Automated Concepts and Magestic Systems are pleased to offer Dynamic Robotic Parts Sorting. DRPS automates the tedious task of removing cut shapes from the skeleton produced on 2D shape cutting machines.

Many manufacturers using CNC shape cutting machines to produce the blanks for their fabrications and assemblies automate the sheet handling for loading and unloading the cutting machine, however, the removal of the shapes from the skeleton in most cases is done manually. The patent pending DRPS solution provides the piece of the puzzle required for a completely automated shape cutting operation.

	DRPS Benefits “Lights Out” Operation Maintains Job Order Integrity Improves Production Throughput Assures an Organized and Repeatable Process Seamless Process From Sheet, Nesting, Shape Cutting to Part Removal Reduces Operating Costs

DRPS provides several novel technologies for the shape cutting process:

• Robot receives part location from nesting software

• Nesting software defines appropriate orientation and sets suction or magnetic grippers according to the part’s shape.  It turns off cups over holes and engages cups with positive grip.

• Robot may be directed to use part-specific pick path to break tabs.  In thicker materials, nesting software can provide cut locations for tab snipper.

• Vision could record information if robot fails to pick part or in case of other faults

• Nesting software optimizes space on outbound surface (conveyor, pallet, etc.)

• Nesting software accounts for part shape, gripper shape and stack thickness to avoid stack collisions on outbound process

Dynamic Robotic Parts Sorting is a joint venture between Automated Concepts and Magestic Systems.
