Loading and unloading machines
Artificial intelligence and ergonomic lifting
Loading and unloading machines ergonomically and efficiently - Schmalz supports metalworking companies in this. At Euroblech, the company will be presenting solutions for intelligent and ergonomic handling with vacuum.
A shortage of skilled workers and increasing cost pressure require clever systems such as the ivOS Sheet Metal Solution Kit from Schmalz. Metalworkers can use it to automate machine loading flexibly and economically from batch size 1 with the help of artificial intelligence. This enables efficient production and ensures competitiveness despite high part variance and fluctuating batch sizes. The kit combines 3D camera technology, the ivOS vision operating system and a flexible FMG matrix gripper that adapts to different workpieces. The learning AI recognizes each part and controls the individual suction cups of the vacuum gripper.
The SXT tooling system has proven itself in the construction of flexible gripper solutions on robots, for example for stacking, loading and unloading presses and for loading pallets or crates at the end of the line. The modular system can be quickly adapted to new requirements in the event of changes or retrofitting. The extensive modular system includes robot quick-change bayonets, clamping pieces, toothed connections and a wide range of suction pads for sheet metal handling. The new SAXB series will be followed this year by another innovation: the oval-shaped SAOXB high-speed suction pad. It is particularly suitable for workpieces with oiled surfaces or for machine loading and unloading.
