Stäubli Robotics is introducing the new TP80 fast Picker, an ultrafast four-axis new configuration of high-speed robot for standard pick & place applications. This innovative series of high-speed pickers deliver greater speeds of more than 200 picks per minute, and more flexibility at a lower cost to all markets.
Stäubli has long set the standard for high speed and precision in robotic performance, ensuring the highest possible throughput and shortest cycle times.
This new robot represents the latest innovation - demonstrating agility and delivering extremely fast cycle times due to its lightweight design. It maintains high precision "throughout the entire work envelope", having homogenous repeatability unlike rival delta robots. The TP80 fast Picker is extremely rigid, and competitively priced offering an economical alternative for numerous standard applications without sacrificing quality, durability or performance.
These characteristics enables the TP80 to become the first choice for a large variety of applications which traditionally have required a delta robot configuration.

ST Robotics Develops the Workspace Sentry for Collaborative Robotics
The ST Robotics Workspace Sentry robot and area safety system are based on a small module that sends an infrared beam across the workspace. If the user puts his hand (or any other object) in the workspace, the robot stops using programmable emergency deceleration. Each module has three beams at different angles and the distance a beam reaches is adjustable. Two or more modules can be daisy chained to watch a wider area. "A robot that is tuned to stop on impact may not be safe. Robots where the trip torque can be set at low thresholds are too slow for any practical industrial application. The best system is where the work area has proximity detectors so the robot stops before impact and that is the approach ST Robotics has taken," states President and CEO of ST Robotics David Sands.
