OMRON Collaborative Robot Use-Cases
Ranked Nr. 243 of 218 Cobots
OMRON TM Collaborative Robots are designed for a wide
variety of applications in a number of industries.
Assembly:
Our cobots can improve throughput and consistency of
repetitive or complex assembly tasks including part joining,
insertion, tool changing, and working alongside people.
Mobile Manipulation:
Mounting an OMRON TM cobot onto an OMRON LD mobile
robot, this robotics solution automates not only transportation
of goods but also complicated picking operations.
Palletizing:
Our space-saving cobots can streamline end-of-line case
stacking onto a pallet. With the Operator Platform, users can
build their own palletizing software with a customized interface.
Packaging/Pick and Place with Inspection:
With built-in vision and lighting, our cobots can inspect, sort
and pick up products from a conveyor belt before putting them
into cases. Customers can quickly adapt production lines to new
products or seasonal models.
Machine Tending:
A cobot can be used to tend CNC machines, injection molding
machines, stamping and punch pressers, grinding, and cutting
machines, relieving workers from repetitive and dangerous work.
Screwdriving:
Our cobots add precision and consistency to your screwdriving
and parts fastening applications. A complete ready-to-use
solution is provided with a screwdriving kit and pneumatic
control box.
Dispensing:
Our cobots add flexibility, efficiency, and freedom to gluing,
sealing, painting and other dispensing tasks. Users can record
the path using the hand guide and any complex paths can be
deployed within minutes.
Collaborative robots working alongside employees to boost the capabilities of manufacturing Techman Robot
Problem
Schoeneck Containers, Inc. (SCI), a family-owned, family-operated company based in Wisconsin that manufactures plastic containers for diverse consumer and commercial markets throughout the world, began considering a collaborative robotic solution to keep up with production demands in the face of a severe labor shortage. This solution would involve robotic technologies working alongside employees to augment the capabilities of SCI’s team. They are suffering from a labor shortage.
Solution
The cobot takes a row of 10 bottles at a time and places them onto the conveyor of the production line. The solution is re-deployable.
Outcome
With the help of a Wisconsin industrial equipment distributor and system integrator named Sure Controls. SCI was able to get the robot up and running in a single day. The team quickly saw major improvements in customer satisfaction as well as a significant boost in overall production flexibility.
