UR10 and OnRobot 3FG15 Gripper for Machine Tending

This application case demonstrates a CNC lathe machine-tending demonstration process utilizing the Universal Robots UR10 and the OnRobot 3FG15 gripper.

By leveraging a 3-finger gripper with a wide stroke, the system can be optimized for CNC lathe machining across a variety of product sizes, ensuring stable and centered handling of cylindrical workpieces.

Components

Robot	Robot: Universal Robots UR10 Type: 6-axis collaborative robot Payload: 10kg / Reach: 1,300mm Repeatability: ±0.1mm / Weight: 28.9kg (IP54 rated) End-Effector: OnRobot 3FG15 Type: Three-finger electric gripper Key Feature: Large 150mm stroke and self-centering capability for round objects.

Workflow

STEP 1.	Pickup & Loading: The robot picks the raw material and loads it into the CNC chuck.
STEP 2.	Machining: The CNC lathe performs the programmed machining process.
STEP 3.	Discharge: The robot unloads the finished part from the machine and places it in the output area.

Key Features

Compact Installation and High Cost-Efficiency

Minimal Layout Impact: Collaborative robots can be integrated into existing lines without major changes to the factory floor or the need for extensive safety fencing.
Reduced Initial Investment: The compact footprint and simplified setup minimize the infrastructure costs associated with traditional automation.

Flexible Production Capability

Wide-Stroke 3-Finger Gripper: By utilizing the OnRobot 3FG15, the system can handle a broad range of product sizes and shapes without mechanical adjustments.
Self-Centering Precision: Ideal for CNC lathe work, ensuring consistent alignment for cylindrical workpieces of varying diameters.

Implementation Results

ROI Period	1.5 years
Key Metrics	Maximized productivity through minimized idle time and continuous automated cycles. Seamless transition between different product models without manual reconfiguration.
Client Feedback	Thanks to the large stroke and external force sensing capabilities of the OnRobot gripper, we were able to maintain continuous production even when changing product models, all without any additional setup work.
