碩士 === 明新科技大學 === 機械工程系精密機電工程碩士班 === 103 === The purpose of this research is to apply the 6-axesrobot for the wheel’s pick and place process in a sputtering factory. The methodsare firstly to study the production process of the factory, and then analyze the bottleneck of the present process and equipment. Based on thisknowledge, this research has designed better mechanisms and gripping devices. Moreover, this research has introduced the 6-axes Staubli robot to replace the old setup. Because the conveyor has to keep on moving during the production, this research has to usethe tracking function of the robot. A tracking mechanism is designed to follow the wheel’s conveyor. The exact position signals of the wheel and its platform are transmittedback to the robot controller. In this manner, the robot is able to pick the wheel from one side and place it on the platform on the other side during the moving process. The research has successfully built three robot systems to the factory, which is very helpful for the companyto improve the quality and the competitiveness.
