…tooling solutions are compatible with cobots that have an ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 end-of-arm mounting pattern. The company added that blank robots and tool plates are available for those who wish to use their own mounting patterns. The company highlighted the Microtool End Effectors, which it said enables a cobot to perform palletizing functions. Users that know the length, width and weight of the packages to be lifted and transferred can easily select the palletizing kit type and pre-determined vacuum cup size necessary for the application. Off-the-shelf kits eliminate the need to design tools, Destaco said. Destaco offers broad range of EOAT…

…urologic procedures, general surgery procedures, and gynecologic procedures. Its iso-centred motion capability, achieved through ultra-smooth, electromechanical actuation, allows for simultaneous Trendelenburg or reverse Trendelenburg and slide creating a virtual pivot point. For a complete solution, the TS7000dV Surgical Table is outfitted with patient positioning accessories. ITM backed by studies Qualitative studies conducted in 2020 with US and European surgeons and anaesthesiologists found that ITM improved workflow efficiencies, enhanced visibility and access during surgeries, increased communication and focus amongst the surgical team, and delivered safety and sterility advantages. In 2021, a Delphi consensus study conducted with robotic colorectal surgeons in the…
