Basics
- A Type of Workcell utilizing Robots (Typically Robotic Arms ) as a part of it's operations
- Typically they take on the roles of Robotic Machine Tending and Robotic Materials Handling
- Allows essentially for Full Automation of many processes (Outside of Routine Maintenance / Shutdown Work , as well as any other jobs the robots cannot handle well)
Requirements
As described by This Page by the Company Robtiq Titled "5 Essential Robotic Cell Components" , the Five key components of a Robotic Cell are:
- The Robot(s)
- Tooling
- Sensors
- Safety Measures
- Software
OSE's Choices for These
- Unofficial as of now by the way obviously, just sketching out ideas
The Robots
- Universal Axis based Cartesian Robots
- Delta X and/or a Universal Axis Based Delta Robot
- Universal Robotic Actuator based Parallel Robots (Rotary Actuator (not universal axis/ballscrew) based Delta Robots / Five Bar Parallel Robots
=Robot Materials Feeding / Basic Superstructure/Cell
- Universal Robotic Machine Handling Cell (Can be in a fixed/bolted down version, and a mobile "cart" ?)
- Universal Robotic Materials Handling Cell (Can be in a fixed/bolted down version, and a mobile "cart" ?)
- Similar to these concepts:
Tooling
Sensors
Safety Measures
Software
Internal Links
- Open Source Automated Print Farm (A Similar Concept, although they tend to utilize Conveyor Belts / Gantry Robots / Delta Robots rather than robotic arms)
External Links
- A Direct Industry Page on Off The Shelf Turnkey Robotic Cells
- A Page by the Company Terra Automation on What Robotic Cells Are (And then advertising/mentioning of their products...)
- A Page by the Company Robtiq Titled "5 Essential Robotic Cell Components"
- A Video by the YouTube Channel "RobotWorx" Titled "Benefits of Robotic Workcells" (~1 Minute Watch)
- It gives a great definition, then discusses their products
