…the Apex, N.C.-based company explained. The MC-50 features an ISO 50 mm (1.9 in.) mounting interface on the master side and tool side, and it mounts directly to most cobots. ATI said its low-profile Tool Changer “seamlessly integrates with many common cobot marketplace grippers and end effectors.” In addition, the MC-50 supports a variety of electrical and pneumatic utilities for downstream EOAT through four M5-integrated pneumatic pass-through ports and a mounting flat for optional ATI Utility Modules. ATI said it is offering the new Tool Changer to industry segments including electronics, aerospace, automotive, and general industry. The company recently won…

…optimized high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free according to ISO Class 2 even in high-speed applications. It is also stronger and more user-friendly than classic corrugated hoses. In electronics production, tiny particles invisible to the naked eye can wreak havoc, ruining electronic components, semiconductors, and displays. Therefore, it’s critical that machines like SCARA robots, which move rapidly along four axes in under a second, generate as little friction and contamination as possible. During these high-speed applications, there is always a risk that tiny particles will detach from corrugated hoses and tubes. Maintaining ultra-clean manufacturing conditions is essential to prevent microscopic…

…The scanner also provides an acceptance test based on ISO standards, accuracy to 0.025 mm (0.0009 in.), and high resolution, the company explained. With its blue laser technology that can handle reflective surfaces, the R-Series is available in 16 configurations, so can handle any inspection process, as well as a wide range of part geometries and sizes – from 1.5 to 3 m (4.9 to 9.8 ft.). Not only does the R-Series not require robotics expertise of shop-floor operators, but it is also compatible with existing metrology software and digital twins, Creaform said. The scanner works with industrial and collaborative…

…of high-performance plastics and works almost particle-free, according to ISO Class 2, even in high-speed applications. Microscopic debris can ruin electronic components, semiconductors, and displays, noted igus. Machines moving at high speeds, such as SCARA robots that move along four axes in less than a second, can release particles from corrugated hoses and tubes. “Finding a way to guide cables and hoses on a SCARA robot in a cleanroom is a science in itself,” said Matthias Meyer, head of the triflex and Robotics Business Unit at igus. “Fast movements are pure stress for the material, which releases unwelcome abrasion particles.”…

…that it was the first lidar provider to obtain ISO/SAE 21434 automotive-grade cybersecurity management certification from TÜV Rheinland. As of Dec. 31, 2022, Hesai had shipped a total of more than 100,000 lidar units. The company has established strong relationships with leading automotive OEM, autonomous vehicle, and robotics companies worldwide, covering over 90 cities in 40 countries. Last month, Hesai announced a strategic partnership with software integrator CRATUS Technology to develop autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) using its QT128 safety-rated 3D lidar to help ease warehouse labor shortages. The company also partnered with Inertial Labs, which will use its sensors to…

…requiring more specific robotic safety measures. Updates coming to ISO 10218 Carole Franklin There is some work being done to update the current standards. One of the most foundational documents outlining robot safety is ISO 10218, which is broken up into two parts. Part 1 addresses the requirements of robots, and Part 2 addresses integrating robots into a system, Carole Franklin, director of standards development at the Association for Advancing Automation (A3 and formerly the Robotics Industries Association), told Robotics 24/7. The two parts are being updated for the first time since the last version was published in 2011, and…
