IDI Automation Fanuc Robotic Pick and Place Product Loader for Medical Device Diagnostic Swab Sticks. IDI Automated System: Automated loading system to receive swabs and load them into the pockets of a Multivac machine. The IDI automation receives groups of swabs that are manually placed in the vibratory trays of the IDI feed system. These swabs are then separated and conveyed under machine vision guided robots where cameras locate the parts on the conveyor. The location information is communicated to the robots. The robots pick the parts from the conveyor and place them on an intermediate conveyor. Another robot picks an array of swabs from this conveyor and loads them into the pockets of the Multivac machine. The system includes: (6) Fanuc Scara Robots to pick swabs from the feed conveyor and load them onto the intermediate conveyor(6) Anubis Covers to cover the quill on each of the scara robots(1) Fanuc M-10iA Robot to pick an array of swabs from the intermediate conveyor and load them into formed pockets on the Multivac machine(6) Robot End of Arm Tools designed as needed to handle swabs(1) M-10 End of Arm Tool designed to handle an array of swabsMachine Vision System for robot guidance in picking the swabs from the swabfeed conveyor(7) Machine Vision Camera w/ lensDedicated LightingComponent mounting framework system Base painted/powder coated steel base on which to mount the majorcomponentsSwab Feed and Separation System operator places groups of 1000 swabs on this system conveyor. The system feeds swabs from bulk hoppers to the feeding belt. The system creates separation between the parts and conveys them past the scara robots. The robots pick from this conveyor system. Intermediate Conveyor the robots place swabs on this conveyor and the M-10robot picks an array from this conveyorAllen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC to serve as the system controller Touchscreen Operator Interface on which to display system run time information. Touchscreen Operator Interface this screen is to be mounted in a smaller enclosure. System Safety Guarding safety devices, safety interlocks and relays, and EStop controls to enclose the IDI-provided robot work area. Extruded aluminum fencing is mounted directly to the system base. Electrical Enclosure to houseIDI provided to system electrical components, and robot.
