The ARBURG Technology Days 2016 included a light-hearted demonstration of just what automation can achieve: a picker, linear robotic system and six-axis robot were used to help a fleet of Bruder model cars negotiate an obstacle course.
An INTEGRALPICKER V loaded and unload two dumper trucks and a tractor, while a linear MULTILIFT V robotic system made sure that the vehicles covered a great deal of ground in dynamic style. In addition, a six-axis robot used its repertoire of flexible 3D movements to handle a tractor. The three automation units worked hand-in-hand and communicated with one another by means of peripheral equipment interfaces.
