Design of the handling process at the workplace with ABB robot and modular conveyor

Abstract

The article describes the modification of a modular conveyor for the needs of a robotic workplace equipped with a parallel robot. The workplace is equipped with an IRB 360/3 - 1130 robot, a Bosch modular conveyor equipped with pallets and a belt conveyor of its own production. The parallel robot is equipped with a suction cup enabling the removal of parts weighing up to 300 g. The proposed handling process envisages the transfer of cube-shaped parts from a modular conveyor to a belt conveyor. When designing the workplace, it was necessary to replace the damaged control unit in the modular conveyor, equip the conveyor with a system of additional sensors and program the workplace. The proposed workplace will serve as a demonstration workplace on the university, as well as for training students in programming robots and a modular conveyor
