R-100 Automatic Robotic Stacker: Streamlining Thermoforming Production

Key Futures:

· Six-Axis Robot: Offers unparalleled flexibility and precision in handling thermoformed products.

· Specialized End-of-Arm Tooling: Equipped with multiple vacuum cups to ensure secure handling of products while connected to the web.

· Versatile Conveyor Integration: Products can be efficiently stacked or organized in rows for further processing or labeling.

· Synchronization with Thermoforming Machine: Utilizes encoder data for real-time speed adjustment, ensuring seamless integration with machine output.

· Flexible Product Organization: Capable of stacking products or arranging them in up to three rows to meet various production needs.

· Real-Time Feedback System: Ensures the robot’s movements are perfectly synced with the thermoforming machine for efficient operation.

The R-100 Automatic Robotic Stacker by SORSYS revolutionizes the handling of thermoformed products, seamlessly integrating with thermoforming machines to automate the transfer of products onto a conveyor system. This innovative solution is designed to either stack products for further processing or direct them towards a labeling station, enhancing efficiency and flexibility in production lines. Equipped with a six-axis robot and specialized end-of-arm tooling, the R-100 adeptly follows and secures a group of freshly thermoformed parts, still connected to the web, ensuring a smooth transition from formation to conveyor. Utilizing multiple vacuum cups, the system maintains a firm grip on the parts until they reach the stripping point, where they are precisely released from the web and placed onto the conveyor. The parts can then be organized into stacks or aligned in one to three rows, catering to specific production requirements. Critical to the R-100’s operation is the synchronization of the robot’s speed with the thermoforming machine’s output. This is achieved by monitoring the encoder data from the machine’s output roller, providing real-time feedback to the robot for flawless coordination.

R-200 Vision Guided Robotic Feeder – Precision Placement Unlocked

Key Futures:

• Vision-Guided Accuracy: A camera mounted above the shaker table relays orientation data to the robot, ensuring each pick is precise.

• Optimized Vibration Patterns: The shaker table’s calculated vibrations arrange parts into the ideal orientation for pickup, enhancing efficiency and reducing cycle time.

• 4-Axis Scara Robot: Specialized in swift and accurate movements, this robot reliably picks and positions parts onto an indexing table.

• Prepared for Diecasting: The indexing table precisely aligns the blades, prepping them for seamless transfer by a 6-axis robot into the diecasting mold.

• Vacuum End-of-Arm Tooling: Utilizes a vacuum mechanism for a secure grip on the blades, ensuring stability and precision during transfer.

• Ultra-Precise Nesting: Designed to place parts within a nest that allows a mere 0.05mm clearance, exemplifying the precision-engineered capabilities of the R-200.

In the fast-paced world of manufacturing, the SORSYS R-200 stands out as a beacon of innovation and efficiency. This vision-guided robotic feeder system represents a leap forward in the automation of component handling and placement, specifically designed to accommodate small, arrow-shaped steel blades with unmatched accuracy.

High-Precision Custom Automation for MIM Components

This custom automation project highlights SORSYS’s expertise in delivering precise, fully integrated robotic systems for advanced part handling, machining, and inspection. Designed specifically for high-precision MIM (Metal Injection Molding) components, the solution combines robotics, CNC machining, and advanced vision inspection—all engineered and built in-house by the SORSYS team.

Process Overview:

• A 6-axis robot initiates the process by picking MIM parts from a vibratory inline track feeder and loading them into a CNC machine.

• CNC machining reams a critical hole to remove excess MIM material.

• The robot then unloads the part and sends it through a blow-off station to eliminate coolant residue.

• A high-accuracy vision inspection system evaluates hole placement relative to two curved profile features, with a tight ±3-micron tolerance.

• A precision fixture ensures each part is presented perpendicular to the vision system for repeatable accuracy.

• A second camera inspects a 0.5 mm oil hole using a custom cylindrical backlight, detecting even the smallest blockages.

• Based on the inspection, parts are automatically sorted into good or reject bins.

• The fully automated cycle completes in just 30 seconds.

Key Features:

• Fully automated robotic handling and inspection

• Precision CNC integration for MIM component machining

• ±3 micron tolerance vision inspection

• Custom vision system with dual-camera setup and backlighting

• High-speed part sorting with 30-second cycle time

• Built entirely in-house by the SORSYS engineering team

This project is a testament to SORSYS’s ability to merge advanced robotics, precision fixturing, CNC machining, and sophisticated vision inspection into a single, efficient automation solution—ideal for high-accuracy manufacturing environments.
