The Basics of Robot End-Effectors Webinar
ATI Sponsors Free RIA Webinar February 16th, 2012
ATI Industrial Automation is sponsoring the Robotic Industries Association (RIA) free webinar, "The Basics of Robot End-Effectors" on Thursday, February 16th from 12:00 noon to 1:00 pm EST.
With video, narration and broad coverage by an experienced veteran, this webinar describes robot end-effectors such as parallel jaw, vacuum, and magnet based solutions. Solution approaches such as two or three position grasps and servo based designs give viewers options to consider. Force and torque sensing techniques are described. The webinar covers grip compliance, collision avoidance and breakaway options.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
