Dynamic Tooling one of OCTOPUZ's versatile features
OCTOPUZ not only makes the complex simple, but it can also help your company save time and improve safety through Dynamic Model Simulation. Also known as Dynamic Tooling, it is an OCTOPUZ feature that shows how objects can change when they're physically pushed during a robotic automation process.

Also known as Dynamic Tooling, this OCTOPUZ feature uses simulation to show how objects can change when theyre physically pushed during an automation process. Its ideal for anyone using compliance tooling or in situations where pushing on a part causes a change in tooling shape. By allowing the tooling to maintain the correct shape at different points, OCTOPUZ offers greater accuracy in collision detection during the simulation.
Dynamic Tooling can also measure, record and then show how far the tool has compressed, which allows the force on the part to be calculated. This can be useful, and sometimes necessary, for advanced applications. Once set up, the Dynamic Tooling feature is completely automatic.
Not commonly available in automation software, Dynamic Tooling is ideal for applications that involve grinding, sanding, buffing or polishing. Using OCTOPUZs Dynamic Tooling feature can lead to increased productivity since less time is spent checking for collisions. Theres also the benefit of greater safety by using simulation to check for potential collisions before creating code.
OCTOPUZ is a revolutionary software tool that combines the offline programming of robots with manufacturing process simulation. It provides a mainstream, versatile, powerful and effective solution for all of your robotic challenges. Dynamic Tooling is just one of several benefits offered by OCTOPUZ. The ability to program multiple robots, application versatility, complex kinematics systems and a versatile CAM interface make the software ideal for path-sensitive robot applications.

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.
