January 2016 Product Spotlight Slideshow: Robots & Automation
This month’s Modern Equipment Review Spotlight focuses on robots and other automated machining and work handling equipment.
The AutoScan Collaborative RoboGauge from Perception performs fully-automated robotic 3D scanning for dimensional measurement and gaging applications, combining FANUC robot technology and Perceptron’s Helix scanning sensor.
This Capacitive F/T Sensor from ATI Industrial Automation is a low-cost option for measuring force and torque in such applications as grinding and deburring.
The NJ130-2.0 high payload robot from Comau can handle 130 kg in a space with a radius of less than 2 meters.
The RCP-Delta robot from Aerotech is available in four models for pick-and-place applications, with reaches ranging from 500 to 1,300 mm.
The LoadAssistant universal robot from Halter CNC Robotics can be connected to any CNC machine for production runs ranging from as few as 25 to thousands of workpieces.
