…four major types of collaborative robots recognized by the ISO. Some primarily move autonomously, abiding by visual sensors telling the robots to slow down or stop if people get too close. Others are built with collision sensors that stop robot arms when they contact obstacles. And others still are guided by hand, either in operation or during programming. Yaskawa America Inc. Motoman Robotics Division (Yaskawa Motoman) produces a wide array of industrial robot arms. Yaskawa Motoman’s “Human-Collaborative,” or HC series of cobot arms, are designed for different kinds of interactions between robots and people. Cobots designed with people in mind…

…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…

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.”…
