Shuttleworth, powered by Pro Mach, is a premier manufacturer of material handling solutions, and the company will showcase its collaborative conveyor with the innovative fenceless technology featuring the FANUC LR Mate 200iD robot during Pack Expo 2016, November 6-9 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois.

"Generally, collaborative robots work with a human operator side-by-side, but the difference between fenceless technology and collaborative is the speed," stated Michael Liu, Engineering Manager for Shuttleworth. "Our work cell demonstrates the robot running at 100% speed in normal operating zone. If human intervention is required, the robot will reduce speed and go to zero speed to allow for any correction or inspection needed. No access buttons or reset are required."
Shuttleworths collaborative systems meet Safety Category 3 PLd and the requirements of ANSI/RIA/ISO/EN 10218-1 for safety performance.
