A great application where a collaborative robot is the ideal solution.
In this application, product from another process needs to be reintroduced to the production line. A Universal Robot UR5 mounted onto a movable trolley is wheeled into position. Trays of product are loaded onto the trolley and the robot proceeds to place them onto the in-feed conveyor as a consistent line rate of 60 cards per minute.
No fixed guarding and safe operator access to the robot loading area for changing trays without stopping has the robot and operator safely working collaboratively within the same work space.
