Robotic Dental Bur Fixture Loading with FANUC SR-3iA SCARA Robot

The FANUC SR-3iA SCARA robot uses iRvision and a one-axis gripper to accurately pick and orient the burs for placement into a specific fixture at high speeds. After the dental burs have been loaded into the fixture, the SR-3iA robot places it onto an outgoing conveyor. It then picks a new fixture model from a nested drawer and places it onto the worktable to begin loading burs that fit the fixture. The intelligent vision system and nested fixture drawers allow for on the fly loading of mixed parts to various fixture models.

End-of-Line Case Packing & Palletizing System

Remtec was approached by a company in need of a case packing and palletizing system to reduce costs and increase productivity. This company produces products such as paper plates & bowls that get shipped nationwide. Discovering Remtec was one of the nations top system integrators, the company met with Remtec to discuss the requirements, ideas, and vision for their end-of-line system. This resulted in the system shown here.

Integrated Robotic Case Packing and Palletizing System

Case Packing and Palletizing of food, beverage, and consumer goods.

Benefits: Remtec’s Robotic Case Packaging / Palletizing System is a complete End-of-Line Solution, capable of packing individual items or entire product layers at rates up to 25 cases per minute.

Simulation of Robot Performing 100% Part Inspection (Animation)

This is an example of a typical robot simulation, which was completed as part of the design phase for Remtec’s Automatic Inspection System. This system features a Fanuc Robotics LRMate 200iC robot, equipped with iRVision guidance. The system uses vision to locate and pick small assemblies from totes. Once picked by the robot, the assemblies are loaded into a custom gauging station which uses a very precise Linear Variable Differential Transducer (LVDT) to determine if the assembly is within specified tolerances. Good parts are repackaged for downstream production, and bad parts are rejected.
