Comau introduces Rebel-S, its own 4-axis SCARA robot
Comau introduces Rebel-S, its own 4-axis SCARA robot, in 5 different models with a payload of 6kg and 3 different reaches.
Munich, 21 June 2016 - Comau introduces Rebel-S, its own 4-axis SCARA robot,
controlled by the R1C 19" rack-mounted controller, which can be integrated into a
single cabinet to control an entire line. The robots are also available in the
openROBOTICS version, where the robot is directly integrated into the existing
machine/line automation controlled by B&R technologies.
The name of these new robots reflects the differences embodied by the SCARA
compared with the other robots in Comaus portfolio. They can be considered
"rebels" in the sense that they are not being articulated, they offer a variety of
mounting positions, and they utilize spacers - a simple, yet very innovative
solution able to extend the robot's reach.
Rebel-S is available with reaches of 450, 600 and 750mm. All three versions can
be floor or wall mounted, while the versions with 600 and 750mm reach can also
be configured for ceiling mounting. This flexibility in mounting position is facilitated
by the use of dual cabling options (either vertical or horizontal).
The difference in reach is provided by spacers, modules which enable the robot to
extend its radius of action. With an extension kit composed of spacers and
cables, the 5 models are effectively interchangeable.
This modularity opens the opportunity to a last second robot configuration and
this means considerable savings when the customer purchases the members of
SCARAs family.
Alongside its robots, Comau will offer a range of add-ons, including conveyor
tracking and a plug & play vision system, as well as a series of service packages
as part of its after sales strategy.

The ERT150 - Dorner's Next Evolution of Edge Roller Technology Conveyors
The next evolution in Dorner's Edge Roller Technology conveyor platform, the ERT®150, is ideal for small and light-load assembly automation, as well as medical and medical-device assembly application. The ERT platform is the only pallet conveyor of its kind available with an ISO Standard Class 4 rating for cleanroom applications. Earning the ISO Standard 14644-1 Class 4 rating means Dorner's ERT150 will conform and not contribute to the contamination of cleanrooms to those standards. As implied by its name, the ERT150 (Edge Roller Technology) uses rollers to move pallets through the conveyor smoothly with no friction (a byproduct often seen in belt-driven platforms). The conveyor's open design eliminates concerns of small parts or screws dropping into rollers and causing conveyor damage or jamming. The ERT150 is suited to operate in cleanroom environments requiring a pallet handling conveyor. It is capable of zoning for no or low-back pressure accumulation and is ideal for automation assembly applications within industries including medical devices, electronics, consumer goods among others.
