The structure of the manufacturing cell includes a Kawasaki F S 10E 6-axis
articulated arm industrial robot with 10 kg payload, equipped with an ATI RC 340E radially compliant deburring end-effector featuring 40000 rpm spindle and 340 W machining power connected through an automatic ATI QC 04lET tool changer.
The 7-axis
articulated arm operates much like a human arm, and is available in measuring ranges of 6', 9', 10', and 12'.
Kingstown, R.I.) notes that
articulated arms are "a perfect complement to our bridge CMM lines.
Designed to reduce running costs, Lightjet can be easily integrated on production lines because of its
articulated arm and compact print head.
It can also offer varied services to different manufacturers with very specific needs, which may be as diverse as an
articulated arm run by computer, bar coding, vision systems, automated retrieval and storage systems to automated guided vehicles.
While Cartesian robots are generally mounted above the fixed platen of a molding machine and operate mostly above and near the side of the machine,
articulated arm robots are most commonly positioned on the floor beside the press.
The range, which currently includes over 20 different options for food manufacturers to choose from, is made up of Cartesian,
articulated arm and delta-style robots.
It offers the automation capability of a traditional CMM and the mobility and part accessibility of an
articulated arm. It combines an internal 7-axis
articulated arm with an external skeleton driven by electric motors, creating a measuring robot that drives a MMD laser scanner along the programmed motion path.
