A handling system consists of various components. The composition depends on the respective application and the requirements. Typical components:
Robots or picking systems: These are mechanical devices used to grip, move and position materials or products. Robotic arms, pickers, suction cups or special tools are used to perform the handling tasks.
Drive systems: Drive systems enable the movement of handling components. This can be electric, pneumatic or hydraulic, depending on the specific requirements of the system.
Sensors: Sensors play an important role in gathering information about the environment and the positioning of the materials. They can be used to detect position, pressure, force, distance measurement or other relevant parameters.
Control systems: Control systems coordinate the actions of the handling system. They process the information from the sensors, control the movement of the drive systems and monitor the entire process.
Construction elements: Construction elements such as frames, rails, brackets or platforms form the physical structure of the handling system. They provide the basis for the assembly of the various components and ensure stability and precision during operation.
