Why Choose A Robotic Solution?
Robot systems are an excellent option to keep your business relevant in an ever competitive climate. The below are a few reasons your company should consider integrating robotics into your process:
Ready and Willing to Work
Robots don’t get sick, and they don’t complain. Once a robot is deployed, tested, and commissioned, they are fully capable to work continuously often times in 24/7 operation.
Flexibility and Reconfiurability
Even today’s standard 6-axis robots can perform astonishingly complex motions and tasks with speed, forces, and level of precision that a human operator is physically incapable of matching. With a bit of programming and tooling updates, a single robot can be quickly reconfigured to perform different operations/recipes, or fully re-purposed for a completely unrelated operation.
Return On Investment
Although robots have an upfront cost for system components and installation, this investment is almost always offset by the amount of manual operator hours that can be re-allocated and saved. It is not uncommon for a Return-on-Investment of a newly implemented robotic system to be measured in months.
Robotic Solutions by ProDesign
A robot on its own typically cannot do much without the proper tooling, programming, and integration with external systems. The Prodesign Robotics Group can assist you with any and all aspects of your robotic workcell to ensure your final objectives are achieved. Below is just a sample of what our robotics group can do for you.
End Of Arm Tooling (EOAT) Design
Today’s modern 6-axis robots can make complex motions with precision and force unrivaled by that of a human. But all the convoluted motions are of no use if the robot isn’t equipped with the proper tool at the end of robot. Whether you need to position a delicate part, or move something more robust, we can work with you to design the ideal tooling required. Grippers, vacuum cups, arm mounted inspection, sensors – whatever you need, we will custom design and build a solution tailored to your project needs.
Programming and PLC Integration
Whether your project requires simple open-loop motion or a more complex logic based program with sensor and PLC integration, Prodesign staff can develop custom code to suit your specific application. Our in-house programming staff can get your application code-ready in short order for both PLC and robot side.
