Applications of Robots

1. Material Transfer
The robot is used to move the work part from one location to another it includes
a. pick and place operation
b. transfer of work parts from one conveyor to another
c. palletizing and depalletizing
2. Machine loading and unloading
In this robot is used for loading a work part to a production machine and after machining it is unloader.
eg. Die casting - unloader part from die
Hot Forging - loaded the hot billet into the die, hold it during the process and then remove
injection moulding, press working,etc.
3. Welding
a. Spotwelding - Robots helps to position the welding gun at correct location, squeeze the two electrode against welding parts,weld and hold the workpiece,release the tool
b. Arc welding - Contouring robots are used for are welding
- high productivity
- improve safety
- high quality weld
4. Spray Painting
Since spray painting is hazards to human being we are using robots.
- high quality coating
- lower material usage
5. Processing Stations Coperation
It is done by collection the tool to the robot's wrist as end effector,drilling, riveting, grinding,polishing can be done using robot.
6. Assembling and Inspections
Robots can used for assembly and inspection is also hundred percent. Mechanical prop.,optical sensor, used for inspection.
- PUMA assembly
