RT Conference Proceedings T1 Full Production Plant Automation in Industry Using Cable Robotics with High Load Capacities and Position Accuracy A1 Culla, David A1 Gorrotxategi, Jose A1 Rodríguez, Mariola A1 Izard, Jean Baptiste A1 Hervé, Pierre Ellie A1 Cañada, Jesús A2 Ollero, Anibal A2 Sanfeliu, Alberto A2 Montano, Luis A2 Lau, Nuno A2 Cardeira, Carlos AB The aim of this paper is to introduce an innovative machinery result of combining cable suspended robot technology based on parallel kinematics with a traditional gantry crane. This machinery has been named Cablecrane. Its purpose is to keep the same load capabilities as in traditional gantry cranes while enabling full 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) control of the payload. This means that the payload is fully controlled in position and orientation while it is being manipulated. Thus, precision load handling and movement without oscillations are possible in any direction, in any orientation. In addition, combined with appropriate calibration, sensors and integrated CNC controller, most of manipulation tasks in plant can be programmed and automatized. The final result is an increase in production, full plant automation and enhanced plant safety.
