A Study of the Robot Loading/Unloading Unit Based on the Optimized Automatic Verification System of Electric Meters

Based on the study of the robot loading/unloading unit in automatic verification system of electric meters, this paper proposes almost efficient assigning method of robot loading/unloading. The established efficient model reasonably assigns the meter-gripping and box-gripping to the loading/unloading robots, designs the robots gripping device combined with vacuum discs and pneumatic fingers, which realizes the compatible gripping of the turnover boxes and electric meters without changing robot gripping devices, and spares the "gripping device changing" step, which simplifies the whole operative procedure. Therefore the problem is solved of the lower efficiency of the robot loading/unloading unit compared with that of the whole production-line automatic operation of the electric meters. This study can greatly increase the operative efficiency of robot loading/unloading unit. This design is easy to be spread with an obvious improving effect of highly enhanced operative efficiency of the whole system.
