Question: How can I find out if my robot can work with an EMI automation system?

Answer: It's probably alot easier than you think. EMI engineers will first assess your robot, your application and what you want to do. Based on this information they can determine the best type of control for your automation system.

Robot Control

Your robot control package may be capable of far more than you ever imagined. With proper programming by an EMI robotic specialist, and one of our robotic indexing conveyors, your robot may be able to provide a wide range of cost saving, automation processes, including:

  • Box packing
  • Parts stacking
  • Indexing for controlled cooling and parts accumulation
  • Reversing the conveyor to remove bad parts
  • Orientating inserts for robotic inserting applications
  • Orientating parts for secondary processes
EMI S-44 Control Options

If your robot does not have a sophisticated control package, EMI can design a high efficiency Robot Control System for your robotic applications. EMI’s Robot Control Packages, combined with an EMI conveyor, can provide the same wide range of automation benefits as a robot control package - box packing, stacking, indexing, reversing, orienting, etc.


The Perfect Robot Control System

An S-44 Indexing option combined with a T-77 D.C. Variable Speed belt drive can provide a wide range of cost saving, automation benefits:

  • Variable speed indexing can allow more parts to accumulate on the belt. This allows parts longer to cool (which can significantly reduce part damage when packing) and reduces operator time
  • All EMI variable speed drive options use a 'soft' start/stop which prevents tall or unstable parts from falling over easily
  • Options, such as reversing for bad shot rejection, are easily added
  • Provides accurate, repeatable, indexing. Standard indexing controls provide ±1/2" repeatability. If greater accuracy is needed, special options for even closer indexing are available
  • Plug and play controls allow you to quickly unplug the robot from the conveyor, which allows the conveyor to be moved quickly as application needs change
