A general-purpose machine that is computer-controlled is referred to as a robot or robotic device. The fact that robots can be programmed and have multiple functions sets these devices apart from fixed automation.
Robotic systems are frequently used for repetitive, exact, or potentially dangerous tasks in the automotive, electronic, general fabrication, and other sectors. Robots are used for a variety of jobs, from large ones like handling castings and welding automobile frames to smaller ones like putting printed circuit boards together and moving machined components.
The Global Robotic greenhouse automation system market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Bartel proposed the development of an apparatus that would mechanically stuff bags with greenhouse peppers. The process of bagging peppers is primarily done by hand because they come in a variety of forms and can be vulnerable to harm if not grasped along their specific contours. But if this process could be effectively automated, greenhouse businesses could gain productivity, reduce costs, and save time.
Bartel collaborated with Omron Automation Americas automation to develop solutions for seamlessly integrating products, freeing up more time to focus on designing and producing a modular machine that could scale up significantly in reaction to shifting application requirements.
Scaling up the entire machine simply required the addition of more modules due to the high degree of coordination between one Viper 6 axis articulated robot, servos, and two bagging systems, one on each side, which together constitute one module.
The servos are exceptional in a number of ways, such as size, controllability, usability, and simplicity of programming when used with robotics.
Combining Sysmac Studio and the Omron NX102 machine automation device allows for the completion of the system. The new machine functions well on all platforms as a result of the engineers’ ability to link the NA5 Series human-machine interface (HMI) to the robot, the sensors, and the servo drives in Sysmac Studio.
