EUT08 - Robot components

Overview

SOTO 2.1 has a conveyor gripper that can pick up and place load carriers. The gripped load carriers can be held in the load carrier press in the upper area of the robot while the gripper rotates under the load carrier. In this way, the orientation of the load carriers can be determined during placement.

Picked up load carriers can be temporarily stored in the backpack. The Backpack can be adapted to different types and sizes of load carriers. The capacity of the backpack depends on the load carriers used.

Battery disconnect switch / Power switch

The battery disconnect switch is located at the rear left of the robot. It is used to disconnect the robot from the battery.

Gripper

SOTO 2.1 is equipped with a conveyor gripper. The load carriers lie on the conveyor belts and can thus be picked up and deposited.

The gripper is automatically adjusted to the load carrier on several axes.

Weight of the gripper	Maximum weight per load carrier
126 kg	20 kg

Load Carrier Press

The load carrier press is used to hold a load carrier while the gripper rotates under the load carrier. In this way, the orientation of the load carrier can be determined during placement.

Notice!

The load carrier press can only accommodate KLT load carrier.

Load carriers that do not comply with VDA 4500 (R-KLT, RL-KLT) are not supported by the load carrier press as standard.

Load carriers that deviate from VDA 4500 (R-KLT, RL-KLT) but have similar properties must be tested before they are released for the load carrier press.

Backpack

The backpack is used for intermediate storage of the load carriers picked up. It can be individually adapted to the existing load carriers. It has a tilting mechanism to tilt the load carriers.

The pick-up capacity depends on the load carriers present.

Notice!

The load carriers in the backpack are not monitored. Do not remove any load carriers from the backpack without being explicitly instructed to do so.

Removed load carriers may have to be transferred manually to the warehouse management system.

Battery

Product category

Model name

Rated capacity of one cell

Average operating voltage of one cell

Lithium-ion battery pack

(lithium iron phosphate battery)

LIPY041WWPCSY6

21 Ah

25.6 V DC

(each two cells in series connection to supply system operating voltage of 48 V DC)

The batteries used are basically maintenance-free. During the prescribed annual inspection, the batteries and connected cables must be visually checked to ensure that they are in fault-free condition.

The intended use of the batteries does not make any special demands on the working environment.

The batteries can be disconnected from the system using the power switch.

Warning!

Fire hazard! The electrolyte is flammable.

Avoid short circuits at the connecting clamps on the batteries. Remove robots with damaged batteries from the fire hazard area immediately.

	Warning!
	Danger due to gases! Gases produced by burning batteries can cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and throat.

Notice!

The batteries need to be fully charged at least once per week to prevent degrading of the batteries.

If the batteries are not charged fully in regular intervals, the battery charge may be impacted negatively or the batteries may suffer damage, resulting in a need for replacement.

Notice!

The batteries may only be charged with the supplied charger.

If the batteries are charged incorrectly, the battery system switches off automatically. If the charging parameters are extremely exceeded, the batteries may become defective.

Induction surface on the robot

SOTO 2.1 uses contactless inductive charging. The robot automatically moves to the charging position. The induction surface of the robot communicates with the induction surface of the charger. Only when both devices have recognized each other is the charger activated and the robot charged.

	Caution!
	Risk of burns! The induction surfaces on the robot and on the charger can become hot during charging.

Warning!

Risk of electric shock! The charger is supplied with 230 V.

Work on the charger may only be carried out by trained electricians.

Disconnect the charger from the power supply before opening the charger.

Caution!

Danger of burns! The charger becomes hot during charging.

The charger housing must be closed during normal operation.

Notice!

The batteries may only be charged with the supplied charger.

If the batteries are incorrectly charged, the battery system switches off automatically. If the charging parameters are extremely exceeded, the batteries may become defective.
