Automating USB Stick Handling with Robolink RL-DP-5 and Zimmer Gripper
Axial Ingenieurgesellschaft specializes in delivering tailored automation solutions across all project phases. For this application, a cost-effective yet reliable system was developed to automate the handling and recording of USB sticks, which were previously processed manually. Using the igus RL-DP-5 robotic arm and an all-electric gripper from Zimmer, USB sticks are sequentially removed from a tray, inserted into a USB HUB for software recording, and then precisely placed into a designated container. The ceiling-mounted robot arm operates within a wide and interference-free workspace, while a light barrier ensures the correct pickup of each stick before insertion.
What is the Application?
The system automates USB stick handling and recording, streamlining workflows in data-processing or logistics operations.
What are the Advantages of the Solution?
High Reliability: Light barrier ensures accurate stick pickup and placement.
Ease of Use: Intuitive software allows customer-driven adjustments for expansion.
Mobile Flexibility: The cell is location-independent for versatile usage.
What are the Advantages of the Robot?
The Robolink RL-DP-5 excels in USB handling tasks with:
Wide Workspace: Ceiling-mounted design ensures unobstructed motion.
Customizable Control: Software adapts easily to other stick sizes or tray alignments.
Precise Gripping: Electric Zimmer gripper secures accurate handling of lightweight components.
