Specifikationer
How Does it Work?:
The 4PL Cobot operates as a fully automated Print & Apply system, combining a collaborative robot arm with advanced scanning and labeling technology. The setup process is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly. Operators can program new labeling routines directly on-site without specialized knowledge—simply guiding the cobot arm to desired positions and saving the sequence. This setup takes only a few hours and can be quickly adapted to different labeling tasks as production needs evolve.
During operation, the system starts by printing the required label, which is then picked up by the cobot. The integrated scanner identifies the exact location on the product, ensuring accurate application even in variable positions. The cobot applies the label with precision, achieving a repeat accuracy of ±0.1 mm. Thanks to its TÜV-certified safety features, the 4PL Cobot works alongside human operators without the need for protective enclosures, making it a safe and efficient addition to any production environment.
With minimal maintenance and a modular design, the 4PL Cobot provides a reliable, long-term solution for automated labeling, optimizing workflow while reducing operational costs.
UR Polyscope Version Required:
The system requires Polyscope version 5.10 or higher for seamless integration with Universal Robots' cobot arms. This version provides the necessary compatibility for programming and controlling the robot.
URCap Release Version:
The required URCap version is v1.2. This URCap (Universal Robots Capabilities) plugin is essential for connecting the 4PL Cobot system to the robot arm, enabling efficient control, programming, and communication between the robot and external systems.
Other:
Any software or interface which can create labelfiles and send them as *.zpl.
