The scope of an automation project extends beyond the capabilities of a robot, we can provide custom built special purpose equipment for an array of different applications. We can offer:

Custom designed equipment for specific manufacturing tasks
Robust reliable systems comprising readily available spare part components
Pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical systems to suit the tasks at hand
Intelligent machines controlled by PLC, robot or motion controllers
Simple operator interface through HMI touch panel
Applicable to all industry and application sectors
Designed, manufactured and commissioned in house at JHA&R

Robot gantries

Click to enlarge

Gantries are ideally suited to applications where floor space is at a premium and placing the robot above the machine still permits maintenance access at ground level. Typical applications would be removal of parts from an injection moulding machine or loading parts to a machine tool.

Unique amongst robot manufacturers, Fanuc offer a range of robots designed to operate on overhead gantries including the “Top Mount Robot” range, available in payloads from 6Kg to 200Kg
Robots are able to mount on the side or beneath the gantry, and travel along the gantry by means of a Fanuc servo motor and a rack and pinion drive.
The Fanuc servo motor is controlled using an additional axis card, located within the robot controller and programmed from the robot’s teach pendant.
Flexible power and signal cables are located within a drag chain to the robot, and are available in a range of lengths to suit different gantry sizes.

Floor tracks

Floor tracks provide a cost effective means of allowing the robot to access multiple work stations which would normally be outside the reach of the robot.
