Bucket transport using the pick and place method

Efficient Bucket Transport with igus Spatial Gantry Robot and Vacuum Gripper

Transporting stacked buckets requires precision and reliability to ensure smooth handling. In this customer test conducted in the Custom Testing Area, the process was automated using the igus spatial gantry robot paired with a vacuum gripper from Eberle Greiftechnik. The robot individually lifts each bucket using the gripper and transports it to the unloading point, repeating the process until all buckets are restacked at the new location. This flexible pick-and-place method demonstrates the system's efficiency and accuracy.

What is the Application?

The system automates the transport of stacked buckets, handling them individually and placing them securely at the target location, ideal for logistics and manufacturing tasks.

What are the Advantages of the Solution?

• High Efficiency: Streamlines repetitive bucket handling for faster workflows.

• Safe Transport: Vacuum gripper ensures secure lifting and placement.

• Flexibility: Easily adapts to similar pick-and-place scenarios in production.

What are the Advantages of the Robot?

The igus spatial gantry robot offers:

• Precise Movement: Ensures accurate bucket handling without misalignment.

• Robust Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with the Eberle vacuum gripper.

• Reliability: Performs consistent handling with minimal downtime.

Optimizing Material Handling with Automation

The combination of the igus spatial gantry robot and Eberle vacuum gripper successfully automates bucket transport, reducing manual effort while improving speed and precision. This solution highlights its versatility and potential for broader application in logistics and manufacturing processes.
