Robotiq Gripper company
Recent years challenging for the North American manufacturing industry and momentum is picking up back. It is still fresh in their minds, manufacturers more aware than ever that they need to reduce costs while also increasing the flexibility of their processes more quickly respond to changes in the market. It is in this context that Robotiq the adaptive gripper automate 2011 launches. The Gripper world's first industrial generating dexterous grab that industrial robots "hand-like" possibilities for their ability to a wider range of items to manipulate, explore a grip and press a particular part.
"Applications with a very large number of different parts are challenging to automate as contemporary current one hand/one tool approach. Tooling is complicated, and grabs change cycle time increases and decreases the Return on Investment. As such, many of these applications are still running with human operators. ", explains Erik Nieves, Director of technology for Motoman Robotics. MOTOMAN is a Robotiq partner who will distribute the Adaptive Gripper.
"Everyone has seen humanoid robots with human-like hands in the media. There are a lot of these hands out there, but most of them have limited to market research. Even if their flexibility is interesting, they are often too complex and fragile that makes them impossible to use in an industrial environment. "declares Robotiq the CEO Samuel Bouchard. The adaptive gripper of Robotiq is the first dexterous gripper that is robust and simple enough to grab required flexibility to the current production settings. The Gripper is focused on applications that have a very high share treatment of diversity and complexity of parts geometry. Examples of applications are: meeting transfer, parts, machine tending or share positioning in welding.
The technology is in development and testing for the past two years. It will be officially launched on the automate 2011 show held in Chicago from March 21 and 24, which it will be displayed on different partner of robots.
