Film roll handling robot with weighing function

Core components
Manipulator body:
It can be a collaborative robot (Cobot), providing flexible and safe handling capabilities.
It can be an industrial robot (multi-joint robot), providing higher speed and load capacity.
It can be a truss robot, suitable for large-scale, high-precision, high-speed linear handling.
It can also be a hard-arm power-assisted robot, combining the flexibility of manual labor and the labor-saving function of the machine.
The choice of robot body depends on the weight, size, handling distance, speed requirements of the roll film and the need for collaboration with manual labor.

Special film roll gripper/end effector:
Mandrel gripper/Core gripper: Insert the inner core (paper or plastic tube) of the film roll and expand or clamp it to grab from the inside. This is the most common and stable way.
External gripper/clamping mechanism: Grip the edge or the entire outer diameter of the film roll from the outside.
The gripper design must ensure non-destructive gripping of the film roll during handling to avoid scratching, flattening or deformation.

Advantages
Improve production efficiency: Automated handling replaces manual labor, greatly shortens the handling time, and achieves 24-hour uninterrupted operation.

Real-time quality control: Instantly obtain the weight of the roll of film during the handling process, which helps to promptly detect overweight or underweight problems and improve the product quality pass rate.

Optimize inventory management: Accurate weight data can be used for more accurate inventory counting and management, reducing errors.

Save manpower and costs: Reduce dependence on physical labor, reduce labor costs, and avoid the risk of work-related injuries caused by improper manual operation.

Reduce product damage: The manipulator grabs and places the film roll in a stable and precise manner, avoiding scratches, flattening or falling that may be caused by manual handling.

Traceability: Combined with the production management system, the weight information of each film roll can be traced throughout the process.

High precision and stability: Ensure that the film roll is stable and accurately positioned during handling.

Strong adaptability: Special fixtures can be customized according to the size and characteristics of the film roll to adapt to film rolls of different specifications.
