Material Handling Robot: FANUC M-2000iA Sand Core Coating Solution

A FANUC M-2000iA robot uses iRVision 2D to locate and pick two halves of an assembled sand core. iRVision reduces the system cost by not having to force the 800lb cores into a consistent location for picking. The M-2000iA robot dips the assembled sand core into a coating solution. Once removed from the coating solution, the cores are rotated to remove excess coating material. The cores are then placed on a conveyor belt which takes the cores through a drying oven.
