Machine Load / Unload

John Hart Automation & Robotics has considerable experience in the supply of Robot systems for machine loading and unloading using reliable and cost effective technology.

Applications include:

•Machine Tools
•Presses
•Die casting machines
•Injection moulding machines

 

Robot Gantry

Gantries

Gantries are ideally suited to applications where floor space is at a premium and placing the robot above the machine still permits maintenance access at ground level. Typical applications would be removal of parts from an injection moulding machine or loading parts to a machine tool.

  • Unique amongst robot manufacturers, Fanuc offer a range of robots designed to operate on overhead gantries including the “Top Mount Robot” range, available in payloads from 6Kg to 200Kg
  • Robots are able to mount on the side or beneath the gantry, and travel along the gantry by means of a Fanuc servo motor and a rack and pinion drive.
  • The Fanuc servo motor is controlled using an additional axis card, located within the robot controller and programmed from the robot’s teach pendant.
  • Flexible power and signal cables are located within a drag chain to the robot, and are available in a range of lengths to suit different gantry sizes.

Floor Tracks

Floor tracks provide a cost effective means of allowing the robot to access multiple work stations which would normally be outside the reach of the robot.

  • These can be manufactured in a range of lengths, and are designed to meet the length and height requirements of the customer’s application
  • The floor track is bolted to the floor and conventional 4 and 6 axis robots are then mounted on the carriage plate which uses a Fanuc servo motor and rack and pinion drive to travel along the track.
  • Robots running along the floor tracks position using the servo motor and communicate via flexible power and signal cables located within a drag chain.
  • Prior to installing the gantry or floor track, JHA&R carry out thorough in-house testing on all their products, ensuring the customer can safely and successfully maximize the potential of their Fanuc robot upon delivery.
