Automate 2017 - Applied Robotics, Inc. Introduces 1st Tool Changer with a Lifetime Guarantee
The Inventors of the First Automated Tool Changer Have a Breakthrough New Line
Glenville, NY: Today, Applied Robotics, Inc., a leading global provider of robotic end-of-arm tooling and connectivity solutions, announces a lifetime guarantee on the locking mechanism of their new Epsilon™ line of tool changers being released at the Automate Show in Rosemont, IL. (April 3-6th, 2017) Residing between the robotic arm and the tool the new Epsilon™, allows the robot to change tools and support utilities on the fly with no work stoppage, a tool changer is productivity. The Epsilon™ line covers payloads from 10kg (22lbs.) to 1500kg (3300 lbs.) all with the Applied Robotics time and field proven engineered cam design.
The new Epsilon™ is built for todays faster and stronger robots. The product line features direct bolt to ISO 9409-1 patterns, higher strength materials, improved size to payload ratio, positive retract, couple/uncouple sensing, minimal required maintenance, and the time proven cam locking mechanism ARI is known for.
"Automate is the North Americas largest showcase devoted to automation industry trends, leading-edge technology and business innovation. Our new Epsilon™ line fits right in," said Kevin Drummond, Director, Sales & Marketing. "Weve incorporated advantages from three generations of our tool changers adding features to address changing customer needs where work spaces are getting tighter and loads are getting heavier. We have created units for press tending, in-auto-cabin welding and a small footprint high capacity model. We are heeding the future of automation and manufacturing."

Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
