I have a machine tending application and I am currently expecting a quote from nachi for the application. However, i have recently given more thought to using a universal robotics device. The selling point of universal is no guarding, i really do not want to put up guarding we have NO room.
I like ABB as an option because they are in Houston and i can get training and support in Houston. Nachi has been very supportive and seems interested in our applications.
The application is purely machine tending swap a part in and out of a machine and pick up the finished parts. Thousands of parts in a run, over a few days.
I have no robotics experience, but I am familiar with automation/mechatronics.
I also have read in passing that universal does not have a built in PLC, or I/O. Is this true? How does it talk to the machine without that.
