ROBOTIQ LAUNCHES DoF A COMMUNITY FOR ROBOTICS PROFESSIONALS

DoF is meant as a medium for sharing ideas and solving automation problems. “We realized that the know-how is locked in the head of automation engineers who cant talk to each other because they are far apart, focused on making their factory run,” explains Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq.

Québec City, Canada, September 12, 2016 - Robotiq launches DoF, an open community where industrial automation professionals share their know-how and get answers to accelerate their robotics projects.

DoF is meant as a medium for sharing ideas and solving automation problems. "We realized that the know-how is locked in the head of automation engineers who cant talk to each other because they are far apart, focused on making their factory run," explains Samuel Bouchard, CEO of Robotiq. "This is why we created this online community, to bring industrial automation pros together so they can help each other with their automation projects and stop reinventing the wheel on their own."
Members of the community say the platform accelerates their robotics projects, from design and integration to programming and troubleshooting: "Having access to free valuable resources and insights from professionals in all fields related to robotics made the implementation of our various automation projects faster and easier" says Matt Bush, COO at Hirebotics.
The DoF community is now open to the public, visit it on dof.robotiq.com.

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.
