Case: Glass Handling
Breakage risk makes tooling and control the whole story.
Case outline
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Process | Picking, transferring and placing flat glass |
| Problem | Manual handling risk and high breakage cost |
| Approach | Robot with vacuum tooling, edge detection and gentle motion profiles |
| Outcome | Fewer breakages and lower handling risk |
Implementation notes
- Vacuum integrity checks are essential before every lift.
- Motion profiles matter more than speed for fragile parts.
- Edge and surface defects must be detected before the lift, not after.
Handling fragile materials needs validation with real parts. Confirm the failure mode of the tooling in a power loss.
