Automated Material Supply for Machining Centers Using UR5e

This application is an automated material supply system for machining centers using Universal Robots' UR5e.

The gripper and centering aligner have been effectively designed to handle various workpiece shapes. By enabling 24-hour operation, it realizes an efficient ROI.

Components

Robot	Robot UR5e: 6-axis collaborative robot, payload 5kg, reach 850mm, weight 20.6kg, repeatability: ± 0.03 mm

Workflow

STEP 1.	Robot picks up the workpiece.
STEP 2.	Centering and alignment of the workpiece.
STEP 3.	Removal of the finished part from the machining center and loading of the new workpiece.
STEP 4.	Alignment of the processed workpiece onto the tray.
