IMTS - New ATI Products and Solutions at the IMTS 2016 Show
Visit ATI at Booth #N-6429, September 12-17, McCormick Place, Chicago, IL
ATI Industrial Automation will be exhibiting at the upcoming International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS) on September 12-17, 2016, in Chicago, IL at McCormick Place, North Hall, Booth #N-6429. IMTS 2016 is the premier manufacturing technology show in North America. More than 2,000 exhibiting companies will occupy 1.3 million square feet of exhibit space at the McCormick Place complex in Chicago, Illinois.
ATI will display several live robotic demonstrations that feature Robotic Tool Changers, Robotic Deburring Tools, Force/Torque Sensors, Robotic Collision Sensors, and Compliance Devices. All of their latest advances in robotic end-effectors and automation tooling will also be on display.
New Compliance Devices: ATI's newest addition to their Compliance Device product line is a Universal Compliance Compensator (UCC) that allows axial, lateral, pivoting, and twist compliance with a pressurized internal reset piston to bias the position. The UCC joins ATIs other recently developed Pivoting Compliance Compensator (PCC) models and Lateral Compliance Compensator (LCC) models. These unique devices allow pieces to be gripped or routed reliably even if the workpiece is severely misaligned. All three of these series are designed for high endurance and high repeatability and have robust guidance allowing for high moment loads in a compact work envelope.
Inductive Tool Changer Modules: ATI has developed a series of non-contact inductive coupler pass-through modules for ATI Standard Series Robotic Tool Changers. The NF12 and NB8 Master Modules will inductively provide power through an air gap to the Tool Modules to power up to twelve sensors for the NF12 or eight sensors for the NB8.In turn, the Tool Modules will transmit signals from the sensors inductively to the Master Modules through the air gap. Physical contact via spring probes and solid contacts for power and signal transmission is not required making it ideal for sensor monitoring in harsh or wet environments.
Tool Stands for Tool Changers: ATI has designed a series of modular Tool Stands for use with their wide range of Robotic Tool Changer models. These Tool Stands are designed for maximum flexibility to fit most customer applications.The modular system concept allows you to "build your own" tool storage rack based on the number of tools, positioning, orientation, and mounting arrangements required. ATI will have a large variety of Tool Stand options on display in their booth at the show.
Improved Manual Tool Changers: ATI has developed an improved series of Manual Tool Changers that provide a cost-effective and repeatable solution for quickly changing tools by hand. New improvements include: an all steel coupling housing for higher durability, a ratchet knob for additional security to the locked position, and improved torsional stiffness. A variety of ATI's Standard Series Tool Changer Utility Modules can attach to pass utilities such as air, fluid, power, electrical signals, and more.
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.
