Three Tools for a Safer, More Comfortable Welding Workshop
Strong Hand Tools’ Gas Grabber enables one person to safely and easily lift a heavy gas canister onto the company’s wheeled cart. Plasma cutting tray attaches to the Rhino Cart for greater versatility in mobile or stationary cutting, welding, and fabrication.
Assembly Robots Handle 55-lb and 88-lb Payloads
With longer reach and heavier weight capacities, Denso Robotics’ VM-VL series excels in large part assembly, long-reach computer tool tending, palletizing and depalletizing, material removal and deburring, and 3D bin picking. The two models also feature enhanced internal wiring for safer, more efficient operations.
3-Finger Electric Gripper Handles Wide Range of Cylindrical Objects
OnRobot’s 3FG15 three-finger gripper with a 150mm stroke is a powerful alternative to bulkier and less-flexible three-finger grippers currently on the market – a unique solution. The new gripper excels at heavy-payload machine-tending applications that require high precision and flexible handling.
Industrial Magnetics, Inc. Attains Record Deliveries in 2019
Results contribute to a decade of double-revenue growth, thanks in part to three acquisitions.
Ergonomic Double-Scissor Lift-and-Tilt Tables
Whether it’s an assembly cell, automated line, or part of a manufacturing process, oversized products often require work to be done in the vertical position. Verti-Lift’s double-scissor lift-and-tilt tables makes working on such products more comfortable.
Plug-and-Play Motorized Puller Assemblies
Versa Machinery’s motorized puller assembly kits come with all the components necessary for downstream handling of pipe, profiles, tubing, wire/cable, and steel materials. Available in pinch wheel or caterpillar designs, the pullers’ remote operator control station (OCS) can be mounted wherever desired.
Low-Profile Bidirectional Automatic Guided Vehicle
Creform’s CA-B50100-NSI automatic guided vehicle (AGV) provides more flexibility for movement along its guidepath because it can travel in both directions and rotate in place. The dual-drive wheels also give the AGV higher load capacity and the ability to travel laterally.
Leave No Tool Behind: Colorful Cantilever Clamps for FOD Work Areas
Easy-to-see Hi-Vis clamps, the latest in IMI’s Kant-Twist product series, are less likely to be forgotten in crowded or sensitive work areas such as engine maintenance. Both colors are available in 2-1/2-, 4-1/2-, and 6-inch copper-plated jaw sizes.

Automatic CNC Machine Tending Keeps Die Caster Globally Competitive
“If it’s repetitive, we want to automate it,” says Ron Marconi, engineering and technology director at an Illinois manufacturer of automotive and consumer products components. Faced with losing business to Mexico, the company deployed two robotic cells to increase productivity. The investment paid for itself in less than a year.
Upsizing with Jigless Welding
Greater robot payloads are opening the door to automatic fabrication of large, unwieldy components.
