Static Analysis of a C-Channel Robot Gripper …

2.2 Magnets and Application
Magnetic grippers obviously only work on magnetic objects and therefore limited in
working with certain metals. For maximum effect, the magnet needs to have complete
contact with the surface of the metal to be gripped.
If the magnet is strong enough, a magnetic gripper can pick up an irregular shaped
object [7] (Table 1).
3 Arrangement of Layout
In cell 1 for robot automation is implementing for two machines and cell 2 for two
machines as shown in Fig. 1. For each cell, the four robots are used which are:
1. Pick and Place robot (KR 30-Payload of 30 kg)—R × 1 and R × 2.
2. Loading and Unloading robots (K 180-Payload of 180 kg)—R1 and R2.
3.1 Process
The blanking material has an input which is placed on the auto trolley bin through
crane. The auto trolley bin is operated by servo motor and move near to robot. The
R × 1 robot picks the blanking or covers plate from the bin and places it on the
table near to R1 as shown in Fig. 1. The R1 robot picks cover forming by using
electromagnetic end gripper arm X1 and goes inside the press. The electromagnetic
end effectors X1 holding the part in gripper at a similar time, X2 picks the materials
from tool inside the press for reducing the cycle time. The robot arm slightly come
back from press and material held in the X1 drops the part inside the press. The robot
R1 arm end effectors X2 holds the material which comes outside from the press and
placed on conveyor. Then press starts and forming take place inside material. The
robot R1 arm end effectors X2 holds the material drops in another table near to the
robot R2 for the next stage. The finished parts are picked from the table and placed
in trolley.
