Vanguard Robotics / ESTUN integration partner
Robotics feasibility study
Check gripping, cycle time and layout before selecting a robot and pricing the cell.
Your starting point
Robotics feasibility study
For a plant considering automation that still needs to validate gripping, arm selection or the business case.
Scope to agree
Review the operation, flows, part variants and plant constraints.
Shortlist compatible robot geometries and gripping principles.
Study paths and arrange the required gripping or process trials.
Identify interfaces, responsibilities and pricing assumptions.
Prepare the work
Information to share with us.
- Part drawings or samples, mass, dimensions and known variations.
- Current and required throughput, volumes and batch changes.
- Workstation layout, existing machines and access constraints.
Acceptance and limitations
The review states which decisions the study supports, its assumptions and the validation still required. Simulation results remain distinct from physical trials.
The quotation distinguishes equipment supply, integration, trials and services after commissioning. Open points remain identified.
Applications
Connect the service to your process.
Palletising and depalletising
Stack cases, bags or totes at the end of the line. The project connects the gripper, conveyors and pallet patterns to your production requirements.
Information and trials
Machine tending
Load and unload a machining centre, lathe or another production machine. The cell coordinates part gripping, doors, clamping and machine states.
Information and trials
Robotic welding
Repeat weld seams on fixtured parts. Integration combines the robot, torch, power source and positioner with the selected welding process.
Information and trials
Material handling and part transfer
Move, orient and place parts between workstations. Arm selection starts with actual gripping requirements and interfaces to conveyors, presses or inspection stations.
Information and trials
Assembly and screwdriving
Present, insert or fasten components in a controlled sequence. The cell connects handling to inspection equipment and rejected-part management.
Information and trialsDeburring, sanding and polishing
Repeat a tool path over a part or present a part to a fixed tool. Process development covers contact force, consumable wear and the required surface finish.
Information and trials
Robotic sheet-metal bending
Load a press brake and reposition sheet metal between bends. The cell must hold the part, follow the bending sequence and manage regripping.
Information and trialsSorting, picking and packing
Pick products, orient them and place them in packaging or the next workstation. Feeding and gripping are designed around actual variations in product flow.
Information and trialsProject questions
Before choosing a robot.
Must ESTUN already be selected?
No. The study starts with your operation. It checks whether an ESTUN model meets the need and which points to compare with another proposal.
Can the study conclude that automation is unsuitable?
Yes. Unstable gripping, an uncontrolled process or batch changes can make an option unsuitable. The review explains the limitations found.
