EOAT for robots picks up variety of shapes
Multi-function, robotic end-of-arm tooling, designed specifically for packaging and palletising applications, can pick and place a wide variety of shapes, bags, boxes and bottles.
A robot transports the part to the SAS Lift Degater and sets the part into the 'part conforming nests', located at the top of the degater.
The part is then trimmed by several precisely positioning cutting tools that match to the nests.
Precision and speed are coupled with several simultaneous cutting actions.
The waste trim is dropped directly into a container and the finished molded part is lowered on the lift table to be removed by a packer.
The packer is protected from the lift by a safety light curtain.
SAS produces custom degaters using lift tables, rotary tables and stationary cutting presses depending on the specific application.
Most systems, similar to the lift table described above, are operated pneumatically.
Secondary automation equipment is important to any robotic cell.
As a specialist in robotic end-of-arm tooling, SAS has the automation expertise to take the part from the mold, and continue its movement until its final destination.
SAS is experienced in both automatic insert-molding applications, runner separation and automatic post-mold degating equipment for a wide variety of part shapes and weights.
