One of the objectives of this project has been centred on the design and development of new configurations of handling robots, in collaboration with the Montpellier laboratory for Computer, Robotics and Microelectronics Sciences (Lirmm).

Another of the objectives is directly related to robot control, defining the most appropriate type of control for them.

Technological innovation

The technological innovation consists in the development of a new configuration of handling robot, the QUICKPLACER robot. It is a parallel robot with 4 degrees of freedom (3 movements and turning with respect to the vertical axis), capable of moving a mobile platform at high speed and acceleration (between 15G and 20G) and position it with a high level of rigidity and precision.

The structure of the QUICKPLACER robot has an optimum configuration for working which enables it, with the same load as other robots with similar characteristics on the market, to move the load fasters, increasing productivity by 20%.

The complete workstation includes, apart from the robot, a vision system that detects the position and direction of the products to be handled, a control that defines the robot´s sequence of movements and synchronises the speed with the speed of the conveyor belts and a vacuum system that enables the product to be clamped and deposited in position and direction.

Industrial application

As it is a high speed handling robot, it is marketed in small mass handling sectors such as the food industry (prepared and fresh products), hygiene, pharmaceutical cosmetics, electronics components, telecommunications, automation, audiovisual sectors...
