Title
Robot M-10iD/16S was placed at the beginning of the entire packing line. Its major responsibility was to collect the non-folded cardboard boxes from the movable tray of the cardboard feeder. The robot proceeded to insert this cardboard into the appropriate position of the cardboard pre-sealing mechanism from the bottom and then returned to its home position.
Pro
The robot has been successful in operating in a highly limited space. It also managed to handle a demanding sequence of movements that repeated every few seconds. Adequate lifting capacity allowed us to design a suitable gripper that collects the cardboards from the movable tray of the cardboard feeder.
Con
During the robot's application, there were slight difficulties in assigning the proper sequence of movements. The complexity of the sequence led to several collisions involving adjacent mechanisms and fixed structures. Sometimes, due to unknown reasons, the robot was losing its positions and was moving erratically in unforeseeable ways, but we finally succeeded to deal with this problem.
