Clear Automation Deploys A SCARA Robot To Pick From Two FlexFeeders
Clear Automation is an award-winning certified integrator for Adept Technology, Inc. We are also one of their Preferred Packaging Partners. We designed and built this custom workcell to pick and place a medical diagnostic product. Test strips are delivered in bulk and are loaded manually into two FlexFeeders. A camera above each feeder locates the strips on the belts and identifies those test strips that are right-side-up. The robot picks those strips and places them into an indexing conveyor between the two feeders. The conveyor transfers the strips to the downstream processes. As the robot picks strips from one feeder, the other feeder presents new strips to the camera. Strips that are not picked are recirculated and are presented to the camera again. As the feeders are depleted, they are refilled automatically from a bulk hopper. We delivered three of these systems. Each runs 55 parts per minute, 24 hours per day.

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.
