Pneumatic Pick and Place (Insert) system

Search Globalspec for pneumatics component suppliers, then go to their websites and look for application data. You could also try contacting their sales engineers - explain your requirements, and they'll advise. Make sure you try several, and go with what you consider to be the best and most cost-effective solution.

thank you, i will try.

Dear Mr.Srinivasan,

The actions required as discernible from your statement:

1.Orient a picking gripper to the orientation of the tubes, assuming they are stacked in a tray in an orderly fashion. If the tubes are arriving on a conveyor, randomly oriented, a rudimentary Vision system will have to guide the Gripper orientation or incorporate a set of orienting levers which will gently regiment the orientation of the tubes.

2.The gripped tube will have to be manipulated while being carried to the spindle to get the right orientation for insertion on the spindle.

3. If rate of insertion is important for productivity,the whole device has to be designed in a holistic manner (taking ambient conditions and obstacles into account) for determining best trajectory (or optimal path) for the tube from its point of availability to the final resting point on the spindle in a synchronised operation.

I guess that you would also need to unload the spindles ahead of the tube insertion operation and make sure that no trailing threads are going to foul with any proposed device.

Hope this helps for now.Please visit www.artecrobotics.com for a view of the range of robots and robotic systems that have been designed over the past 20 years by me. Please feel free to contact at any time.
