Robot Cell

Project Details:

Total Value:            $190 000
Year Completed:    2025
Duration:                2 years

Background:

The project required the development of a jig to ensure precise placement of bit holders on a drum. Accurate three-dimensional orientation and radial positioning of the bit point were essential to optimize drum efficiency and extend its operational lifespan.

Description:

A jig was engineered to position bit holders on the drum, accommodating two angular orientations. Following a review with the client and an external expert, it was determined that a third angular constraint was critical. This additional requirement necessitated the use of a robotic system for precise bit holder placement. A collaboration was formed with Yaskawa to develop a robotic cell tailored for this application.
