INTRODUCING ROBOTCUBE

SMALL JOBS … BIG RESULTS

RobotCube is an entry level, compact robot cell designed to be easily configured to perform a wide variety of tasks.

If you have previously considered using robots in your process but thought they were too expensive RobotCube may be the answer. The simple, lean design uses a mix of standard and customisable elements making it extremely cost effective.

RobotCube’s space efficient layout allows it to be installed in tight spaces which means that even small jobs can benefit from the speed and precision of a robot.

The open frame and pre-drilled base plate provides a flexible platform for configuration and also makes it easy to reconfigure if your needs change.

UK MANUFACTURING NEEDS MORE ROBOTS.

The statistics are clear, other industrialised nations use more robots to remain competitive in a global market.
RobotCube is designed to help by lowering the entry cost and risk for a small robot cell.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

COST EFFECTIVE.

The simple design is based on a combination of standard and customised elements to make it very cost effective. Choose only the basic elements you need, and upgrade later if required.

COMPACT.

All services are mounted beneath the robot working area and the integral, secure guarding fits close to the robot working envelope giving a minimum footprint for the cell from 1000mm to 850mm and allowing installation in small spaces.

CONFIGURABLE. RE-CONFIGURABLE.

A full array of mounting holes in the base plate provides a flexible platform for customised elements. This modular design and open access to all sides of the cell gives multiple configuration options.

PRECISION & SPEED.

The fast, repeatable, programmable motion of a robot accurate to 0.01mm reduces process time and delivers quality improvements.

RELIABILITY.

Industrial robots are renowned for their reliability. The standardised core elements of RobotCube build on this to ensure your process benefits.

EASY INSTALLATION.

Wheel in, plug in and switch on. As easy at that! RobotCube is installed with minimum disruption to your production and is easily moved to a new or temporary location.

customisation

3 STEPS TO CUSTOMISATION.

REVIEW.

We start by reviewing your application – the process, space constraints, interfaces with other equipment, needs of the operator – to determine the best arrangement of CORE and CUSTOMISED elements.

DESIGN.

We design the customised elements you need.

– robot gripper
– manual load/unload
– conveyor
– parts feeding
– buffering
– guard extensions

INTEGRATE.

We bring it all together. Assemble the cell, develop the control software based on standard modules, and fully test.

RobotCube is then ready to go with minimal set up on site.

AND BECAUSE ROBOTCUBE IS DESIGNED TO BE FLEXIBLE IT IS EASY TO ADAPT IF YOUR PROCESS OR REQUIREMENTS CHANGE IN THE FUTURE.

CASE STUDY.

COOPERVISION. CONTACT LENS MANUFACTURING.

A RobotCube workcell is used at global contact lens manufacturer CooperVision’s R&D facility in Southampton. It reduced the cycle time for contact lens transfer between moulding and curing processes by 30%.

The RobotCube is used to remove a manual step from the process improving the speed and accuracy of the operation and freeing up valuable operator time. The robot’s built in controller is used to manage the whole cell making it cost effective as well as being simple to set up and use.

The RobotCube uses an ABB IRB120 selected for its small size and speed to accurately transfer 8 parts in 10 seconds.

“Operating the robot from the ceiling of the cell was a novel idea to us. It’s a creative approach that saves space, which is important to us, so the whole cell now takes up no more footprint than the robot baseplate”, says Robin Frith, R&D Project Engineering Manager at CooperVision.
