16 MACHINERY UPDATE march/april 2018 www.machineryupdate.co.uk New Machinery Modular robot cell can help to ease the path to full automation New from RARUK Automation is a compact, mobile and modular robot cell that can be easily moved between production and processing machines to increase productivity. It is designed to accept a robot arm – such as a Universal Robot; also from RARUK Automation – and can be systematically expanded to give manufacturers a growth path to full automation. FOUNDATION PRODUCT ProFeeder Light is the foundation product which comprises a basic, standalone unit with one manually removable parts tray with a capacity of up to 780 units, depending on their size. Ideal for use with most CNC machines, ProFeeder Light can handle a wide variety of parts up to 10kg and is used as extra ‘manpower’ for small batch production or the first step towards greater automation. It can also be expanded The system automatically sends a text alert to the operator if there is a stop at any time to incorporate additional functions such as turning, deburring or cleaning. The next in the threemodel range is ProFeeder which comes complete with two movers and two parts trays. The mover is a modular cart which, when placed in the robot cell, automatically centres the parts tray. When YPS MU M-A 2018.qxp_MU 20/02/2018 11:26 Page 1 the parts have been processed, the first mover and tray are replaced by the second mover with unprocessed parts. Interchangeable perforated plates in the parts trays ensure that the CNC machine can be fed with all part types and these can be replaced with thin plate feeding for operations such as edge bending or even a custom feeding solution. The third option is ProFeeder Multi that introduces a lift module that automatically presents trays to the machine for parts to be processed; its capacity is eight trays. This solution makes it possible to run a fully automated four-shift operation or even lights out production. Manual input is limited to machine supervision, pre-filling the parts trays and replacing the mover at the end of the fourth shift. All ProFeeder systems can be quickly moved to a new station with a pallet truck. Set-up is easy and quick as it only requires connection to electricity and compressed air. The system’s compact design allows it to be used with most types of processing or production machines and, as the robot arm can be fixed on three sides of the cell, application flexibility is ensured, says RARUK.
