EOS Innovative Additive Manufacturing Technology in Material Handling and Robotics
automated handling equipment and robotic systems are often at the heart of industrial production. The fixture system used must always be designed specifically for the product to be transported. The greater the difference between the products, the greater the corresponding adjustment requirements of the fixture system. In addition, the production rate of the production equipment is generally proportional to the acceleration capacity of the fixture system. Therefore, lightweight fixtures play an important role in material handling and robotic system applications.
EOS's innovative additive manufacturing (AM) technology offers unprecedented advantages for the design and manufacture of fixture systems: The targeted use of materials means that even complex structures can be produced as stable lightweight components. Reducing the mass of moving parts can have a positive direct effect on acceleration performance, thereby improving machine productivity. If the product to be transported changes, the AM can quickly adjust the design of the fixture system.
A particular advantage of the EOS laser sintering technology is that the functions can be integrated directly into the component. Hinges, clamp mechanisms, air channels, sensor mounts, and other functions may be incorporated within the assembly during production. Hinges, clamp mechanisms, air channels, sensor mounts, and other functions may be incorporated within the assembly during production. Hinges, clamp mechanisms, air channels, sensor mounts, and other functions may be incorporated within the assembly during production. This can eliminate the additional step of assembling the components separately, thereby further improving cost-effectiveness.
