Functions
No matter whether it's a simple depositing operation or highly complex assembly work – handling systems are always involved. Handling devices range from simple, two-axis handlers up to highly complex industrial robots with six axes. The handler in MecLab® consists of pneumatic cylinders with plain-bearing guides and has two axes. The workpiece is held by a gripper which is likewise pneumatically driven. The handler can transport the workpiece from one station to another or can join two workpiece halves together.
