FANUC Robot system integration services		ABB and other Robot system integration services
We have over 10 years of experience working with FANUC’s robots using RJ2, RJ3, RJ3iB, and latest RJ3iC controller platforms. We acquired and maintain unique know-how of FANUC Teach Pendant programming (TPP), KAREL, Simulation (SimPRO, HandlingPro) and many robot software options and features that differentiate us from others. Such know-how helps us integrate robots most cost-effectively and within a short-time frame taking advantage of powerful FANUC software technologies.		For example: We have successfully integrated ABB robots that used SC4, SC4Plus and IRC5 robots controllers. We also developed ABB Robot and Cognex Insight vision system package, including development of robot and vision routines to transfer data, do an automatic job change and manage part vision database. Our strong knowledge of general robot integration principles allows us bring your ABB, Motoman, Kawasaki, Nachi or Kuka robot cell up and running in a short timeframe.
Machine and Robot Vision Systems       Virtually every 3 out of 4 of robots we integrate include vision systems that have been designed by Midwest Robotics. Our vision systems are flexible, easier to use than others and cost effective, thereby meeting today’s and tomorrow’s manufacturing demands. CASE STUDY (FANUC Vision system example *): compare a part transfer system required for a robotic pickup using two different part aligners:
Vision aligner* 4-axis servo driven mechanical aligner* Design and build time 1-2 weeks 4-10 weeks Turn-key install cost 9,000 USD over 40,000USD Flexibility 100% 50-90% Model job change time 1sec 120sec to 60 min Moving parts NO YES Spare parts cost $150 cable $2000 per motor   $750 frame grabber $3000 per amp   Midwest Robotics has the knowledge and experience required to design and integrate a good vision system. Items like lighting, optics, software, and mechanical design of vision frames, camera enclosures, robot tooling, etc.
