The thesis focuses on automating industrial processes using robotic systems. The primary objective of the research was to develop a robotic solution for the plastic injection molding and packaging of servo motor housing parts. The system integrates three robots: one 6-axis ABB robot and two SCARA robots by Epson. Each robot is responsible for specific tasks, including handling contact pins, removing molded parts from the injection machine, and packaging the final products.
The thesis focuses on optimizing cycle time and programming robotic systems. It provides a detailed description of the industrial cell structure, which includes components such as the injection molding machine, stamping unit, and optical inspection system, as well as the functioning of individual robots within the context of these processes. The robotic programs were developed in two different programming environments: RobotStudio for the ABB robot and Epson RC+ for the Epson robots, utilizing the RAPID and SPEL+ languages, respectively. During the execution of the project, certain limitations were identified, particularly in the process of packaging parts into the final containers, which were addressed by implementing force control of the robot.
