Smurfit uses Varioflex suction cups from Fipa to handle its various types of packaging.

Camozzi has added new compact grippers to its product portfolio for the assembly sector. The company is presenting a whole range of grippers at Motek, including the newly developed CGPT series, a parallel gripper with T-guide.

Humans and robots are also moving closer together in logistics. Schmalz has therefore developed a gripper solution that uses a special product design to ensure safe human-robot collaboration (HRC).

Getecha supplies fully automatic solutions for capping canisters. When canisters are mechanically sealed with screw caps, accuracy and flexibility are as important as "sensitivity".
The use of robot grippers makes it possible to remove employees from hazardous areas, such as the vicinity of red-hot parts, which reduces the risk of accidents.
The US-based Barnes Group, a provider of products and solutions for industry and aviation, has acquired 100% of the Italian automation specialist Gimatic.

To move heavy loads more efficiently, Scaglia Indeva has further developed the Liftronic auxiliary device. The Liftronic Easy-6 is intuitive to operate, offers flexibility thanks to its modular design and is suitable for production thanks to its robust control unit.
Robotics for the smart factory

With this, the company shows how automation and handling tasks can be solved efficiently in a modular production system thanks to distributed intelligence.
Added value through digitalization

Companies expect real increases in efficiency and shorter throughput times when they use digitalization solutions. Dr. Kurt Schmalz, Managing Partner of J. Schmalz, explains the challenges and benefits of networking and HRC.
