Frequently asked questions
How do I choose between an industrial robot and a cobot?
The main criteria are payload, speed and way of working. A classic industrial robot suits heavy loads, short cycles and fenced cells. A cobot is justified when the operator works close to the robot, when batches are small and programming changes often, or when there is no room for guarding. Safety, however, depends on the whole application, including the part and the end effector, and is established through a risk analysis according to ISO 10218 and, for collaborative operation, ISO/TS 15066. Send us the application data and we will help narrow down the choice.
How do I calculate the payload the robot needs?
Add the mass of the part, the mass of the end effector, of the tool changer, if there is one, and of the cables or hoses resting on the arm. The catalogue capacity is valid at a certain distance of the centre of gravity from the flange, so check the model's load diagram at your actual distance. Keep a margin for high accelerations and for parts of variable mass. A heavy gripper can consume a significant share of the payload, which sometimes makes a lighter gripper model or a larger robot more advantageous.
What do I need to know before requesting a quote for grippers or suction cups?
You need to know the mass, dimensions and material of the part, the surface condition, the orientation when gripping, the stroke required and the available energy source: compressed air or electricity. A drawing or photograph of the part and of the workstation helps greatly in choosing the fingers or the shape of the suction cup. If parts in the series differ in size, state all the dimensions. With this data we can propose correctly sized options, instead of choosing by the nominal catalogue force, which does not on its own tell whether the grip is secure.
Can components from different manufacturers be combined in a cell?
Yes, cells commonly bring together robot, gripper, vacuum, sensors and axes from different brands. The conditions are mechanical compatibility, that is a flange to ISO 9409-1 or an adapter plate, and communication compatibility, that is a protocol accepted by the robot controller. With brands that offer integration packages for certain robots, installation is faster, but it is not mandatory. Tell us the robot model and the existing controller, and we check which combinations are possible before the order, to avoid unforeseen adaptations at commissioning.
What wear parts should I keep in reserve for a handling cell?
The most heavily used are suction cups, the piston seals of grippers, gripping fingers, vacuum filters, the flexible cables of the arm and position sensors. The stock depends on the working rate and on the material of the handled parts: abrasive or dirty parts wear faster. For suction cups and fingers, a reserve of a few pieces avoids stopping the line. Send us the list of components and the number of operating hours per shift, and we will propose a suitable repair set, with clear order codes for replenishment.
How long does delivery of robotics and handling equipment take?
We deliver in 24–72 h when the item is available locally or at the supplier. For products made to order, the lead time is usually 1–4 weeks, and depending on the brand and the specifications it may take longer. Complete robots, gripping fingers made to a drawing, custom-configured gantries and feeders with a vision system usually need a longer lead time than catalogue parts. For planned purchases or tenders, send us the list of codes and quantities in good time, so that we can confirm the real lead times before you submit your offer.
