Bernecker & Rainer Industrie Elektronik GmbH (B&R) provides its customers with automation to provide maximum flexibility and economic efficiency. B&R worked with Codian Robotics, a supplier of pick-and-place robots, to power a family of delta robots for different applications across multiple industries.

The team used MapleSim, the high-fidelity modelling and simulation platform from Maplesoft to develop and test a delta robot model, based on the Codian D4-1300 robot. The goal of the project was to develop a model that would represent the Codian robot with sufficient accuracy, such that motor sizing could be confidently performed using the model, eliminating the need for physical prototypes…
