How can robotic automation improve efficiency in manufacturing processes?

Our robotic automation solutions dramatically boost efficiency in manufacturing by enhancing speed, precision, and consistency. We focus on minimizing manual errors, accelerating production rates, and ensuring safety by handling repetitive and hazardous tasks.

What are the different types of robotic automation systems available for manufacturing applications?

We offer a range of robotic automation systems for manufacturing, including SCARA and Delta robots. SCARA robots are ideal for precision tasks requiring speed and compact design, while Delta robots excel in fast, repetitive actions like picking and placing.

What types of defects or issues can vision inspection systems detect in manufacturing?

Our vision inspection systems are adept at detecting dimensional inaccuracies, surface defects like scratches or dents, misalignments, and incorrect or missing components. They are also capable of verifying label accuracy, barcode readability, and color consistency.

What types of manufacturing tasks can be performed using a rotary indexing machine?Rotary indexing machines at Big Sky Engineering are highly versatile, designed to perform a range of precise manufacturing tasks. They are ideal for assembly, drilling, precision machining, and quality inspection. These machines excel in high-volume production environments, offering accuracy and repeatability.

This system consists of a centrally located Fanuc M-10iA/12S 6-axes w/3-ph R-30iB Mate Haptic robot that continuously picks an array of bait sticks from transfer conveyors from pull extruders A and B. The bait sticks feed to the end of the existing conveyor line where they are cross-shuttled to the conveyors that feed and accumulate sticks on either side of the centrally located robot. As the sticks accumulate to around 10 or more they’re engaged by the robot EOAT. The EOAT consists of a high-flow vacuum plenum pick head where the vacuum is generated using the intake of a high-flow blower. The array of sticks on the EOAT are transferred and placed into the cartons.

The cartons are staged on the infeed conveyor in (2) rows which allows separation of product from extruders A and B. The case must be staged with the major flaps standing with the poly bag cuffed and taunt. Upon completion of the carton, the box is transferred to independent skate conveyors for manual labeling and palletizing.

This system allows sides A or B of the extruders to function independently or in tandem.
