Frequently asked questions about robots in workpiece handling
Robots are used with increasing frequency in the industrial context in order to maximize efficiency and increase quality, consistency, and production speed. This also applies to workpiece handling. Robots are used for a variety of tasks in workpiece handling. For example, they can fit, extract, palletize, stack, assemble, screw, or package in an automation process. The fields of application are as versatile as the industrial robot itself.
A number of requirements must be fulfilled in order to work with a robot efficiently in workpiece handling. For example, a straightforward connection to external machines and components should be ensured. HORST features all common interfaces and allows the straightforward connection of external machines to horstCONTROL, which is part of the robot system. In order to keep the changeover times to a minimum when producing different parts, programming the robot must be quick and easy. With the horstFX software, which was developed specially for HORST, we placed our main focus on precisely this user-friendliness. HORST can be programmed with ease and in less than 30 min via the touchpad that is part of the system. No programming skills required.
Accuracy also plays a significant part in an automation process. After all, it guarantees consistent quality. With a repeat accuracy of +/- 0.05 mm, HORST is extremely accurate and performs all tasks effortlessly.
With HORST, fruitcore robotics has created a flexible complete robot system that can be used anywhere. In terms of operation, we attached great importance to user-friendliness. For example, HORST can be programmed easily and without programming skills via the horstFX software and horstPANEL, the accompanying operating panel, in less than 30 min per application. The HORST product range offers different ranges and can therefore be used for requirements of any kind.
HORST is made in Germany and is a very high-quality product. And yet, it is considerably less expensive than comparable robot systems due to its innovative kinematics.
The simplicity of programming and the unique cost–benefit ratio make it easy and affordable to get started with automation.
The costs of a complete robot system vary depending on the requirements for the application to be automated. Generally speaking, the overall costs are made up of the robot itself and the peripherals, i.e. add-on parts such as grippers, suction cups, or external tools. Additional expenses include system engineering, project management, commissioning, actual operation, as well as servicing and maintenance.
HORST offers many cost advantages. For one, the innovative kinematics and the associated drive system allow us to use standard drives and therefore do without costly special solutions that are installed in many competitors’ products. HORST can thus offer an unbeatable cost–benefit ratio. In addition, HORST features extremely user-friendly operation. Programming is quick and easy and requires no programming skills. This saves time and therefore money during commissioning and changeover. HORST is low-wear and economical even in ongoing operation.
Industrial robots are the perfect partner for any type of workpiece handling, be it fitting, assembling, screwing, palletizing, stacking, or packaging.
Thanks to their repeat accuracy and continuity, industrial robots can be used very efficiently in automation solutions and guarantee consistently high levels of quality. 6-axis industrial robot HORST is also an expert in workpiece handling.
