…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…

…the rigorous quality management and quality assurance standards of ISO 9001:2015 to obtain certification from TUV Rhineland of North America. The additive manufacturing company said the certification will help streamline the supplier audit process. “Reliability is key for additive manufacturing. We're trying to help manufacturers meet traditional standards of quality, accuracy, strength, etc.,” Shai Terem, president and CEO of Markforged, told Robotics 24/7. “Without industry certification, that effort has been done application by application, one customer at a time.” Markforged said its Digital Forge is designed to enable manufacturers of all sizes to create robust, end-use parts in both metal…

…Can you describe the process for complying with the ISO 26262 functional safety standard? Lee: Safety has been the priority for every move we make at STRADVISION. We are careful not to rush innovation if it might compromise any safety. Working within the automotive space as we have, that industry itself upholds strict and specific standards when it comes to driver and passenger safety. Certifications like ISO 26262, ISO 9001, ASPICE, and SOTIF are just a few of the standards and goals put in place for emerging software like SVNet. We work directly with automakers, Tier 1s, and OEMs for…

…in the works As the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) begins to adopt Version 1.0, MassRobotics and its partners are working on Version 2.0, which came out of an Advanced Robotics for Manufacturing (ARM) Institute project led by Siemens and FedEx, Theobald noted. Version 2.0 establishes a mission communication application programming interface (API). It is intended to prevent too many robots from trying to use a single optimized route at the same time. Other features are left to fleet management software, said the panelists. After years of talk about the need to manage heterogeneous fleets, why are standards efforts moving…

…just on administrative controls. TÜV Rhineland certified Veo for ISO compliance.” The FreeMove software still runs on fail-safe hardware, providing manufacturers dynamic speed and separation monitoring to automatically stop a robot when human co-workers move closer to the robot during operation. This lets manufacturing teams prioritize safety and productivity without sacrificing one for the other, the company claimed. “We had to build our own hardware,” Sobalvarro explained. “It includes two server-class Intel motherboards with dual Xeon processors. All safety outputs have to fail over to the right positions, and we follow a dual-channel approach throughout.” “We’ve always believed our advanced…
