2. INTRODUCTION TO MHS
Materials handling is loading, moving and
unloading of materials.
Movement and storage of materials at the lowest
possible cost.
3. OBJECTIVES OF MHS
Lowest Cost Solution.
1. Improve efficiency of a production system.
2. Helps productivity & increases profitability.
3. Maximize space utilization.
4. Reduce overall cost.
5. Smooth material flow.
6. Robots provides solutions for material handling
applications, including fully automatic End of
line packaging, pick and place, sorting, storage
etc..
RMHS designed by feature:
Variable speeds.
Simple programming.
RMHS are especially beneficial when dealing
with hazardous materials.
7. MATERIAL HANDLING
PROCESSES
Pick and Place
Dispensing
Palletizing
Packaging
Part Transfer
Machine Loading
Assembly
Material Removal
Order Picking.
8. PICK AND PLACE ROBOTS
Easily automate picking a
part up and placing.
Speed up the process,
increases production rates.
Perform tedious, repetitive
tasks.
Benefits:
Speed
Reliability
Savings
Accuracy
Flexibility.
9. DISPENSING
Materials to be moved from one location to another.
Provide the flexibility.
Robots provide an opportunity to remove your workers
from these repetitious jobs.
From pouring liquids to picking and placing objects,
robots are the most reliable.
Benefits:
Precision & Accuracy
Repeatability
Consistency
Flexible Work Envelope
Increased Safety.
10. PALLETIZING
Refers to loading and
unloading parts, boxes.
Seen in many industries
including food processing,
manufacturing, and
shipping.
End-of-arm-tooling styles
allow flexibility.
Benefits:
Increased Production Rates
Flexibility
Reliability
Consistency.
11. PACKAGING
Make your packaging
faster, more efficient, and
less costly.
The type of packaging
required can vary, but a
robot can complete any
packaging process.
Benefits:
Increased Speed
Reliability
Less Wasted Time
Labor Cost Savings
Flexibility.
12. PARTS TRANSFER
Part transferring was
once done entirely by
hand.
Robots are efficient &
flexible.
Benefits:
Faster Speed Cycles
Efficient
Flexibility
Cost-Effective
Accuracy and Precision.
13. ASSEMBLY ROBOTS
Have expanded production
capabilities in the manufacturing
world.
Faster, more efficient and precise
than ever before.
Robots have saved workers from
tedious and assembly line jobs.
Benefits:
Repeatability
Speed
Improved Return On Investment
(ROI)
Labor Cost Savings.
14. MATERIAL REMOVAL
Grinding, cutting, deburring, sanding,
polishing - Material removal applications.
Robots can made product surfaces like smoothing
out steel; to precise, careful spot removal
techniques for jewelry.
Quality and speed are increased.
Benefits:
Accuracy
Repeatability
Cost Savings
Improved Quality
Improved Return On Investment (ROI).
15. ADVANTAGES OF RMHS
Effective utilization of men, machine, equipment.
Proper flow of material.
Improve the efficiency of plant.
Quick movement of raw materials within the
shopfloor.
Movement made by worker is minimized.
