At present, the reposition of base plates in an electrochemical process in the cathode stripping machine system is carried out manually, which implies a loss in the efficiency, high exposure to risk associated with the removal of plates and additional labor force being used. Due to these drawbacks, a robotic system is developed for the reposition and/or removal of base plates from cathode stripping machine. The robotic system comprises an anthropomorphous robotic manipulator and a gripping mechanism which allows taking the base plates from a mobile drawer rack and moves it through a defined path to the transfer station in a synchronized way with the control system of the cathode stripping machine, it replaces the base plates as they are rejected. Thus, most of the major problems associated with the safety of the personnel and the productivity of the manual and/or mechanical process are eliminated.
