AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS FOR FLEXIBLE & EFFICIENT MACHINE LOADING

FX-Series
SMART LOAD

The FX series from rbc robotics includes cells that are modular, modern, very compact, and highly efficiency.

The FX SMART LOAD series is primarily designed for direct loading of machines or systems. The components are fed in and discharged again after processing or placed in a bin. Component detection is also possible with this variant. This makes the system highly flexible with set-up times that are close to zero.

The FX-LOAD series includes compact cells for lightweight components and manual component feeding as well as simple conveyor technology for the provision of workpieces. Buffer systems and compact feed systems for bulk goods in larger containers are also available.

2D or 2.5D camera technology are also used here for direct identification of the workpiece position to enable swift removal cycles.

The product range is rounded off by agile robots from ABB or KUKA and picking systems from EPSON.

Highlights

01

Modularised system platform of the FX Series™ with closed module cabins

02

Energy-efficient industrial robot for fast and precise part handling

03

Flexible component feeding through the use of 2D / 3D
Image recognition and possible AI optimised evaluation

04

Smart gripping technology for a wide range of components with minimum set-up times

05

Shopfloor-based, intuitive component programming and operation as well as the use of a high-performance cell control system

06

Flexible connection to the production line or directly to the processing machine and short commissioning time

Flexible component handling

thanks to industrial robots, up to payload class of 20 kg

Cycle time-neutral basket handling

through integrated basket stacking unit with 2 servo axes

Easy loading and unloading

thanks to the optimized design of the material lock in a closed floor pan

Cycle-neutral loading and unloading

of raw part stacks, finished part stacks and buffer stacks

Direct and flexible connection

to the machine tool or production line

Possible integration of further operations

(e.g., cleaning, laser marking)

Space-saving SPC drawer

and NO drawer through side or front integration

Synergy effects in the DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP

Thanks to the close cooperation - also in product development - the robot systems can be easily combined with the machines of the DVS Technology Group.

Vision-Technik by rbc robotics Component recognition

The positioning of components is critical for robot applications. In reality, the parameters are shifting constantly due to the different sizes, geometries, manufacturing tolerances, and surface characteristics. The robot system must be capable of autonomously adapting to these variables. Only then can the system be considered intelligent and reliable.

The technologies that we are presenting here make our FX series modules exactly the intelligent systems that you need for your requirements.
