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.
Expand Your Robot’s Utility by Adding a 7th Axis
Igus all-in-one linear actuator adapter kits contain everything necessary to enable a robot to move vertically, horizontally, or overhead. Kits are available for Universal Robots and Robolink robots.
Small-Footprint Part Loader Increases CNC Machine Productivity
Offering a payload of 26.45 pounds each, Halter CNC Automation’s three Compact robot models save on factory floor space, making it easier for manufacturers to automate part loading and unloading of lathes and mills.
Robot-Based Press-Automation Solution
ABB Robotics’ IRB 760PT is the basis of two configurations – the FX and the TRX – that optimize speed and minimize die interference in press-tending applications. The robot provides a flexible automation solution that’s easily repurposed to handle changing requirements.
Contactless Handling of Small Parts in Clean Rooms
Conventional handling systems often cause contamination or surface damage. ZS-Handling’s system featuring the MicroLevi gripper avoids both problems by using negative pressure and a patented ultrasound bearing.
4-Axis Palletizing Robot Moves Half a Ton
Gotta move heavy stuff fast? Yaskawa Motoman’s powerful PL500 robot efficiently enables a variety of palletizing applications, order picking and other logistical tasks for end-of-line or distribution automation. Payload: 1,102 pounds (500 kg).
Safe, Ergonomic Unpacking Of Sheet Metal Stacks
KASTO’s plate handler significantly reduces the amount of manual labor involved in unpacking and storing heavy plates. The machine also provides processors of sheet metal an attractive way to automate storage of heavy sheet metal stacks.
High-Speed Robotic Machine Loading Cell
Now is a challenging time for companies to recover fast and get production back up to speed to stay competitive. Pre-engineered for delivery in just eight weeks, Acieta’s FastLOAD DR2000 pays for itself in 24 or fewer months.
Miniature Coupling For Pallet Handling With Small Robots
Schunk’s extremely small, extremely lightweight Vero-S NSR coupling enables automated machine loading via extremely small robots. Integrated cleaning function ensures a chip-free flat work surface between pallet and robot coupling.
Intelligent Machine-Tending Solution
Designed to overcome challenges related to production fastener welding, the latest addition to CenterLine’s configured-product family feeds parts into robotic lines and cells.
