automatically by means or
variable programmed motions
with high speed and precision

Need to replace human by
robot
• Work environment hazardous for human being
• Repetitive task
• Boring and unpleasant tasks
• Operating for long hours without rest
• Minimizing Variations

Material Handling Robot
• Material Handling makes use of the robot’s
simple capability to transport objects.
• By fitting the robot with an appropriate end of
the arm tool (e.g gripper), the robot can
efficiently and accurately move product from
one location to another.
General Considerations
• If a robot has to transfer a part or to load a machine then the
following points are to be considered.
1. Part Positioning and Orientation
2. Gripper Design
3. Minimum Distances moved
4. Robot work volume
5. Accuracy and repeatability
6. Robot Cofiguration
Machine Loading and
Unloading
• In machine loading and unloading process, a robot will be used to
move the work parts to or from the production machine.
• The Machine loading and unloading application includes the
following three process:
Machine Loading
Machine Unloading
Machine Loading and Unloading
Machine Loading
• In this operation, the robot loads raw work parts in the machine, and some other
systems are used to unload the finished work parts from the machine
• Example:
• In a press working process, a robot is used to load the sheet metal in the press, and
the finished work part are removed from the press with the help of gravity.
Machine Unloading
• In machine unloading, the finished work parts are unloaded from the
machine by a robot, while the loading of raw materials are done without
any robot support.
• Example:
• Plastic modelling and die casting
Machine Loading and Unloading
• In this process, a robot perform both loading and unloading of
work parts in and from the machine.
• Example:
• Machining Operation.
Advantages:
• Machine Loading robots not only increase production speeds, it
also protects worker from injury
• They are extremely accurate and also have the dexterity to
handle the part with care.
