Position & orient
Present parts at defined positions and set their orientation for the next process step.
INDUSTRIAL HANDLING
Industrial handling.
Versatile cable robotics.
A flexible motion platform for different handling tasks. Gripper, workspace, payload and motion profile are matched to the part and installation process.
01 / VERSATILE HANDLING TASKS
One motion principle.
Many possible workflows.
These tasks define the intended applications. Suitability is assessed against the load case, tool and process.
Transfer & hand over
Move components between storage, stations and processing areas. Transfer points and motion paths are defined together.
Load & unload machines
Machine tending as an application: grippability, access, obstacles and the machine interface determine the design.
Assembly & process guidance
Move and present parts or tools for assembly workflows. Process forces and accuracy require a separate assessment.
02 / WHEN TO ASSESS CABLE ROBOTICS?
Geometry starts the conversation.
A variable workspace, different transfer points or a lightweight moving platform can justify investigating cable robotics. Your task determines the decision.
What we assess together
Reachable positions, permissible cable tensions, payload including the gripper, vibration behaviour, cycle time and positioning accuracy. Supporting structure, supply lines and integration into the complete installation also matter.
A clear performance reference
The 500 × 500 × 500 mm reference workspace and stated print accuracy of up to 0.1 mm relate to printer development. They are not guaranteed handling specifications. Payload, cycle time and handling accuracy are determined for each application.
Technical fundamentals03 / YOUR APPLICATION
Four inputs.
A well-founded start.
Part & payload
Dimensions, weight, centre of gravity and gripping points.
Workspace & motion
Transfer positions, travel, orientation and obstacles.
Cycle & accuracy
Target cycle, positioning requirement and permissible vibration.
Integration & safety
Gripper, interfaces, access and the safety concept of the complete installation.
Describe the task
Define the workpiece, motion path, transfer points and target values together.
Assess feasibility
Evaluate geometry, cable forces, tool and interfaces for the load case.
Demonstrate results
Plan an agreed trial and assess target values through measurements.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
What you want to know.
Which handling tasks are intended for the cable robot platform?
Development covers versatile industrial handling: positioning, transferring and presenting workpieces, loading and unloading machines, and moving parts or tools in assembly workflows. Gripper, load case and integration are designed for each task.
What information is needed for a handling enquiry?
Useful inputs include part dimensions and weight, gripping points, transfer positions, motion paths and target cycle time and accuracy. Machine access, obstacles and required interfaces also form part of the application assessment.
What payload and handling accuracy does Trimed achieve?
Binding handling specifications are determined for each implementation. The published 500 × 500 × 500 mm workspace and print accuracy of up to 0.1 mm relate to printer development and are not guaranteed handling specifications.
