Palleting hard metal indexable inserts

Task

Palleting up to 20,000 randomly placed indexable inserts in a very small area as well as workpiece-aligned loading and unloading of a Junker grinding machine.
Cycle time: 20 sec.
Workpiece exchange time in the machine: 4.0 sec.
Workpiece weight: approx. 0.03 kg – 0.20 kg
Workpiece dimensions: approx. Ø 5.0 mm - Ø 25.0 mm to approx. 10.0 mm – 35.0 mm

Solution

Palleting system with integrated KUKA six-axis industrial robot and a high definition camera system for recognition of the shape and position of the indexable inserts. The workpieces are loaded and unloaded by means of a GÜDEL ZP-1 dual-axis portal integrated in the machine, optional suction, magnetic or mechanical gripper technology.
