This application automates Plastic Box Depalletizing & Open using a UR10. In Plastic Box Depalletizing & Open operations, repetitive pick-and-place work can increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The robot takes over these repetitive tasks to help prevent such issues.

Project Background and Objectives

Perform repetitive tasks in place of operators
Prevent musculoskeletal disorders
Improve productivity and output quality

Installation Footprint

3 m × 3 m

Components

Robot	Universal Robots UR10 6-axis articulated collaborative robot Payload: 10 kg Reach: 1,300 mm Weight: 28.9 kg Repeatability: ±0.01 mm IP54
Peripherals	Robot mounting stand YWH-1500i Laser Welding Machine Pneumatic tooling

Workflow

STEP 1.	Plastic box loading
STEP 2.	Capture vision image
STEP 3.	Send box position data to the robot
STEP 4.	Move robot arm and grip the box
STEP 5.	Depalletize with a case-opening machine, open the box, and transfer the box to the conveyor belt
