High-performance Cost-effective Grippers Complete EOAT Kits

These EOAT complete configurations provide everything you need for a single or dual gripper solution. Schunk’s JGP-P grippers feature increased surface area providing up to 50% higher gripping force than its predecessor – and that's at the same size. These strong and cost-effective 2-finger parallel gripper is ideal for loading and unloading machine tools, assembly work, and pick & place tasks. The MTB application kits enable quick and easy implementation of automated machine loading. The specific application kits take on the important key role of workpiece handling and workpiece clamping. They seamlessly fit into the machine environment. Learn more about the complete EOAT packages

5 Ways Cobots Can Improve Manufacturer Productivity Changing the way people think about robots

How can manufacturers meet these challenges and still run a profitable production line? By accelerating automated manufacturing processes. However, that doesn’t mean more big, expensive industrial robots.   The new generation of collaborative robots (cobots) are changing the way people think about robots in manufacturing. Unlike traditional robotic manufacturing, cobots can be used for a range of tasks and don’t require a complex safety infrastructure.   Here are five ways today’s cobots enable manufacturers to stay competitive and unlock more value. Learn the 5 Ways

Meet the NEW Palletizing Solution Manually adjustable pedestal for lower pallet-height applications

The PE Series is a new palletizing solution that features our easy-to-use Material Handling Copilot, but with a manually adjustable pedestal for lower pallet-height applications (up to 60 inches / 1500 mm).   Robots should simplify your life, not make it more complicated. That’s why we’ve done all the programming already: save weeks of integration time and start palletizing within a day!

You get easy deployment and changeovers with 3 easy steps for all ISO- certified pallet sizes. Earn a faster ROI with synchronized motion control of the cobot and seventh axis for unparalleled cycle times. Learn more about PE Series Palletizing Solution

SICK 2D Machine Vision Sensors Artificial intelligence solutions

SICK offers a powerful 2D Machine Vision Sensor portfolio designed to manage challenges in all industries where a standard sensor would not work. These vision sensors provide a full toolset for positioning, inspection, measurement and reading, depending on the variant.    The Intelligent Inspection SensorApp from SICK ensures easy object classification that is not possible with traditional rule-based machine vision.

The SensorApp is powered by deep learning technology and available as a licensed option when ordering InspectorP6xx 2D vision sensors from SICK. Learn more about SICK 2D Machine Vision
