Güdel launches RoboBeam presswork parts handling system
Keywords: Robotics, Handling
Systems integration and parts handling specialist, Güdel UK has launched RoboBeam, the latest addition to its advanced range of work transfer and positioning solutions for high speed presswork applications (Plate 2).
Plate 2 RoboBeam
provides parts transfer between presses up to 8.5 m apart
Developed as a cross beam transfer system for use with tandem press lines or large single presses, RoboBeam provides fast, accurate and safe parts transfer between presses up to 8.5 m apart.
The system features an extremely rigid, modular design, which accommodates components and carriers weighing up to 120 kg. RoboBeam also combines high precision parts location with the ability to accelerate components at up to 40 m/s2 to a maximum horizontal velocity of 8 m/s; to provide jerk-free synchronised parts transfer at up to 18 cycles/min.
The system can be freely programmed in all axes – for complete application flexibility – and provides up to 400 mm component lift. A maximum vertical lift of 1,150 mm is available for tool changes and, like the companys PressTrans and Gull Wing transfer systems, RoboBeam can be supplied as both retrofit or original equipment options for most press types. In addition, the new system can be combined with Güdels range of blank de-stacker units or RoboFlex gantry mounted robot system to provide completely integrated floor-to-floor presswork material handling solutions.
