The KUKA.Sim simulation software brings robot applications to life – even before the real system is put into operation. With the new version of KUKA.Sim 4.0, users now reach a new level of planning reliability, simplicity and cost efficiency.
SCHUNK’s pneumatic, 4-finger universal grippers are designed for reliable and precise palletizing/depalletizing, and positioning of cylindrical workpieces in assembly and production processes.
An actuator is a component in a device that makes a particular kind of motion happen. Actuators are usually part of a larger system that includes sensors, structural components, and elements that interact with the world in a particular way.
An electromechanical linear actuator serves as a standard machine component that converts an electric rotary motor’s rotational movement into a linear force. Linear actuators require a power source input and a control signal input to function.
Phoenix Contact is extending its M17 to M40 PRO series of circular connectors with new designs: The device and coupler connectors with male and female contacts in the size M23 now provide you with greater flexibility in device connections and in system cabling.
With the new generation of UNO POWER power supplies, Phoenix Contact provides compact power supplies with a high power density. The new devices are space-saving and alignable without minimum clearances to neighboring modules, meaning they are ideal for use in compact control boxes.
When your motion system needs to position a load along a single axis with micron precision, a linear motion positioning stage is hard to beat. Chances are, however, your linear stage’s intended operating environment could present conditions that may compromise its performance.
Electromate Inc., a Canadian Distributor of Precision Robotic & Mechatronic Solutions, has recently announced a partnership with Universal Robots A/S, a Denmark based premier manufacturer of high-performance Collaborative Robotics.
Industrial companies can now implement CIP Security expansively in their systems with the Allen-Bradley CIP Security Proxy. Traditionally, industrial networks had little-to-no security built into them. Now with a more Connected Enterprise, it is needed more than ever.
SCHUNK has again increased its gripper fingers program, and they can be exchanged more rapidly now: whereas the proven SCHUNK BSWS jaw quick-change system required an Allen key for operation, however, the new manual BSWS-M system only requires the push of a button to mechanically unlock the top jaw and pull away from the gripper.
Intuitive parameterization instead of rummaging through thick catalogs: With the latest extension of the proven Linear Motion Designer (LMD) tool, Bosch Rexroth is setting new standards for the calculation of screw drives and linear guides.
Within the new generation of the KR CYBERTECH nano series, KUKA is now also presenting the specialists for continuous-path applications such as arc welding, adhesive bonding or sealant application: the KR CYBERTECH nano ARC family.
VisuNet FLX is, as its name suggests, a comprehensive range of highly flexible operator workstations and monitoring systems from Pepperl+Fuchs for ATEX/IECEx Zone 2/22 and Division 2 (global certifications pending), and non-hazardous areas.
FANUC America, a major supplier of CNCs, robotics, and ROBOMACHINEs has expanded its line of high-performance SCARA ROBOTS, offering more reach and payload options to companies with assembly, packaging, pick and place, and inspection processes.
Universal Robots (UR) is launching an enhanced UR10e with an increased payload of 12.5kg (27.55lbs), creating new possibilities for applications such as palletizing, machine tending, and packaging. The robot’s price remains unchanged.
Tried-and-tested ultrasonic measuring technology with intelligent diagnostic functions has served the process sector well for decades. Now, Endress+Hauser’s new Proline Prosonic Flow P 500 measuring system with world-first FlowDC functionality built in means this clamp-on measurement technology also can be employed.
