QAB Bearing partners with clients in the robotics industry to provide high-quality timing belt pulleys, timing belts, spur gears, and gear racks ideal for robotics applications.
Robot handlers load and unload machines with custom-designed fingers/grippers and can be programmed to perform a variety of manual processes such as opening and closing doors, positioning and placing labels, and starting other machines. Universal robots excel in high volume repetitive tasks to ensure that quality is maintained while “lead time” is shortened. Operators reload the trays for the robot and periodically examine the machined parts after a set amount of product has been inspected. The robot contains sensors that make the system automatically stop if something is detected in its path, so workers can safely work alongside the new state-of-the-art technology. B&B Manufacturing uses a UR-10 robot for a variety of repetitive tasks.
