Pick and place: Manufacturer, reports, information at INDUSTRIAL Production

Learning palletizing cell

MartinMechanic has developed an adaptive palletizing cell to prepare carbide indexable inserts for heat treatment in a sintering furnace.

MRK at the Fachpack

The future lies in collaboration

Teamwork of tomorrow: At Fachpack, ASA Automation is presenting an application in which a collaborative robot from Fanuc demonstrates direct cooperation with humans.

Robots

Stäubli presents an extended complete program of highly dynamic four- and six-axis machines, including the newly developed TS2-Scara series. All kinematics are convincing for sorting, filling and packaging under any environmental conditions - from rough to sterile.

Scara family from Yamaha

New arms for the Scara

Yamaha is expanding its Scara family: the available arm lengths now range from just 120 to 1,200 millimeters and the maximum payload from one to 50 kilograms to speed up pick & place, packing and unpacking tasks as well as mechanical assembly tasks.

Linear axis systems

Extended range for cobots

At Fachpack, SKF Motion Technologies will be presenting the Liftkit and Slidekit linear axes, which enable users to extend the reach of their cobots sevenfold, for example for pick-and-place tasks.

Component separation

Shaking with a robot

The Varioshaker 270 from Variobotic is a component separator that uses targeted movements to separate components with different geometries. The shaker with I/O interface and Ethernet can be adapted to almost any robot.

Handling portals

Even more productive

Gripping, lifting, positioning, setting down: The basic work process in pick-and-place applications is always the same. However, the requirements that plant manufacturers and their customers place on drives and grippers are different.

Handling portals

Portals from the modular system

Gripping, lifting, positioning, setting down: The basic work process in pick-and-place applications is always the same. However, the requirements that system manufacturers and their customers place on drives and grippers differ. SMC offers various solutions for individual applications with freely configurable modules for handling portals.

Built-in anti-twist protection

Hybrid stepper motor

Thomson Industries, manufacturer of mechanical drive solutions, has expanded its range of stepper motor linear actuators to include models with a built-in guide that prevents the actuator from twisting.
