What's New at Schumacher?

 ARTICULATING ROBOT HEADS

Custom articulating head mechanisms are being designed and built for a robotic package machine.  The heads mount onto a high speed SCARA robot.  The mechanisms pick up the product at a 16” outside spacing, articulate the product closer together to a 12” outside spacing, and then insert the product into a 12.5” wide box.

 

                  

 

REAR SIDE ARTICULATED OPEN

 

                  

 

FRONT SIDE ARTICULATED CLOSED


 

      AUTOMATIC BEARING TORQUE TESTER

 

An automatic torque tester is being designed and built to sort spherical bearings into three groups.  The machine will test bearings in the torque range from 4 to 192 (oz-in).  The bearings that test over and under the specified torque limits will get automatically sent to rework machines.  The bearings will then be automatically retested and resorted.
