In the era of Industry 4.0, industrial robots are widely used in various production scenarios.

Automatic pick-and-place (loading and unloading) is especially applied in the field of machine tools. Compared with traditional manual loading and unloading, the application of industrial robots not only improves production efficiency and quality, but also creates a safer production environment.

In this issue, we will introduce you to the Leantec industrial tool pick-and-place robot complete solution.

Leantec industrial robot - Tool pick and place solution

Joint robot + tray + end gripper + integrated service

01 External robot solution

Product selection

Use Leantec 7kg 6-axis articulated robot (LRA707-7-6A-R) dedicated to tool picking
Positioning accuracy ± 0.02mm
Protection level IP67
Maximum movement range reaches 707mm
Built-in trachea and IO wire, the end of the machine wrist is not hollow
Non-standard customization
Custom tray & gripper according to customer needs
Integration service
Provides a complete and professional design with installation, debugging and teaching services
Advantages of external solutions
The industrial robot and the material tray are installed outside the machine tool, which is convenient for operation and reduces interference. In this way, more material trays can be placed outside the machine, and the overall loading and unloading time is less than 10s.



02 Internal robot solution

Product selection
Use Leantec 4kg 6-axis hollow joint robot (LRA596-4-6H-R) dedicated to tool pick-and-place
Positioning accuracy ± 0.02mm
Protection level IP67
Maximum movement range reaches 596mm
Built-in trachea and IO wire, the end of the machine wrist is hollow
Non-standard customization
Custom tray & gripper according to customer needs
Integration service
Provides a complete and professional design with installation, debugging and teaching services
Advantages of internal solutions
The arm and the material tray are installed inside the machine tool. In this way, the structure is more compact, so the reaction time of the automatic door switch is eliminated. The loading and unloading efficiency have effectively improved, and multiple groups of material trays can be arranged according to the internal space of the machine tool. The overall loading and unloading time are less than 7s.



03 Advantages of the seven solutions

1. Customized fixtures & silos solutions to meet different types of automation needs.
2. The articulated robot repeat positioning accuracy is ± 0.02mm, which is competent for environments with high accuracy requirements (tool grinding industry, 3C industry).
3. IP67 protection effectively protects against water and cutting fluid erosion.



4. Can be installed inside the machine to save external space
5. Adopts SYNTEC controller, which supports graphic/ dialogue editing function.


6. The system provides a matrix tray function, which effectively reduces the time spent on teaching.


7. Users have access to customize according to their needs.
