Automate has developed a new state-of-the-art robotic picking and packing technology. The Delta Robot offers high flexibility in a compact footprint for automated pick-and-place tasks empowered by a seamless integration of optimal machine design and machine control. This maintenance-free solution features outstanding accuracy, motion control and precision, combines software and control architecture to address automation challenges and allows the user to engineer at a very low cost.
Overview
• High performance and reliable real-time control system • Ease of program personalization suitable for the needed application • Accurate motion with a short cycle time and high precision • Optimal large workspace with large payload capacity for easy integration into production lines • Customizable design such as stainless option for food handling, soft grippers for fragile items picking.
Mechanical Features
• Payload: up to 3kg • Operating area covered: up to 100*100 cm • Operating height covered: up to 60 cm • Speed of operation: up to 120 picks per min • Material optimization: aluminum, hardened steel & carbon fiber • Increased accuracy due to high rigidity • Optimized kinematics and maneuverability • Maintenance-free joints & bearings • Centering fittings ensuring precise components assembling during manufacturing with a tolerance up to 0.001 mm. • Choice of gripper based on application for gentle handling
Software Design
• User-friendly HMI • Program personalization: Possibility for user to edit robot program & add modules on existing system • Predefined paths by manually moving the gripper from controller interface, physically moving robot gripper by hand, inputting 3D coordinate G-code • Complex path planning with specific dynamics is achieved by: Axis interpolation integrated in the kinematics in a closed-loop system with accurate trigonometric functions, “Looking Ahead” feature, smoothing with splines and path overriding
Additional Optional Features
• Vision software integration for locating items, detecting defects, sorting and avoiding hurdles.
• Artificial intelligence integration within the vision software
