High Speed Adept Quattro Robots Used in Chocolate Manufacturing
www.adept.com High Speed Adept Quattro Robots Used in chocolate manufacturing at a production facility in Japan. This video demonstrates the unmatched speed of the Adept Quattro robot and technical achievements in robot system performance. This is more than simply motor speeds; to manage the robot doing this much in so little time takes a high performance motion controller, software, and electronics. To the user this means increased product throughput, but not at the cost of control over the motions. Adept’s SmartController CX and V+ programming language allow the management of the specific motions: speeds, accelerations and accel profiles, end-of-motion tolerances and behavior, etc. When manufacturers look at automation in a cost-per-pick analysis, being able to pick products faster and more reliably means an improvement to the bottom line. The unique patented design of the Adept Quattro robot enables this level of performance with its four-arm parallel kinematic (known as PAR-4). This is differentiated from the three-arm delta style robots commonly seen in the industry. The four motors share the load and contribute to the motion, thus reducing the load on the individual joints and allowing greater speeds, higher payloads, and improved performance throughout the entire robots work envelope. www.adept.com

M-2000iA Car Body Transfer Robot & M-20iA Sealer Robot – FANUC Robotics Industrial Automation
Flexible car body transfer and sealer system – fanucrobotics.com A pedestal mounted FANUC M-2000iA/900L lifts a car body from an incoming floor conveyor, and moves it to a fixture where four FANUC M-20iA robots will apply sealer. After the car body has been placed onto the fixture, the FANUC M-20iA robots apply sealer to the under body and wheel wells of the vehicle. After sealer has been applied, a second floor mounted FANUC M-2000iA lifts the car body from the sealer fixture, rotates it 180 degrees, and places it onto a second fixture. The car is then inspected manually, before being lifted by a third FANUC M-2000iA and placed onto an outgoing floor conveyor. This array of FANUC M-2000iA resulted in 60% floor space savings over conventional vertical lifters and overhead conveyors along with the reliability of a robot. The flexibility and reliability of the FANUC robots allows for a low maintenance, flexible automation system.
Robots (Sonic Art and Sound Design)
This video was made as part of the Sound Design module at University. The piece contains footage of a variety of industrial manufacturing robots, performing various tasks and duties in a factory. The original sound from the video has been completely wiped and has been replaced by my own personal sound design. The majority of the sounds for the piece were sourced from the BBC sound effects library and were then subsequently manipulated to fit the motions of the robots. Thomas Neild
