OUR HISTORY IN ROBOTICS
Robotics is one of the founding components of our company. Our expertise started with the very beginnings of industrial robotics: our first Stäubli robot was installed in 1990.
For the past quarter of a century, our expertise has been growing with the technical evolutions made by robot manufacturers we sometimes assist during special developments
.
ROBOTICS
Integration of 6-axis, SCARA, and delta robots
Stäubli/Fanuc/ABB specialist
Handling
Assembly
Screwing
Removal of beads (glue, grease, etc.)
Laser engraving
High cadence pick & place
Bin picking
Unstacking
Palletization
Packaging
Loading machining tools and pressfit machines
ADVANCED ROBOTICS
Dynamic product pickup and laydown:
linear tracking
circular tracking
trajectory tracking
Camera-guided robots:
2D and 3D product localization
adjustment of products in the robot gripper (precise assembly, laser marking, etc.)
fixed or onboard cameras, multi-cameras
Multi-robot modes:
work several robots in a shared zone
transmission of inter-robot parts
parts flow management
Special developments:
stroke force control with curve plotting
special stacking algorithms for random parts
VISION
Vision processes are used in several types of applications:
control
sorting
character recognition
reading barcodes and DataMatrix codes
robot guiding
Each application requires a scientific approach and a specific technical solution.
To respond to all applications, we mainly use Cognex equipment which offers a wide industrial range that is easily maintained:
Checker vision sensors for simple applications
In-Sight smart cameras for mid-complexity applications
Algorithms and programming based on VisionPro PC for complex applications
Our technicians and engineers have developed user-friendly interfaces and applications.
We provide official training, equipping you with the independence you need to develop and maintain your systems.
CAMERA-GUIDED ROBOTS
Today’s technology means we can implement reliable and flexible new processes by coupling robotics and vision. Technic Automation has developed standard robot guidance applications.
Distribution systems:
multi-reference loading
loading parts with complex-shapes
Precise assembly:
adjustment of parts before assembly, gluing, and screwing
Adjustment of parts incorrectly placed in their packaging (thermoformed trays or packing boards)
Parts repositioned directly in the robot gripper (example: adjustment before laser marking)
PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT
Our determination to offer turnkey systems has led us to regularly provide computer services that allow online management of our equipment in your factory network.
In order to implement this system, we provide—either in-house or in collaboration with our regular partner—specific developments that correspond to your needs:
on-line integration using factory ERP
line monitoring
data exchange and work order processing
SCIENTIFIC DATA PROCESSING
We develop specific applications, such as:
data processing
statistics
curve plotting
development of special algorithms for complex stacking
