Query of my project for UR10

Hello Universal Robot,

Greetings for the day!!

I’m attaching again the details in simpler form this might help to understand things more.

as shown in picture we need to have a 4 holes there but problem is while manufacturing cups in injection moulding we don’t get that holes. To create that holes we have different pneumatic arrangement. So how we are doing right now, one person will manually place a cup on the fixture and press the paddle by foot and with this pneumatic system works and gives 4 holes from pneumatic pins inject to the cup. He will going to check all that 4 holes are good and quality of it and approved the cup as accepted, if something goes off then it’s rejected one.

Also that 4 holes are at specific place, at the inside of cup we have a groove design and same design we have on fixture so when we are placingthe cup on the fixture it suppose to match the grooves so by that we get the desired 4 holes at specific position.

Now this entire process of doing holes that we want to do automatically and we going to use UR10 for that.

1 we have to pick the cups from the table. Right now it’s not have been decided whether we should keep these cups to the tray on table from where an arm can easily pick or choosing cups from bucket it also okay. We will going to discuss, what’s achievable.

2 once arm pick the cup it supposing to pick at certain points so both the grooves of cup and fixture that meets and we get the desired position for holes.

3 After placing part on the fixture system should gives a signal to the pneumatic for work, I guess we can use digital output signal to connect solenoid control terminal.

4 once pneumatic system operates , it gives a 4 holes to the cups and now we need to arrange something here which sense that all 4 holes are good and gives accepted quality assurance. If it’s accepted then we place it to accepted bucket by UR10 or else we reject it and place it different bucket by UR10.

I think it’s very basic automation , key part is to identify what’s the most easiest and effective way to communicate UR10 arm , fixture position of cup, pneumatic system and programming of UR10.

Thanks and Regards

Your image is missing. :slight_smile:

But it sounds like a fairly straight-forward setup. You should have a tray where the cups can only be placed in one way. Then the robot can use the Pallet template/function to automatically pick it up at all the different locations.
The robot can control the pneumatic valve simply with a 24V digital output. This signal is the same as comes from the pedal (presuming the valve is 24V).
Then the robot can use another Pallet function to place the cup back in the tray. :slight_smile:

This seems like a project for a system integrator, some design work is needed, schematics, a risk assessment when working with pnematics that run automatically and a few other things.
There are definitely some in the Melbourne area that could assist. Reach out to UR locally and they should be able to just tell you who they reccomend. A dsitributor only sells the robots, but will also likely know who is good at what. You’re looking for a machine tending integrator.
