Motoman dual arm robot in biomedical cell

Published on Oct 15, 2013

This DA series dual arm MOTOMAN robot from YASKAWA is working in a biomedical cell. This highly agile and flexible robot features 15-axis. It provides unrivalled degrees of freedom and is designed to work in spaces normally occupied by people. Robotic automation in the biomedical industry is particularly beneficial as tasks can be carry out faster with a higher levels of accuracy and also eliminates exposure to potentially hazardous and dangerous substances.

Motoman SDA series 15 axis robots

Published on Oct 22, 2013

The SDA series of MOTOMAN 15-axis robots from YASKAWA deliver ultimate flexibility for applications that require high precision or in hazardous environments such as biomedical applications. It can operate in work work spaces and with equipment designed for humans.

The key benefits of this type of robot are:

A very small footprint that allows the robot to work in confined spaces.

The hands can be equipped with simple grippers, universal grippers, tools and multi-tools.

The optional vision system provides additional intelligence.

Each of the arms can work together on a process or separately on totally different processes.

Ultimate flexibility due to two 7-axis arms plus a base rotation.

Available with 5, 10, 20 kg handling capacities per arm means that this robot can be utilised for a wide range of process tasks where high flexibility is a requirement.

Electrical and pneumatic interfaces are routed though the arm of the robot and terminate at the wrist eliminating. This eliminate interference with fixtures or any other external items and facilitates robot programming.

Motoman robot unloading trailer

Published on Oct 28, 2013

This video shows a MOTOMAN robot from YASKAWA unloading a floor-loaded trailer. The robot is mounted on a mobile platform that navigates into the trailer. Perception technology from Industrial Perception Inc finds the wall of cases (or boxes), then locates individual cases taken into account size and orientation. Next the robot picks the case and places it on the outfeed conveyor.

In this configuration, the truck unloader can achieve single pick rates of 600-700 cases per hour. With further refinement and optimisation rates of 800 -- 1,000 cases per hour are within reach.

The system is designed and engineering by Wynright in the USA, www,wynright.com

Motoman robot in press brake application at The Peeters Group

Published on Nov 14, 2013

This video hows a MOTOMAN robot from YASKAWA in a press brake tending application at The Peeters Group in The Netherlands, who supply agricultural equipment. The system was engineered by The Haco Group in Belgium who delivered the entire cell along with the programming software for the robot and press brake.

The system:
The cell features a standard press brake tending concept with a robot on a servo controlled rotating base, which provides the robot with additional reach. Blanks are picked up from a stack using a vacuum gripper and referenced on an inclined roller bed table. The robot manipulates the sheet through the press brake in a coordinated process thanks to the programming software that was developed by HACO. At the end of the bending process the robot places the bent part on a pallet.

Key benefits:
Increased productivity.
More accurately bent sheets aid the subsequent robot welding process allowing sub-assemblies to be produced more efficiently and with improved quality.
Reduced dependence on manual labour.

Motoman dual arm robot with adaptive gripper and 3D vision

Published on Nov 14, 2013

This video shows a MOTOMAN dual arm robot from YASKAWA which was showcased at the Technishow 2012 in the Netherlands by Robomotive. The demonstration shows how a robot can be used to assemble cart wheels using an adaptive gripper from ROBOTIQ and a 3D vision system for random bin picking. It is a good example of how robotic automation can be implemented using intelligent auxiliary equipment for small batch manufacturing.
