Sawyer Variability Demo - adapting to real-world variability
Published on Sep 29, 2015
Quote:
The plant floor can be a chaotic place, with constantly changing conditions that make it challenging for conventional automation. Our robots are specifically designed to work in these “real world” environments. They can pick up items that aren’t precisely aligned, then re-orient and place them correctly. Their unique combination of compliance and advanced sensing technology means they adapt to your environment, rather than having to adapt your environment to them.

Sawyer at Work - Machine Tending: CNC
Published on Apr 15, 2016
Quote:
Machine tending can be among the most unpleasant jobs in any plant, but our robots are right at home in this role. Their ability to integrate with other automation make them a great solution for coordinating with the varied cycle times involved with a multi-machine operation. Baxter is on the job tending press brakes, loading/unloading machines, supporting finishing operations, and performing other tasks requiring machine interaction today. And Sawyer is specifically designed for high performance, high precision machine tending tasks such as circuit board testing.

Sawyer at work: machine tending demo at Hannover Messe 2016
Published on May 5, 2016
Quote:
Collaborative robot Sawyer picks material from a tray and maneuvers into a tight space showcasing the versatility of the 7 degree of freedom arm. It loads the part into the machine chuck. Even if the part is somewhat off-center or misaligned during the insertion into the chuck- as the three jaws clamp, the compliance in the arm allows the robot to absorb the forces and adapt to the environment.
The robot, through I/O, signals the machine to clamp the part. The arm then moves to a position to push physical buttons and work like a human would to start the machine indicated by the yellow light on the light stack. The robot moves back into position to remove the parts, the robot signals the machine to release the part. The task also leverages the RPS with landmarks in which many times during throughout the show, the machine could easily be re-registered to the new position and effortlessly put it back to work.
