Robotic sorting system serves saws,
machines
An intelligent robotic sorting system for sawn metal blanks an also be used for the automatic transportation of materials from a sawing machine to other machining cells.
Remmert, the German storage and logistics expert, has presented its latest innovation to the industry specialists in the shape of Robot 06, an intelligent sorting system As well as enabling rapid sorting of sawn blanks, the new sorting robot can also be used for the fully automated transportation of materials from the sawing machine to other machining cells

Sawing centres integrate production, warehousing
A new sawing cell and powerful sheet metal processing cells shown at EMO 2005 included a compact processing centre that enables the optimum integration of warehouse and production facilities.
Integrate warehousing and production
Are you integrated yet - Stephan Remmert discusses the linking of warehouse and processing technology and says that we have fundamentally redefined the way we perceive warehousing and production.
The new Robot 06 is truly multi-talented: The sorting robot can grip round, flat and multi-sided materials with a maximum weight of up to 165 kg regardless of position and with an extremely high degree of repeat accuracy.
"This flexible robot system is perfect not only for the rapid sorting of large and extremely heavy products, but also of small, delicate objects," said Matthias Remmert, managing director.
The integrated PRO SORT software determines which part is placed where without any form of human intervention.

Integrated warehouse and sawing optimise output
Production managers need to be able to guarantee efficient production processes, reduced unit costs and short delivery times, usually while at the same time increasing volumes.
Robots designed to sort laser-cut parts
An intelligent 6-axis robot transfers the sheet steel from the laser profiler to its rotary table, sorts the finished parts into predefined load carriers and disposes of scrap.
Optimising sheet metal handling
Small, automated sheet metal storage systems are straightforward and as a single or double tower solution, they ensure optimum use of the space available.
In addition, thanks to Remmert's PRO FMS flexible production system, the sorting robot can be easily integrated into any existing automation concept.
In addition to ensuring that the sawing machine is loaded with material for machining in a time-efficient manner, the FMS software is also responsible for optimized control of Robot 06.
Because communication between the sawing and sorting robot software is seamless, there is no need for an additional interface on the production control center: The sorting model is generated entirely automatically.
The key benefits of system integration are lower unit costs and production sequences that require little if any human input.
