ZLT Automation | Our Capabilities| Robot
Handling
Overview
ZLT Automation provides robot handling solutions for
leading UK companies in most of the main industries
including amongst others food, woodworking and process
handling Industries. All systems have been successfully
installed by utilising leading robot technology supplied
by Motoman Robotics. In conjunction with the provision
of ZLT modular robot interface control systems, on site
robot cell installation and strong project management,
robot handling systems have been successfully integrated
into new and existing customer manufacturing processes.
Scope of Supply
(Standard robot cell)
Main items:
a) Multi-axis Motoman Robot and dedicated PC based controller.
b) Modular interface control panels for safety systems
and power switching equipment.
c) Operator interface pushbutton stations.
d) Associated guarding and safety equipment.
e) Robot attachments.
Technical
The robots are of the multi axis servo controlled type
selected from the Motoman extensive range of rigid design
robots supporting high speed movements and heavy payloads.
All robots are supplied with a standard range of electrical
and mechanical interface attachments together with load
handling attachment (gripper) to suit the
customer load handling requirements. The PC based robot
controller with integrated Plc provides high path accuracy
and motion control for each axis with the ability to
offer unlimited communications with other systems. A
user friendly touch screen pendant provides access to
all operations of the robot from programming to maintenance.
Interface electrics for control and interface to power
and safety elements forming part of the robot cell are
designed on a standard modular basis for isolation and
separation purposes allowing flexibility of installation
and future expansion capability.
Cell guarding is effected by aluminium fencing components
having welded mesh infill panels. The guarding is supplied
with door access as required and all necessary safety
interlock switches and safety light barrier systems
to form the complete safety system. Functional testing
of the cell and pre commissioning software trials are
carried out before delivery of the cell. On completion
of the cell build at the customers premises, software
commissioning and functionality to meet the customers
performance criteria are completed by commissioning
engineers before final handover.
Summary
By the use of standard components and a
modular approach to all customer application requirements
our robot handling solutions are designed to be cost
effective and flexible in their installation and operation. |
