This project focuses on the development of a dynamic pick‑and‑place robotic application using a simulated Comau Racer 5 6-axis Robot integrated with Unified Robot Control Library V3 (URC V3), Emulate3D, and Studio 5000 Logix Designer. The team will design, program, and validate a high‑speed robotic cell capable of tracking and picking objects from a moving conveyor, reflecting real‑world OEM automation practices.
The system will be modeled as if controlled by a Compact GuardLogix PLC, interfacing with TLP motors and Kinetix 5700 drives, and will include both software‑based simulation and physical control‑cabinet wiring to mirror industrial deployment.
Modern production lines require high-speed pick-and-place systems capable of accurately handling moving products while maintaining reliability and safety. Many systems face challenges with conveyor tracking, motion synchronization, hardware integration, and scalable electrical control design. The objective of this project is to develop a simulated 6-axis robotic pick-and-place system with real-time tracking, integrating Rockwell Automation’s Unified Robot Control, while also designing a modular electrical cabinet that meets real industrial automation standards.
