I am working on a few concepts concerning a pick & place . I am picking up a 8 lb part about 1", and moving it about 10".
With my 8 lb part and about 15 lbs of structure , I would like to cycle this part and assembly every 2 seconds. Meaning the pick and place would pick up the part , raise it about 1" , move it forward about 10 " release the part , and then come back ( reverse) empty to pickup another part within 2 seconds , and then another cycle in 2 seconds.
My question is, would a typical 3 phase AC motor and drive , ( if sized larger than I need )work for an application like this , or should I go with a servo motor and drive ?
Thanks in advance for your help.
