Background

The client company is a well-known artificial joint manufacturer in China. After years of accumulation and accumulation, it launched high-end artificial joint products in 2014 to better serve Chinese doctors and patients. Since its establishment, the company has been adhering to the policy of "scientific management, perfecting the quality management system", attaching importance to quality control and production efficiency, and its automation process has always been at the forefront of the industry.

Client needs 

Despite years of automation experience, the company's automated production line is also changing as the demand for customized orders soars-from large-scale automated laying to single-position automation to replace the large number of manual stations that still exist on the production line.

At present, the load transfer of medical consumables between the back processes of the production line still depends on manual work. The customer hopes to realize the automatic connection of this process, but due to the high added value and relatively precise surface of medical consumables, there is no suitable end fixture to match it.

The customer expects to automate the transformation of the production line by deploying applicable end fixtures to achieve automated production goals of increased efficiency and reduced manpower.

Solutions

The customer finally chose SRT's flexible gripper to replace the manual load. This kind of work seems simple, but in order to improve production efficiency at the same time to ensure stable product quality, flexible clamping claw is undoubtedly the best solution.

In this scheme, the flexible gripper of SRT has obvious advantages: the grasping action is gentle and the scope of grasping is wide. It is especially suitable for grasping products that are easy to damage or whose shape is uncertain.

Results

Results After the flexible gripper of SRT was configured, the sorting problem of medical consumables was solved successfully, the production efficiency was improved and the stability of product quality was guaranteed.
