When an application requires robotics, PD&B is a great partner. We have an extremely talented team of robotics engineers that work with the mechanical designers to create efficient and safe automation cells. We’ve created robotics cells for many applications, including:
CNC Machine Tending
Custom Packout/Palletizing Applications
Robotic Aided Manufacturing
Inspection and Vision Motion Integration
Machine Feeding Through Bin Picking and/or Pick and Place
so we can tackle nearly any issue. Customers sometimes prefer to stay with a specific PLC or robot manufacturer, so we have direct experience with Fanuc,, ABB, Universal, Yaskawa, Rockwell, Siemens, Keyence, Omron and many more. Most scenarios benefit from cross communication between a PLC platform and the robot controller, so having a team that can create easy to use programs on a variety of platforms means that as a customer, you get an efficient and easy to work on piece of equipment. Our team excels when projects require sophisticated solutions, especially when it comes to making things easier for operators to succeed. We strive to create systems that can recover intelligently after Estops, can pause for operators to intervene if necessary, use live measurements and data to make on the fly decisions. All of these things lead to more up time and better outcomes.
