Smartphone Transfer using TechFloor Mobile Manipulator (M6X)

Industry > ElectronicsApplication > LogisticsApplication > Material HandlingSector > ManufacturingSector > Logistics

This transfer automation solution utilizes the TechFloor Mobile X, a high-performance Mobile Manipulator, to pick smartphones from shelving units, load them onto its onboard platform, and transport them to the next process stage.

The TechFloor Mobile X can be deployed without extensive infrastructure changes and offers flexible adaptation to layout or workstation modifications. It ensures high productivity through rapid transit and high-precision docking, minimizing common mobile robot issues such as alignment errors.

By applying this solution to environments with frequent inter-process part transfers, continuous operation is achieved regardless of shifts, significantly boosting productivity without additional labor costs.

Workflow

STEP 1.	Request: The robot receives a work command from the central control system.
STEP 2.	Navigation & Recognition: Moves to the picking location and identifies the exact position of the workstation/shelf.
STEP 3.	Loading: The UR5 arm picks the smartphones and loads them onto the onboard pallet
STEP 4.	the robot then heads to the next process.
STEP 5.	Arrival: Identifies the target coordinates and alignment markers at the post-process workstation.
STEP 6.	Unloading: The arm places the transferred smartphones onto the target workbench.
STEP 7.	Reset: The robot moves to a standby or next task location.

Features

Simple Installation with Minimal Time & Cost

Infrastructure-Free Navigation: Capable of autonomous self-localization and pathfinding without physical markers (magnetic tape/QR codes), significantly reducing deployment time and costs.

Legacy Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with existing facility equipment to automate current workflows.

Agile Adaptability: Offers flexible responses to production layout changes or shifts in workstation locations.

Fast and Precise Mobility Performance

High-Speed Transit: Moves at speeds of up to 1,350mm/s.

Path Optimization: Continuously learns and improves the optimal route to target locations to minimize travel time.

High-Precision Docking: Optional precision positioning allows for a stop accuracy of ±10mm / ±0.5°, ensuring the robotic arm can pick delicate items reliably.

Safe Collaboration in Confined Spaces

Multi-Layered Safety: Equipped with front and rear safety sensors, plus an additional lower-front sensor to detect low-profile obstacles that standard LiDAR might miss.

Zero-Turn Radius: Capable of 360-degree rotation on the spot, making it ideal for operating in extremely narrow or complex factory aisles alongside human workers.
