, and versatility.
Check out the benefits of using these robots below:
HANDLING GLASS SHEETS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND SHAPES
Vision systems allow robots to recognize and adapt to these variations, ensuring safe and precise handling. This approach is crucial for loading and unloading cutting, grinding, or tempering machines, where the position and orientation of the sheets must be controlled with extreme precision.
SAFE HANDLING OF FRAGILE MATERIALS
Glass is a fragile material that requires delicate handling. Vision systems allow robots to execute precise and controlled movements, reducing the risk of breakage and damage. This is especially important when handling large glasses or complex shapes, where the risk of damage is high.
INCREASED FLEXIBILITY IN PRODUCTION
The glass industry is often characterized by customized production. Vision systems allow robots to quickly adapt to changes in product specifications without requiring complex reprogramming. This leads to greater flexibility on the production line and reduced setup times.
OPTIMIZATION OF STACKING AND PACKAGING PROCESSES
Vision systems can be used to guide robots in the precise stacking of glass sheets, optimizing space and facilitating transportation. Additionally, they can be employed to monitor the packaging of sheets, ensuring that they are properly protected during transport.
The integration of anthropomorphic robots with vision systems in the glass industry represents a leap forward in terms of efficiency, precision, and safety. With these innovative solutions, companies are ready to respond promptly to the challenges of a constantly evolving market, improving productivity while maintaining high-quality standards.
