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.

Simplicity is the Key!

Posted on 28. February 2011 by wp_admin

Over the last few months there is one thing that I’ve heard from clients over and over again. ‘ How simple the Robotunits system is to use’.

There is no requirement to milling, drilling or welding when working with Robotunits products. The only machining that needs to be done is cutting the extrusions to length and tapping the ends. That’s it, job done ready for assembly. This saves our clients an enormous amount of time and money.

In December we had a client ring us to make some modifications to a machine frame. Six horizontal members were to be moved by 50mm. They thought it was going to be a time consuming job and put the installation of the project back for days!!! We arrived at their premises at 10am with only a set off allan keys and a ruler. They total job was finished by 11am the same day. All we had to do was undo the fasteners, move the t-nuts into position and fasten it all up again.

A system like Robotunits allows the user to make adjustments on the fly without expensive and time consuming machining or engineering. Be it our conveyors, linear motion units, safety fencing or a specially designed frame, modifications are always easily possible.
