Cobot Ready Conveyors

EMI has developed a conveyor package to easily integrate with your Universal Robot.

EMI’s Cobot Ready Conveyors are designed to be integrated with your Universal Robot to provide continuous part transfer and are ideal for pick and place, machine tending, and packaging applications. This allows the Cobot and EMI Conveyor to interact without the use of an operator, while increasing productivity and reducing labor intensive jobs in today’s work environment. Choose any of our Conveyor models with either an internal or external drive.

Coupled with EMI’s URCap, any UR can easily control the conveyor’s speed and direction. Set-up is easy, simply connect the included Ethernet cable to your Universal Robot’s control box and install the URCap.

Included URCap Features:

To install, simply insert the included USB drive to the UR teach pendant.

• MODBUS communication via Ethernet cable
• Simple UR teach pendant interface for easy programming
• Compact touch screen speed control
• Variable speed control
• Directional control
• Detect workpiece presence
• User Manual

Integrating multiple cobot assisted conveyors with your Collaborative Robot can be used for simplified box-filling systems.

An UR is shown below, however our conveyors will work with any Collaborative Robot. Contact EMI's Engineering to learn more.

Combining a traditional EOAT with a Cobot EOAT and Cobot Ready Conveyor

EMI’s plate EOAT removes the part from the injection mold, hands it off to the Cobot end effector customized by our Engineers, and delivers the workpiece to a Cobot-Ready Conveyor. EMI helped automate this real world application in a customer facility.

OnRobot VGC10 with Custom 3D Printed EOAT and Cobot Ready Conveyor by EMI With a 33lbs payload, dual vacuum channels, built-in Quick Changer and Electric Vacuum Generator, the VGC10 is the next level of Vacuum EOAT for Cobots. Coupled with EMI’s Cobot Conveyor, EOAT framing, vacuum cups selection, 3D print capabilities and Engineering services, OnRobot’s VGC10 is a powerful Vacuum EOAT solution.

VG10 Vacuum Gripper shown below in its most compact form working with an EMI Cobot Ready Conveyor is perfect for packaging applications.

Cobot Ready Compatible Conveyors:

Internal Motor: EMI’s Extruded Aluminum Frame Conveyors Deliver a Sturdy, Lightweight Construction.

Low profile with an internal drive, this minimize interference when your operators and robots have to work closely around the conveyor.

Robotic Indexing Control Options:

EMI's indexing controls make it easy to interface a parts take conveyor with your robot.

Depending on your choice of Internal or External drives, your 'Cobot Ready Conveyor' comes with our Compact PLC Indexing Control (for Internal drive) or the T-99 Cobot Controller Package
