Vanguard Robotics / ESTUN integration partner
Cell retrofit and takeover
Modify an existing cell after reviewing programs, interfaces and safety conditions.
Your starting point
Cell retrofit and takeover
For a plant changing parts, taking over an installation or replacing equipment while preserving understanding of the existing system.
Scope to agree
Inventory robots, controllers, options, peripherals and available backups.
Review sequences, recurring faults and machine dependencies.
Define changes, their effects on the cell and validation to repeat.
Plan the changeover, agreed fallback and post-change trials.
Prepare the work
Information to share with us.
- Brands, model references, software versions and available access rights.
- Programs, drawings, safety documentation and change history.
- New operation, target parts and possible shutdown window.
Acceptance and limitations
Retained and modified functions are tested against a list defined before work starts. Backups are identified and outstanding items that block restart are flagged.
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 trialsMachine 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
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 trialsTechnical selection
Families to consider.
Project questions
Before choosing a robot.
Can you take over another robot brand’s cell?
The work depends on equipment, access, licences and available documentation. We confirm the scope after inventory, before committing to changes.
Can the robot be replaced while retaining the tool?
Flange, payload, inertia, connections, paths and safety functions must be checked. Reuse cannot be established from payload alone.
