I was sort of involved with the installation of some Star part removal robots, that I will be building some EOA tooling for. These are 3 axis robots, that will pick parts out of molds, and take them to a degating station, then place them in a box, table or conveyer.
My question is: Should these robots have the travel(s) indicated so they are parallel and square to the travels of the molding machine? They mount on a small pedestal at the front, and the sloppy holes on 2 planes allow a lot of error. When I mentioned dialing the travels in, the dealer and install tech rolled their eyes and tried to ridicule me.. Seems to make sense to do things right from the start, but I am from the Old School.
