| Abstract: | A new lightweight parallel kinematic serves as the basis for a material transport system designated for the automated supply of packaging machines with the necessary paper and foil material. The manipulator, a modified Stewart platform, resembles an overhead tripod and is equipped with an air compressor and a PC-based control with a multitasking real-time operating system. It travels on a gantry railway, using on-board visual sensors for the location of the bobbins with packaging material that are to be transported. The intelligent sensors enable the manipulator to locate the proper bobbin in the quasi-disordered arrangement, depalletize it and transfer it to the requesting machine. |
