Robot Safety Fencing for Surgical Mask Production Systems

Industry > Textile·PaperApplication > Loading·UnloadingApplication > Etc.Sector > Manufacturing

This solution features the implementation of safety fencing within a robot cell to meet the surging demand for surgical masks while establishing a secure working environment that complies with international safety standards. To fulfill high-volume production contracts under tight deadlines, the safety enclosure was designed for rapid installation. Its user-friendly layout ensures that the entire robotic cell can be efficiently managed by a single operator.

Components

Robot	Robot: FANUC SCARA SR-6iA Type: 4-axis selective compliance assembly robot arm Reach: 650mm Payload: 6kg Safety Structure: Vention Modular Aluminum Safety Fencing (Clear Polycarbonate Panels)

Workflow

STEP 1.	Infeed: Raw mask fabric is fed into the system.
STEP 2.	Cutting: The fabric is precisely cut to the required mask dimensions.
STEP 3.	Transfer: Cut pieces are moved to the next stage via a conveyor belt.
STEP 4.	Sewing: The FANUC SCARA robot performs high-speed sewing/assembly.
STEP 5.	Outfeed: Finished masks are discharged onto the exit conveyor.
