Copper Plating Plate Transfer Solution using KAWASAKI RS020N

This solution utilizes the KAWASAKI RS020N robot to safely transfer copper-plated plates, which are highly susceptible to surface damage.

By automating the transfer of finished copper foil products to the post-processing stage, this system ensures product integrity and operational consistency. It includes a specialized thickness detection step to identify contaminants or overlapping sheets, preventing downstream equipment damage and quality issues.

Components

Robot	Robot: KAWASAKI RS020N Type: 6-axis high-speed articulated robot. Payload: 20kg. Reach: 1,725mm. Repeatability: ±0.04mm. Weight: 230kg.

Workflow

STEP 1.	Loading of the copper foil stacking jig.
STEP 2.	High-precision picking of the copper foil product.
STEP 3.	Thickness & Contaminant Detection: Verification of foil thickness to ensure no foreign objects or multiple sheets are picked.
STEP 4.	Unloading the product onto the clamping device for post-processing.

Key Features

Safe and High-Speed Operation

Delicate Handling: Engineered to perform delicate tasks at high speeds while prioritizing the prevention of product damage.
Minimized Cycle Times: Optimized motion planning ensures swift transitions between the loading jig and post-processing units.

Quality Assurance via Contaminant Detection

Thickness Sensing: Integrated sensors measure plate thickness in real-time to prevent the entry of foreign objects or overlapping sheets (double-picking) into the production line.
Proactive Defect Prevention: Identifies anomalies before they reach the clamping stage, protecting downstream equipment.

Versatile Product Handling

Adaptive Gripper System: Utilizes a specialized vacuum suction gripper designed to handle various plate sizes and shapes with consistent stability.
Flexible Scaling: Easily programmable to accommodate different product lineups without mechanical overhauls.
