Robot Cells

Integrating a Robot System into the electrical design of a material handling cell might be underestimated. A robot is not simply a black box in the design.

Understanding the robot arm and controller is key to designing a robust and safe interface between the process and the main cell controller.

End-of-arm tooling I/O might become very intricate when manipulating high-volume production parts inside tight CNC machinery. Choosing between End-Effector hardwired I/O or fieldbus distributed I/O devices will affect the system's flexibility and reliability. Proper cabling, hardware, and communication protocols will affect the dress package sizing, quick-change tooling design, and sensor and actuator selection.

Zeno Black’s experience with Fanuc Robots in logistics and material handling cells is extensive and successful.

Our designs have included bin picking, 3D and 2D vision systems.
