Sawyer with Clicksmart
Everything under control with one click
Rethink Robotics is presenting Cobot Sawyer at Automatica with an expanded portfolio of gripper solutions. The patented Clicksmart technology enables the gripper tool to be changed in seconds and integrates the end effectors of numerous manufacturers.
At the heart of the technology is the Clicksmart gripper plate, whose integrated sensors automatically detect and save the configuration of the respective gripper. As soon as a gripper tool is placed on the robot arm, Sawyer recognizes the required configuration and knows how to operate the tool.
Plug and play tool
One of the biggest challenges when using collaborative robots is changing the end effectors, which must be selected precisely for each application. With Sawyer's Clicksmart technology, companies can use numerous tools from industry-leading third-party suppliers such as Schunk, Schmalz, Piab, Gimatic, Zimmer Group and OnRobot in addition to the Rethink Robotics gripper family and switch between end effectors without time-consuming reprogramming. The respective gripper solution can be controlled directly via Sawyer's Intera software platform.
With the expansion of the Clicksmart gripper portfolio, Sawyer can be used with just one click for applications in various industries - from the packaging and logistics sector to electronics production, metal processing and the plastics industry - without any significant downtimes or changeover times. as
