Cable assembly: detect, grip and plug cables using 2D laser scanner

Detecting and gripping freely hanging cables is a highly complex task for a robot. In this video we show how a complete 3D point can be generated from the scan result by means of a 2D laser scanner in order to precisely locate e.g. a flexurally slack part such as a cable or wires in order to then force-control it/with a force-torque sensor into a component.

Machining with the robot in parallel with the machine time

With the new SCHUNK tools for machining with the robot, workpieces can be automatically deburred directly after machining in the machine. In the application example from the SCHUNK CoLab application center, a Fanuc robot guides a SCHUNK gripper combination. This grips a contoured steel component and guides it through three different machining steps. The tools are in fixed positions and the robot moves the product/component along with the respective contours for processing.
