…them must minimize contamination. igus yesterday launched the Clean SCARA Cable Solution, which it said is made 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…

…to a Quest QP200-SA2 case packer, where FANUC articulated SCARA and articulated robots orientate, pick, and place shrink-wrapped canisters by CL&D into the awaiting trays. Next, a Tekkra T-1030 in-line shrink-bundler system from Texwrap will wrap the trays containing 12 canisters each with film. The Tekkra T-1030 is a continuous-motion shrink bundler with a servo-driven seal bar and carriage. It is best for medium to high-speed applications, noted ProMach. Finally, a Quest Box Bot QB320 space-saving robotic palletizer will pick up wrapped trays and place them on a floor-level pallet to complete the demonstration, explained the company. Every Box Bot…

…suitable for unpackaged food. In combination with a SR-12iA SCARA robot, it will serve a cheese packaging line at Automatica. The SR-12iA is also ideal for handling packaged food via options such as food-grade grease. In the field of battery handling applications, FANUC will demonstrate its strength with a demo cell featuring an M-1000iA robot on a traversing axis from Güdel. The robot, which can move 1000 kg, has a particularly large range of motion. An application at Automatica involving the assembly of battery parts using an SR-3iA/U SCARA robot will also address this growing market. Diverse solutions for welding…
