Analysis and Implementation of Dual Pick and Place Operation in Smart Manufacturing Domain

Abstract

Present industrial scenario includes thrive towards entering into Industrie 4.0 and it is the next step of automation. The paper here presents the real time implementation of dual pick and place operation by 4- axis Robot for components coming from a moving conveyor in industrial environment. Dual pick and place includes placing for marking and inspection followed by placing in bin as per marking. The hardware platform has been developed based on Beck Hoff programmable logic controllers. Further, the vision system has been developed for errorless pick and place (PNP) operation. The system has been developed from production, quality, maintenance and managerial point of view and to capture data from different location. Relevant sequence and motion information is communicated through Ether CAT and Ethernet port along with sensors and reed switches for fast motion control. Robotic different positions for PNP has been presented in MAT Lab environment and motor peak voltage details has also been provided. This system is suitable for reducing the cycle time, improvement in efficiency, more production and is considerably stable with minimum deviations and has set a standard platform for IIOT and Industrie 4.0.
