Industrial Robots for Handling, Welding and Palletising

Add the weight of the gripper or tool, the heaviest part and any cable dress, then check the centre of gravity offset against the robot's wrist load chart. A robot that lifts the weight but not at the required offset will lose accuracy and wear faster.

Most palletising is done by 4-axis robots such as the FANUC M-410 or Yaskawa PL series, which keep the gripper level and handle heavy layers efficiently. A 6-axis robot is useful when the product must be tilted or the same robot also does other handling.

When the load including the gripper is above about 30 kg, the cycle time needs full speed every cycle, or the task involves welding, press lines or heavy parts. These robots run inside a guarded cell with fencing, light curtains or scanners.

A risk assessment to ISO 10218 sets the guarding: typically perimeter fencing, interlocked access doors, light curtains or safety scanners at loading points, and emergency stops, all wired into the robot's safety controller.

Both. We engineer complete cells with grippers, welding packages, vision, safety and PLC integration, and take them through build, programming, factory acceptance, installation and training.
