Tow Tractor Moves 11,000 Pounds Automatically or Manually via a Driver
Jungheinrich’s dual-mode EZS 350a NA automated guided vehicle (AGV) provides all the benefits of an electric truck with a laser-based navigation platform that requires no floor work.
Small-Payload Cobot Provides Industrial Speed and Cobot Safety
Comau adds safety features to the Racer-5 industrial robot to come up with the dual-mode Racer-5 Cobot: a fast automation solution for supporting multiple manufacturing processes that doesn’t sacrifice precision or employee health.
Award-Winning Design in High-Speed, 4-Axis Robots
Stäubli has set new benchmarks in dynamics, precision and cleanroom with its 4-axis line of Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arms (SCARA) for highly sensitive environments. Judges of the 2021 Red Dot Design competition recognized its unique cylindrical working area when they gave it the “Product Design” award.
Award-Winning Safeguarding Solution for Industrial Robots Lowers Collaboration Costs
Veo Robotics’ FreeMove sensors-and-software system uses advanced computer vision and 3D sensing to safely turn a high-speed, heavy-load industrial robot arm into a collaborative robot (cobot) that’s faster – and thus more productive – than traditional cobots.
High-Speed Cobot Ensures Safety Without Compromising Productivity
Designed to support intermittent interaction between human and industrial robot, ABB Robotics’ 1100 Swifti CRB (for “collaborative robot”) automatically slows, stops, and restarts depending on an employee’s presence in preprogrammed safety zones.
World’s Most Powerful Vacuum Gripper Cost-Effectively Lifts Heavy Loads
Capable of lifting 44 pounds (20 kg), OnRobot’s electrically powered VGP20 vacuum gripper performs the same heavy-duty tasks as a pneumatic gripper for a fraction of the cost and complexity. Compatible with all major robot brands.
Cleanroom-Ready Gripper for Demanding Applications
OnRobot’s IP67-certified, collaborative 2FG7 parallel gripper is the latest addition to OnRobot’s range of no-fuss, all-electric gripper products. Deployed within minutes, it’s designed to handle demanding payloads, even where space is tight.
Three Cobots with Built-In Vision Systems
Delivering payloads ranging from 9 to 31 pounds and reach up to 4.25 feet, the TM5, TM12, and TM14 cobots from Techman Robot can “see” and automatically reposition objects using a smart user interface.
All-in-One Kits for Quality Assurance Using Universal Robots’ UR3e Cobot
Designed for Universal Robots’ UR3e cobot arm, the Q-Span Workstation from New Scale Robotics comes with everything necessary to automate small-part measurement inspection. You can improve gage R&R and boost capacity without adding headcount.
Two-Arm Cobot Doubles Efficiency Without Sacrificing Safety
Even though they have two arms, Kawasaki Robotics’ duAro cobots fit into a single-person space while providing enough room for an employee to safely work alongside. Two models provide 8.8- and 13-pound payloads.
Three Updated Cobot Models Offer Greater Connectivity
The “A” in Hanwha’s HCR-3A, HCR-5A, and HCR-12A stands for “advanced.” Three cobot models improve on their predecessors by offering customizable solution packages that incorporate artificial intelligence and mobility technologies.
Handling Robot for Hazardous Environments
Yaskawa Motoman’s explosion-proof MHP45L handling robot easily moves 100-pound workpieces without interfering with peripheral equipment in a booth, streamlining automated paint line layouts by eliminating the need for dedicated part transfer.
