Handling systems
Gantry robots
system overview
Customised gantry robots
For handling tasks across large areas we can add a third axis to our line gantries or implement customised solutions tailored fully to the customer’s requirements. Numerous options e.g. rotary axes or several slides on one axis, complement our portfolio. Extensive interfaces for actuators and sensor systems permit the use of a wide range of grippers and end effectors.
Applications
Customised gantry robots
Stacking of cut blanks
Task
- Stacking cut blanks and flat formed parts starting in an undefined position precisely on pallets and in load carriers
The Strothmann solution
- Expanding a linear gantry SRLSM 2/040 to create an area gantry
- Additional rotary axis and vacuum gripper
- Position detection by integrated vision system
- Uninterrupted container change by integrated RoundTrack system and carriage with lifting function
- Intelligent process sequence with double pick function for optimised cycle times
Material handling in measuring cell
Task
- Handling of heavy glass lenses in an air-conditioned measuring chamber and loading and unloading of a measuring unit with minimal heat introduction into the working area
The Strothmann solution
- Customised area gantry
- Minimal heat introduction thanks to stationary drives outside of the measuring chamber for all axes
- Vertical axis drive using torsion shaft
- Maximum repeat accuracy ±0.2 mm
- Component tracking by RFID
- Material feeding and discharge via linear shuttle
