Joining Yaskawa’s proven HC-series line of collaborative robots, the HC30PL meets established safety standards to enable safe operation with, or in close proximity to human workers.
Fold it, seal it, tape it, box it, pick it, place it — automate it. These are the separate processes that Finland-based Orfer Oy needed to automate to speed up its packaging operations. However, automating these processes without expanding factory floor space proved to be a challenging feat.
YuMi, another step in ABB’s Next Level strategy, heralds a new era of robotic coworkers that are able to work collaboratively on the same tasks with humans while still ensuring the safety of those around it.
The VC 30 uses a vacuum arm to pick auto-bottom type display and shelf cartons from the 1-meter carton magazine, erect the carton, and convey it to the optional TaskMate Robotic Loading System.
