The scrap, which is the residual left from the anodes used, is obtained as waste material from the electrorefining process. The scrap should be bundled for commercialization purposes, and the current bundling process is performed manually, which implies high operating costs and a high physical demand from operators. Due to the above, a robot system and method have been developed for carrying out automatic scrap bundling processes through the use of robotic manipulators. The robotic system is composed mainly of an anthropomorphous robotic manipulator of at least 6 degrees of freedom, and a gripping mechanism which allows to take the scraps and assemble the bundles.
