Applications of Material Handling Robots
Material handling tasks are often tedious, dull, and can be prone to injuries. Material handling
robots will advance the efficiency of your line and increase the quality of your products, while
keeping your workers safe.
Applications
1. Part Transfer
2. Packaging
3. Palletizing
1. Part Transfer
Though part transfer was once done entirely by hand, companies have now converted to
robot part transfer systems as a way to save on labor costs and speed up production
processes
Part transfer automation also increases accuracy and precision, which helps shops to create
a better product.
Recent technological advancements in robot end of arm tooling and vision system are
making robot part transfer automation even more attractive
2. Packaging
Packaging robots are very flexible, by adjusting the EOAT a robot can complete any
packaging process. The application specific capabilities of packaging robots have
expanded with improvements to EOAT and vision technology.
Many manufacturing managers see robot packaging as necessity
Packaging robots offer companies saving on labour costs, as well as higher ROI with the
increase in productivity
3. Palletizing
Industrial palletizing refers to loading and unloading parts, boxes or other items to or form
pallets.
