Clear Automation adds robots to PennEngineering presses
Clear Automation supplies robots to PennEngineering for its PEMSERTER Series 3000 Press fastener installation press. This allows completely hands-off installation of self-clinching.
Clear Automation supplies robots to PennEngineering for its PEMSERTER Series 3000 Press fastener installation press. This allows completely hands-off installation of self-clinching.
The system is offered in two standard packages to accommodate various work piece sizes. The turnkey package integrates an input conveyor with locator, output conveyor, gripper, FANUC robot, and a basic sequence program to interface with the PEMSERTER Series 3000 press. Among available robot options, a robot slide can be supplied to expand work cells for multiple PEMSERTER presses.
The PEMSERTER Series 3000 automatic fastener installation press system reliably performs without hydraulics to install all types of self-clinching fasteners rapidly, accurately, and permanently in thin metal sheets. The press is designed with a 24" / 61cm throat depth, runs at unprecedented cycle rates, can realize a ram force up to 16,000 lbs. / 71.2kN, can be operated remotely through networking, and is CE certified to comply with applicable European standards.
PennEngineering, was founded in 1942 and this year celebrates 70 years of excellence and innovation in fastening technology.
Clear Automation specializes in the custom design, engineering, fabrication and installation of integrated robotic and machine vision systems. The company manufactures a variety of automated assembly and packaging machinery for multiple industries including personal care products, medical devices, automotive, electronics and machine components.

Schmalz Technology Development - Vacuum Generation without Compressed Air - Flexible and Intelligent
• Vacuum generation that's 100% electrical;
• Integrated intelligence for energy and process control;
• Extensive communication options through IO-Link interface;
Schmalz already offers a large range of solutions that can optimize handling process from single components such as vacuum generators to complete gripping systems. Particularly when used in autonomous warehouse, conventional vacuum generation with compressed air reaches its limits. Compressed air often is unavailable in warehouses. Schmalz therefore is introducing a new technology development: a gripper with vacuum generation that does not use compressed air. The vacuum is generated 100% electrically. This makes the gripper both energy efficient and mobile. At the same time, warehouses need systems with integrated intelligence to deliver information and learn. This enables the use of mobile and self-sufficient robots, which pick production order at various locations in the warehouse. Furthermore, Schmalz provides various modular connection options from its wide range of end effectors in order to handle different products reliably and safely.
