Robotic Integration & Industrial Automation Solutions

Automation is key to simplifying your manufacturing, assembly, shipping, and inspection operations. To know exactly where the automation technology will be most useful, a robotic integration expert analyzes your facility and processes to come up with a customized solution. A robotic integration company can advise customers on the most appropriate applications of robotics as well as the most ideal selection of robotics equipment.

Learn more about the benefits and applications of robotic integration and industrial automation technology, as well as the unique solutions we offer here at Optimation.

Robotic System Integration

Robotic system integration involves analyzing current manufacturing, material handling, and other processes to determine which areas would most benefit from automation technology. A robotic integration plan typically recommends collaborative robotics, industrial robotics, or both to streamline the manufacturing facility.

The integration of robotic equipment and software into your operations offers many functions, including:

  • Analyzes the feasibility of your project
  • Makes recommendations on how to save on production costs
  • Determines the proper robot, work cell, and tools for your particular application
  • Keeps robotic and work cell programming updated
  • Incorporates the right combination of robotic systems to optimize your facility’s efficiency

Industrial Robot Types & Applications

There are four main types of robots suitable for industrial applications.

  • Articulated: Articulated robots are what most people think of when they hear about robots on an assembly line. 6-axis articulated robots are most common, but some go up to 7 axes for maximum flexibility. These robots are best suited for jobs on nonparallel planes since they are highly dexterous even around obstructions.
  • SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm): This type of robot is an articulated arm with more limited motions. SCARAs are cost-effective and efficient for planar tasks, such as pick and place, packaging, assembly, and dispensing.
  • Delta: Characterized by an inverted pyramidal shape, delta robots utilize three motor-actuated arms that control the central hand. The delta’s construction is lightweight, enabling rapid processing of light loads.
  • Cartesian: Also called gantry robots, Cartesian robots rely on linear actuators to position the robotic arm at any given point above a workspace. They cannot reach around obstructions, but they are highly efficient for pick and place, assembly, inspection, and dispensing tasks.

Industrial robots can perform the following tasks:

  • Material handling
  • Welding
  • Assembly
  • Palletizing
  • Pick and place
  • Coating
  • Dispensing
  • Painting
  • Packaging
  • Gluing
  • Inspecting
  • Testing
  • Cutting
