Abstract
This work presents a robotic solution to the automation of medical chewing gum production. The automation requirements are defined based on the discussions with the industrial customer, and then the concept design of a robotic system is conducted. In this paper, a robotic gripper has been developed to handle the trays in medical chewing gum production, and has been integrated to a safe and lightweight Universal Robot manipulator. The experimental testing has been performed using a UR5 robot arm to simulate the tray-handling in the process of medical chewing gum production: picking up, rotating, and placing down. The testing results are analyzed and demonstrate that the developed robotic solution and gripper meet the required tray-handling performance. The solution is accepted by the industrial partner for production testing.
