The master’s thesis presents the design, integration, and validation of a fully automatic robotic cell for tape-and-reel packaging from three pick sources: JEDEC trays, a magnet magazine, and a shaker platform. The cell combines an Epson SCARA robot, a Siemens PLC (standard and safety logic), guidance with Epson Compact Vision, and final inspection with Keyence IV3, with door safety supervision, aiming to minimize the operator’s role.
The introduction defines the motivation and objectives. This is followed by a presentation of the individual workstations and their key functions, then a description of the hardware and the rationale for selecting the main components, along with an overview of the software used. The subsequent sections explain the pick algorithms for each source in the robotic cell and describe the development of the magnet polarity detection circuit together with validation of its performance. The conclusion outlines the data logging approach, demonstrates the cell’s functionality, and confirms achievement of the agreed cycle time. The results show that the robotic cell meets the set objectives and provides a practical demonstration of industrial robotic cell design and its validation.
