Handling Robot End of Arm Tooling Modular Framing
Handling Robot End of Arm Tooling Modular Framing
(OP)
Looking for alternatives to a welded steel construction handling jig frames that we currently use. In the past we have used Bosch Rexroth, but had troubles due to poor repair-ability in downtime situations.
Found a video with a hexagonal modular system. see link. Does anyone know who makes this product?

RE: Handling Robot End of Arm Tooling Modular Framing
What does it cost to have this process down for 1 hour? Down for 8 hours? Down for 24 hours? You need to review all the necessary processes occurring inside the placement processes and determine downtime caused by internal problems to the process. You will be surprised after you review the data. Your current assumptions may point you in the wrong directions. Use the data to drive your decisions.

We currently calculate in the range of $10/sec for the first hour or so, then we start impacting other process and it grows rapidly after that. Mainly we like to get it working in the meantime, then fix it on graveyard shift. Often means welding a new bracket after an impact and dealing with the related quality problems while running.
Saw the video and had never seen that type of modular framing was wondering if any one had any information on it. It's something we have never used before.
