As a system provider for service robotics, Pilz can provide users with comprehensive support in the implementation of complete robot applications: In addition to the necessary safety technology, Pilz also has safety gate systems or safe sensor technology for monitoring areas and rooms in its portfolio. This is complemented by the services required for CE marking.

The new Pilz service robotics modules will be making their debut in Munich. They enable users in the industrial sector to put together their own individual service robot application. The new range of solutions for service robotics consists of a manipulator module with six axes and a payload of six kilograms, the control module with drive and control technology and the operating module including operating and visualization software developed by Pilz. In addition to classic service robotics applications in non-industrial environments and the use of robot modules in modular, semi-automated small robot cells in industrial environments, the new modules are particularly advantageous for pick-and-place applications and applications with automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Modules live and in action
Visitors to the Pilz stand can experience the modules in action and interact with the robot systems: On request, a dual-arm robot packs a workpiece, which is brought to a manual workstation by another robot on an AGV and safely handed over to the operator. The workpiece is transferred via the operating concept of the dynamic PSENmat indexing mat.

The new service robotics modules can also be seen at Automatica on the stands of the Fraunhofer Institute IPA, the Berufsgenossenschaft Holz und Metall, the gripping technology specialist Schunk and the Ruhr University Bochum.

Various sensor solutions from Pilz are used in robot applications to protect man and machine, such as the dynamic safety mat PSENmat and the safety laser scanner PSENscan; the former in particular combines individual operating concepts and safe area monitoring of human-robot workstations. At its stand at this year's Automatica, the company will once again be providing insights into its research and development activities in the field of robotics. Pilz will be exhibiting the prototype of a dual robot and presenting the possibilities offered by the use of the open source framework ROS (Robot Operating System) for industrial applications, which was previously known from the research environment. as
