LONG BEACH, Calif. — DENSO Robotics announced publication of a new product catalog featuring the companys wide range of compact, high-speed industrial robots, which have reaches of 350 to 1,300 mm, payload capacities as high as 20 kg and repeatability to within ±0.015 mm.


The 52-page publication, which is offered in an interactive online version or as a download at www.densorobotics.com/catalog, features detailed descriptions, specifications and schematics of DENSOs entire lineup of four-axis SCARA and five- and six-axis articulated robots, robot controllers and programming software.

A historical timeline in the catalog highlights milestones in the companys 50 years of robot innovation, including its latest HSR high-speed four-axis SCARA robot. The HSRs advanced vibration control, highly rigid lightweight arm and improved heat dissipation make it more efficient than previous models, allowing it to accelerate faster and stop more precisely, as well as run continuously at its highest rated speed.

"As a pioneer and industry leader in developing small assembly robots, were proud to be celebrating our 50th year in business," said Peter Cavallo, Robotics Group manager, DENSO Products & Services Americas, Inc. "Were also proud of the fact that our robots, which we design to meet our own demanding manufacturing requirements in the automotive sector, continue to offer our customers the highest performance and lowest cost of ownership in the industry."

DENSO is the worlds largest manufacturer — and user — of small assembly robots, employing over 18,000 of its robots in its own facilities. Over 77,000 additional DENSO robots are used by other companies worldwide.

The robots are used in traditional manufacturing sectors, as well as in advanced-technology applications in the medical, pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.

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.
