Gripper with rectangular suction cups
With a new gripper from Piab, six-packs with cardboard wrapping can be handled safely and without leaving marks.
The Chemnitz Training and Application Center (SchAz for short) makes human-robot collaboration tangible with demonstrators. The Zimmer Group provides support with gripper technology.
A research group at the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) at the University of Stuttgart is working on models that also take object dynamics into account when calculating robot control sequences and trajectories.
Stecher Automation realizes the Smart Factory with the Matrix cell. Various manufacturing processes can be integrated. The cell links the processes in such a way that several products can be manufactured simultaneously and flexibly. An example of intelligent automation for SMEs.
Deciding on a printing material in additive manufacturing has become much easier. Whereas previously only one plastic could be printed, 2-component 3D printing opens up completely new possibilities.

Robots increase the efficiency of small and medium-sized companies. Until now, however, access to automation solutions has mainly been available to experts, particularly in large companies. The Robotop platform is designed to make it easier to get started.
Robots support logistics processes
A sea container contains between 20 and 30 tons of cargo. Unloading them is a logistical, time-consuming and physical feat. This is where intelligent robot systems from Copal can provide support, with SEW supplying the appropriate drive and automation technology.
