GiboHandling
GiboHandling for industrial use is based on known technology and experience from previous projects.
The solution is offered as a complete turnkey solution as described and easily tailored to customer specific demands
with either a cobot or an industrial robot.
Robot
Fanuc, KUKA, Omron TM
Gripper
Standard or application specific
defined by the task
Job
All jobs requiring placing a pallet on a
shelf
Solution
May be combined with Omron AMR
or integrated towards a third party
equipment
Safety
May be delivered as cobot, cobot with
safety scanner or with fence
Advantages
- Well-known technology tailored to your production
- Large variation in product size is now controlled by the robot
rather than manual systems - Possibility of higher throughput for future growth
- Profit from less waste of casting material
- Reduction of one-sided repetitive work (heavy equipment)
- Reducing time for handling, releasing employees to other
tasks - Greater job satisfaction for increased productivity

Functionality
GiboHandling combines a cobot’s easily accessible programming with a full safety solution allowing you to work with shorter cycle times than in full collaborative mode.
The functionality of the solution starts with an AMR (Autonomous Mobile Robots) that delivers a rack with a palette on which items are set for casting. The robot’s integrated camera finds the exact location of the rack and counts the number of filled shelves. One by one, the palettes are retrieved and held under a casting gun that moulds all the way to the edge of the workpiece. When the items are cast, the robot selects an empty shelf on the storage racks and places the palette with the fully filled items for hardening. After hardening, the robot calls on an empty rack. The hardened items are placed in the empty rack and can be picked up by AMR.
The robot controls the delivery and collection of empty racks. It reads quantity on a new order and keeps track of the placements and curing time in the shelf store. In addition, the robot is the master of the casting equipment, where a casting quantity is called according to which workpiece to be cast.
The entire solution is compact within the robot’s reach and it is all controlled from user-friendly HMI located easily accessible outside the safety fence.
