This video shows a FANUC M710iC/70 robot handling cases picked from tray patterns and loaded to an outgoing conveyor. FANUC 3DV vision equipment identifies box locations and the robot calculates the desired pick grouping to maximize cases handled but also avoid interferences. The robot vacuum EOAT can accommodate cases in a range of sizes and orientations.
This video shows a FANUC M710iC/50 robot handling cases to form layers at downstream conveyor operations. Cases manipulated at less than 1.5 seconds per case, shifted and rotated as the line transfers with robot line tracking. Upstream 2D iRvision equipment identifies the infeed case condition and the robot calculates the desired layer form position. The robot servo EOAT can accommodate a range of case sizes.
