B&R
Configuring instead of programming
With a ready-made software solution from B&R, machine builders can now implement pick & place applications much more easily, according to the supplier.
The system not only controls the robot itself, but also coordinates with other axes, conveyor belts or intelligent track systems. mapp Pick&Place gives the user maximum freedom in designing the process. Any number of delta, articulated arm and scara robots can be used. The software also automatically optimizes the process according to the application manufacturer's requirements.
Options include, for example, the shortest possible picking time, first in - first out or energy-optimized movement profiles.
The tool is based on the 'mapp Technology' modular software system and is therefore automatically connected to all other 'mapp' software components. Coordination with other axes, the B&R vision system or the web-based 'mapp View' visualization can therefore be set up with just a few clicks. A large part of the manual programming work is eliminated.
