YuMi collaborative dual-arm robot adapted for packaging

Thursday, 19 May, 2016 | Supplied by: HMPS


HMPS, together with robotic partner ABB, has adapted the YuMi collaborative robot to suit specific packaging applications.

The robot is compact, with dimensions similar to that of a human. Its dual arm feature seven axes of movement, each allowing good dexterity and precision.

With its dual arms, flexible hands, universal parts feeding system, camera-based part location, lead-through programming and precise motion control, it is able to surpass the precision and speed of human-only working, resulting in high-quality products and less waste.

The robot comes with integrated, flexible hands which can be deployed in a variety of configurations, including servo grippers, dual suction cups and vision. The hands allow for complete customisation to meet the demands of many packaging tasks. This enables the robot to work with humans in a packaging environment that requires flexibility along with some repetition and precision. Some of the potential packaging applications include kitting of multiple components into packages, component assembly and packing of fragile materials.

The robot can operate in close collaboration with humans due to its inherently safe design. It has a lightweight yet rigid magnesium skeleton covered with a floating plastic casing, which is wrapped in soft padding to absorb impacts.
