Part Pickup Error
Selecting the suitable Gripper
The selection of a suitable gripper is crucial for a good overall bend process. Flux RoboBend will select a suitable gripper but if gripper force overloads and collisions in the later process affect the solution, you might think of changing the gripper or designing a new one.
Changing the Gripper based on loading factor
-
In the shown example a too small gripper was selected which is overloaded by a factor of 5.
Using larger and sufficient suction cup Gripper
-
Changing the gripper with one which has more suction cups will be a first good step. With a more eccentric gripper many collisions already resolve.
-
To get more process stability you might even use larger suction cups with this gripper.
Changing Gripper to handle holes on part
-
The part has many holes which prevent a proper vacuum.
-
To resolve this you have to move the position of the gripper on the part.
-
In this position has enough vacuum and the issue is resolved.
