Automated Pick And Place Systems

Introduction

• Pick and place is the act of picking up things
  from one location and placing them in another.
  This system is required for assembly line
  packing, machine alignment, empty picking,
  inspection etc. This can be done by robot or
  gantry method. Automated Pick and Place systems
  have become a specialized branch in robotics,
  pick and place devices are usually mounted on a
  stand, strategically positioned to do their job
  in the work table. High speed pick and place
  robots can increase efficiency while reducing
  production costs and ergonomics issues.

Pick And Place Used For     

• There are four main ways that pick and place
  robots are used
• Assembly- Pick and place robots are usually used
  in this segment where they grab a manufacturing
  piece from a conveyor belt and then transfer the
  same to another conveyor belt. The best example
  in Electronic manufacturing Industry where they
  can be used for assembling PCB board
• Packaging Similar to assembly process, a pick
  and place robot grabs a piece on an incoming
  conveyor belt and, instead of assembling the
  part, the robot places it in a packaging
  container at a high speed. The best example would
  be Food and beverages Industry,. where the food
  items are preserved through micro packaging

Pick And Place Used For 

• Bin Picking Pick and place system can take grab
  even if the robots equipped with the advanced
  vision system mix the components from the bin at
  random and put them on the conveyor for
  production
• Inspection Stellar vision systems can watch
  products moving on an incoming conveyor belt and
  detect defective products, and then a pick and
  place a robot which can remove the defective
  product before it reaches the final phases of
  production

Advantage   

• Automates to processes that involve fast-moving
  conveyor
• Provides extremely high-speed output
• Eliminates fixtures therefore reducing cost
• Eliminates manpower
• Improved productivity and product quality
• They increase the safety of the working
  environment and actually never g get tired

  Application    

• Fast Assembly  Robots can pick parts from
  incoming conveyor and assemble them onto work
  pieces carried by an outgoing conveyor with high
  precision
• Inspection And Quality Control  The robot
  visually inspects and selects defective products
  moving on a fast conveyor
• Fast Packaging  Vision spots products spread out
  on moving conveyor and then the robot transfers
  them into packaging containers at high speed
• Fast Sorting - The robot immediately selects and
  separates the different types of parts that pass
  through the field of view

How Pick And Place Actually Controlled     

• A simple pick and place system can control the
  motion of the end effectors
• The motion may be to using hydraulic fluid, i.e.,
  hydraulic fluid under pressure, to the drive the
  robot, or using pneumatic motion. Using
  pressurized air to cause mechanical motion
• The most effective way is to use a motor to
  provide the necessary motion
• The robot must control the motor to provide the
  necessary action for the robot and the end
  effectors
