What is a Automatic transport device?
The automatic transfer device is a device for automatically performing transfer between processes. By installing it between assembly machines and processing machines, switching between processes is performed automatically. There are various types of equipment, such as those that set the position with a sensor and move it to this point, and those that perform image recognition to automatically determine the destination and transport. There is an industrial robot called a transfer robot in the automatic transfer device. There are various types depending on the mechanism. A slider suitable for simple applications, a SCARA robot effective for EMS applications, and an autonomous robot that can move around freely in the factory.
Application of Automatic transport device
Among the automatic transfer devices, the transfer robot corresponds to an industrial robot. The slider has the feature that it can only move in two directions (one axis) back and forth. SCARA robots are articulated robots that specialize in horizontal movement. It has the role of grabbing the work transported from the conveyor and moving it to the horizontal conveyor or putting it in a container. Autonomous robots specialize in moving workpieces to remote locations within the factory. Such a robot is called an AGV and looks like an automated guided vehicle.
