Schmalz at the Motek
Five challenges, five answers
Under the motto "Handling your automation challenges", J. Schmalz will be presenting handling solutions at Motek. Each exhibit has its own focus: Schmalz meets the challenge of energy efficiency with the new GCPi compact pump.
This all-electric vacuum generator controls the speed of the pump as required and optimized for the respective workpiece. For example, it is suitable for use on lightweight robots or in mobile applications with autonomous transport systems and robots.
On the subject of resource efficiency, Schmalz is presenting the ZLW lightweight layer gripper, which enables palletizing with minimal use of resources. The ZLW handles different goods such as packages, pouches, jars, cans or buckets efficiently and reliably. The focus on customization refers to the individualization of grippers. The SLG lightweight gripping system can be configured with just a few clicks and is quickly available. In combination with a vacuum generator, it can also be part of the Match end-of-arm ecosystem. Gripping point determination is a new feature of the online configurator for SLG grippers: the software uses the workpiece geometry and surface to determine ideal gripping points and constellations. Under the heading Complexity, Schmalz will be showing a complete system that uses a camera and suitable software to recognize objects in a box, grips them and places them in another box in an orderly fashion.
The new, mobile and modular KBG crane gantry is used when the statics rule out crane installation on the ceiling. An SRA suspension crane system for vacuum lifters is attached to the gantry. With the attached tube lifter JumboFlex, users can move loads of up to 35 kg in almost all in-house production and logistics processes.
