New Generation Robot Cells

Posted on 15. May 2013 by wp_admin

To succeed in today’s flexible automation, Delta Robots are indispensable these days for certain applications. Accuracy combined with high speed increase productivity and are therefore essential for successful companies.

Robotunits is setting new standards in the area of robot cells with their patented aluminium extrusion and connection technology. This technology guarantees lifelong vibration-proof connections and overall cell strengths comparable to welded steel frames. All this combined with the ability to easily add doors and other components to the frame make a very efficient alternative to the traditionally welded frames.

This application shows a Spider Robot with an additional camera for accurate orientation and positioning of parts. This robot frame is entirely built with standard components of the Robotunits Modular Automation System. The form-located and therefore vibration-proof connection technology in conjunction with the patented aluminium extrusion technology guarantees life-long strength and precision. Users of these robot cells additionally benefit from significantly shorter manufacturing times of the cells as well as easy integration of conveying technology in and out of the cell.

Stronger, Faster and more Flexibility

Traditional steel welded cells are inflexible and require a high number of manufacturing processes. Changes and additions to cells are ineffective and expensive. By using a Robotunits Cell however, you are reducing your manufacturing time and increase your flexibility considerably.

Facts and Benefits of a Robotunits Robot Cell:

Vibration proof frame construction comparable in strength to a welded steel construction
Easy integration of components (safety switches, cameras etc)
Changes and additions to cells are easy and cost effective
Modern aesthetics through aluminum extrusion technology
Reduced lead time of frames
Modular design allows faster delivery
Combination with the entire modular automation system from Robotunits without the need of expensive interface components
Seamless integration of Robotunits Conveyor technology

Crossover Conveyor

Posted on 8. February 2013 by wp_admin

Robotunits Australia has released a crossover conveyor. It is a very costeffective solution to transport goods around a 90-degree corner. Generally, modular or slat-chain conveyors have to be used in these situations but they are quite expensive in comparison. Crossover Conveyors can be built to a maximum of 200mm belt width. Lightweight products, which don’t have to be placed in a particular orientation, are best suited for the crossover conveyor. The unit is based on standard Robotunits C4N Conveyors and can therefore be delivered within one working week from time of order. Of course each crossover conveyor is designed to exact customer specifications.

Robotunits has recently delivered a conveyor where the angle of incline had to be adjustable. The customer needed the angle to be changeable from 20 degrees to 40 degrees. Speed of delivery was also very crucial for the customer. By combining our standard C8N Belt Conveyor with our Modular Automation System as well as a third party hydraulic adjustement system we managed to deliver a fully customised solution in less than two weeks from time of order.

Team Robotunits – Gravity 12hour Mountain Bike Enduro Race

Posted on 6. February 2013 by wp_admin

We here at Robotunits take our work extremely seriously. Everything we do is based on our core values.

- Fast & Direct

- Solution and Goal Orientated

- Honest & Open

- Fun & Friendly

All these values are very important to us here at Robotunits. We believe these are the foundation to our customers as well as our own success. Lately we have been expanding some of those values outside of our normal working hours. We decided to put together a team to ride in the Gravity 12hour Mountain bike Challenge. The idea was to open it to our employees as well as suppliers and customers. It was all a bit short notice but a team of four was quickly found with Adam Elford, Paul Brauer, Grant Tartaro and myself up for the challenge. We even managed to get in a few training rides in the weeks leading up to the event. So on Friday the 1^st of February, building of conveyors and other equipment here in our factory was scaled down and race preparation was all the rage. We arrived in Bright mid afternoon, set up our site and went straight for a training ride to check out the course. It all looked easy enough and we where confident for the race. Saturday morning it was all game on. Adam Elford was our first rider and all though he got caught up in the middle of the field after a hilarious “Le’mans” start managed to crank out one of the fastest laps of the day. I followed after Adam and managed a respectable time also. So did Paul and Grant. After that it was all getting a bit harder. First Adam had a flat about 500meters before the finish line and had to run to hand over to me. I quickly made up for some lost time only to loose front wheel grip about half way around the course. I rode the bike back in agony and still managed to limp back in a respectable time. Unfortunately my race day was over. So Adam, Paul and Grant stepped up and rode extra laps to make up for my misfortune.

Robotunits MTB Team 2013

In the end Adam did 5 laps, Paul and Grant did 3 each and I did only 2. With all that we came home 12^th out of 18 Teams of Four. We thought that was mighty respectable for our first race entry especially seeing that there have been professional Team entries from Bicycle Superstore and Torque. All in all, we accomplished our mission to have a lot of fun. My hand is almost back to normal and my rip will be fine again soon. We are already thinking of entering some other races and we will definatly be going back to compete again in the 2014 Gravity 12hour Mountain Bike Enduro Race. If you would like to join us please let us know. The more we are the more fun we’ll have.
